About this ebook
Chilling, mind-bending supernatural scares from cult horror sensation, Courtney Gould. Perfect for YA fans of I Saw the TV Glow and Backrooms, with the dark, multi-generational mystery of Yellowjackets.
'Part romance, part nightmare, this gothic horror will have you terrified of the color pink' – Megan Lally, author of That's Not My Name
Flickering neon lights and hot Miami nights turn deadly . . .
Twenty-five years ago, the Ripley Memorial High School senior class entered the luxurious Kaleidoscope Key resort. Most of them never left. The five survivors of the massacre have never revealed what happened.
Paige, daughter of one of the survivors, has grown up determined to steer her life away from the unsolved mystery her ex-best friend, KJ, can’t leave alone. But when she’s called home on the anniversary of the massacre, she finds KJ missing. There’s only one place she could be: the now-abandoned resort.
When Paige and the remaining survivors’ kids follow KJ there, they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: Kaleidoscope Key has been waiting . . .
Netgalley reviewers are loving Until the Last Light Goes Out:
'I absolutely DEVOURED this book on just one day. All the thrills, chills, twists, turns, and deviousness I’d want out of a horror novel'
'an absolute banger of a book! . . . one of those books that are just so good that I was covering the bottom of the page so my eyes didn’t jump ahead'
'eerie, mysterious and so atmospheric . . . the type of book to keep you reading until the early hours of the morning'
