After reading several books in a row that took real effort to become absorbed in the story, what a relief to read Dark Corners, the newest Rachel Krall book by author Megan Goldin! This story immediately had me captivated, and I couldn't wait to be able to return to it and see what happens next!

The plot is twisty and too hard to summarize here, but suffice it to say that you will not be able to put down this book until the mystery is solved in the final pages!

Thank you to Megan Goldin, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this story and all the twists! Told partly in a podcast and the rest in present day life the reader is thrown into the world of social media influencers and a desperate race to keep a suspected killer from being released from prison. The title is perfect and has several meanings in the story. Once I started reading this book I didn’t want to put it down!

I unfortunately wrote no spoilers for Dark Corners, so I don't remember as much as I should. If anyone took notes and wants to write a guest blog post, please let me know 😅

I am thrilled that Megan Goldin decided to turn The Night Swim into a series. While I did prefer the first book, Dark Corners is fast-paced with plenty of twists to keep the reader interested. There are a lot of different threads, but the ending pulls everything together well and I was satisfied by the reveal. I enjoy books with podcast and influencer elements, so this was a fun read.

This is a fast paced and entertaining thriller with 2 POVs, the MC, our true crime podcaster Rachel, and our villain. Rachel also started in Night Swi, but this can be read as a standalone since the podcast identity is really about all they have in common. There were some repetitive and weirdly worded phrases, but if you're looking for entertainment, not literary writing, this might be the quick read for you.

I really like this author and her books. Dark corners was a read that I found hard to put down and had a satisfying ending. Definitely recommend!

If you loved “The Night Swim” like I did then you’ll love this second book featuring Rachel Krall, podcast host extraordinaire. It’s a quick, clean read that gives your brain something to consider.

I LOVED this book!! I am kind of obsessed with books including podcasts and this one was amazing!!! I really loved how Megan added the insane world of social media to this book... it was so good. and the twist was even more crazy!! I think Megan Goldin is becoming one of my favorite thriller authors. I cant wait to read more from her !!

After reading The Nigh Swim and rating it 5 stars, I was thrilled to receive a copy of Dark Corners. I devoured this one in a day. I hope this author continues this series because I need more. Can't recommend this one enough.

I love everything Megan Goldin writes she is amazing and has the best plot twists. I always felt the twist and suspense.

Megan Goldin’s Rachel Krall Series has had me on the edge of my seat and I can’t get enough!

In this latest installment, Dark Corners, Rachel gets pulled into an FBI investigation into a potential serial killer. Can she solve the case before anyone else gets killed...or she becomes a target?

I love the format of the books with bits of podcast woven in to give you more pieces of information and background on the case and suspects.

I'm not going to tell you anything more about the story itself because you need to watch it all unfold on the page to get the full effect, but I will say you're not going to want to miss this one.

When a vivacious, young influencer suddenly disappears in the wake of a harden criminal being released, police ask for assistance from Rachel Krall, a well-known podcaster. Although Bailey was only serving time for breaking and entering, he was greatly suspected of murdering several women. When Rachel gets to town to join BuzzCon, the influencer conference, another woman is found murdered. The most telling thing is a tattoo she has. . . one that Rachel saw when she visited Bailey in prison. Does he have someone on the outside helping him and neither man has been caught in these terrible murders? Can they find the connection before any other women are murdered?

I loved reading the Night Swim, so I was super excited to see a second book! The main character, Rachel, is a podcaster who became more famous then she ever imagined after she helped a man overturn his guilty verdict. The book begins shortly after Night Swim ends when Rachel is called to go to Florida to help with a different case. I love that books are including podcasters and influencers because they are such a part of society now. I recommend Dark Corners, and am always excited to see a new Megan Goldin!

This book had a unique plot, and the pace was quick which made it easy to follow the story. I enjoyed this book as it was creepy, engaging, and I liked the element of romance in it. There were some twists that were well executed . Overall, I liked Night Swim better. This book included too many details about influencers that made it less engaging for me.

I really enjoyed Dark Corners by Megan Goldin, the follow-up to The Night Swim. The book was an interesting take on how involved one can become within a crime, social media, and what comes with it. The author does a great job in making you feel a part of the story. There was also a romance subplot which I didn't expect but enjoyed. Hoping Megan continues this series as I enjoy the characters and the podcast element. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

Rachel Krall is always a fun and interesting character to follow around. The true-crime podcast aspect really allows her to dig into her detective side, and i always love seeing how her brain works and she everything pieces together.

I didn’t love this one as much as The Night Swim, but I still greatly enjoyed it. Megan Goldin’s writing is always easy for me to read, and I find myself consistently not wanting to put their books down. Can’t wait for the next one!

Rachel Krall is back, and I couldn't be more happy with it! This is how you do a podcast based thriller the right way. I loved that we get Rachel in her personal life and how she's interacting with the world along with how she navigates her work life - AND - we get how they intersect. This thriller dives into the dark corners of social media, and how the lives of influencers are formed. The book shows how false the persona can be in that life. That glitz and glamour is contrasted with the dark corners of humanity and the fringes of society, those people who are rejected and ignored. I LOVED what Megan Goldin did with this stark reality of each side of things. The multimedia elements and the twists, turns, and connections were sublime. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that this one was incredibly convoluted and well done. Loved it!

I want more Rachel Krall! Dark Corners was a fun and thrilling follow up and I enjoyed seeing more of Rachel Krall's personal life.

Dark Corners continues the story of Megan Goldin's podcaster, Rachel Krall, who is coming to terms with her newly found fame while trying to maintain her anonymity. When a well-known influencer is missing from a social media conference and Rachel is flown to Daytona by the FBI to meet with a prisoner she knows two things: 1 this isn't a coincidence and 2. these events are connected and would also make for a great podcast. When FBI Agent Joe Martinez divulges the prisoner, Terrence Bailey, is due for release but suspected as being a serial killer, asked to see Rachel specifically, she knows all is not as it seems. Terrence warns her the most dangerous monster is the one who in plain sight. How do a seemingly affable rideshare driver, a prisoner and a social media influencer all tie together? Pick up Goldin's latest fast-paced thriller and find out. I really enjoyed the pace, setting and twists of Dark Corners, Fans of Goldin will enjoy the continuation of Rachel's story and I hope to see more.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

I absolutely adored this book. I hadn't realized it was a continuation of sorts from Night Swim and was elated when I opened the book and found out! Night Swim was phenomenal, and this book was just as great. Out of all the books I've read so far this one is the one that's stayed with me the most. It had an eerie unsettling vibe that really stuck with me.

Thank you @stmartinspress and @netgalley for the advanced copy! Officially out now 👏🏽
‌
𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗦 is the much anticipated sequel to 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗦𝗪𝗜𝗠 following podcaster Rachel Krall. If you haven’t read 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗦𝗪𝗜𝗠 I highly encourage it - definitely a 5⭐️ thriller.

Although this one didn’t have the same premise as 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗦𝗪𝗜𝗠 I still enjoyed it. With the storyline being an active investigation I understood why it couldn’t follow its predecessors theme. But I did miss the podcast theme throughout the chapters. I love Rachel’s character so it was great to jump back into her world. I think she deserves more books.
‌
I highly recommend reading both of these. Step into Rachel’s world 🌎👏🏽
