Toni Accardi is a driven college student with a sharp intuition, a tight-knit circle of friends, and a family she'd do anything to protect. Her world shatters when her best friend, Nikki, is found dead of an apparent overdose the day after Thanksgiving.

But something isn't right.

The girl Toni thought she knew so well was keeping secrets-big ones. As strange details begin to surface and people close to Nikki start acting suspicious, Toni can't shake the feeling that her death wasn't accidental. And she's determined to find out what really happened.

Enter Matt: a gorgeous, mysterious law student with ties to Nikki's boyfriend-and a past he's not eager to share. His sudden interest in Toni only complicates things further. Is he trying to help her uncover the truth... or protect someone from it?

As Toni digs deeper, lies unravel, loyalties are tested, and danger gets closer than she ever imagined. In a season meant for family, joy, and celebration, Toni finds herself caught in a chilling web of betrayal, buried secrets, and a truth that someone is willing to kill to keep hidden.

In the Dark is a gripping New Adult suspense novel about grief, friendship, and the dangerous things people hide behind perfect facades. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, One of Us Is Lying, and We Were Liars.
