During a career-defining expedition to Alpenglow glacier, Dr Siena Dupont and her team discover a body hanging from the trees. Then, the body mysteriously disappears. The disappearance isn’t the only odd thing going on though. Siena’s map no longer aligns with the trail, the glacier they were supposed to study has melted, and a tunnel within a tree hollow lures Siena to a hidden cabin. Will the team make it through the Deadswitch Wilderness? Or will the wilderness swallow them whole and leave them gone without a trace?

Briardark is dark, haunting and bone chillingly creepy. Using time and space, as well as new dimensions to help keep you on your toes. With multiple points of view, and different timelines, Harian weaves a beautiful web, creating a spooky read that is perfect for a night time read. This is a wonderful use of cover art to really give you a look at just the kind of book you a signing up for. If you are ready for a new dark series that keeps you guessing and hanging on the edge of your seat, add this one to your to read pile!

The audiobook reading was very interesting, I'm not sure if the narrator was putting on a 'spooky' sounding voice or not, but it sometimes was a little off putting to listen to. Once I bumped it up to 2x speed though, everything went much smoother.

This creepy book will always and forever be one of the scariest things I have ever read. It has all of my nightmares in one book. Weird time stuff, creepy forests, unknown creatures, mental illness, research funding, and on and on. This author looking to nightmares and wrote a book that is believable! Imagine slipping through a rift in space and time and needing to try to find your way out. No thank you!
This narrator nailed it too. She had all right tones to do this justice. The only thing that could make this experience better would be if they had a full cast of narrators.
For the rest of my life this will be one of the creepiest books I ever read/listened to. I have no doubt.

Briardark by S.A. Harian was easily a 5 star read. This sci-fi, horror mystery was really good. I believe this was a debut novel and it checked all the boxes for me. It flowed well for me and had a unique story. I love backpacking so I really enjoyed that part. This was part of a series and man oh man I can’t wait for next one. Interesting characters in an interesting place that had my full attention.
I read some of this but finished by listening to the audiobook. Both were equally good but if you love audiobooks the narrator was excellent.
I hope you pick this book up!
