Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Dead Things Are Closer Than They Appear is about found family, betrayal, trust, and love. In this book, thriller meets fantasy in an exhilarating adventure in a small town where magic exists within a fault line. When one part of the fault line is opened, Sid is met with unexpected friends on a quest to close it back up. 

I genuinely enjoyed this book. I did forget there for a second that it was YA just because the kids were in such a high-stake situation. The beginning was fun and fast paced. However, towards the end of the book it did slow down quite a bit and it wasn’t the ending I was expecting; It was anticlimactic.
