Say Your Goodbyes to the Light by M.B. Whittington Review

 

Elliot Marsh thought he had committed the perfect crime. The evidence was buried, the trail was cold, and his victim, Delyla, was silenced forever. But guilt is a shadow that cannot be outrun, and Elliot soon discovers he’s haunted—not just by his own conscience, but by Delyla herself.

It starts innocently enough: whispers in the dead of night, flickers of her face in mirrors, and the oppressive chill of a presence he refuses to believe is real. At first, Elliot dismisses it as paranoia—his mind cracking under the weight of what he’s done. But Delyla’s ghost grows stronger, turning his world into a waking nightmare. She invades his thoughts, manipulates his surroundings, and forces him to confront the life he destroyed and the dark corners of his soul.

As her vengeance becomes more unrelenting, Elliot spirals into paranoia and despair. Delyla is determined to make him pay, forcing him to relive her pain, her fear, and her final moments. Trapped in an inescapable cycle of torment, Elliot must make a choice: confess his sins and face the justice of the living, or endure an eternity of punishment at Delyla’s ghostly hands.

Say Your Goodbyes to the Light is a gripping psychological and supernatural thriller that delves into the depths of guilt, justice, and the fragility of the human mind. For fans of chilling hauntings and dark character studies, this novel is a harrowing exploration of crime, punishment, and the shadows we can’t escape.

My Review:

This story was interesting to read. The first part of the book is about Elliot and how he kills Delyla. His hunt, his decisions and, of course the kill. It was weird getting inside the mind of a killer. Especially a diabolical killer. I did not like the paragraph format and would have preferred chapters more. However, the paragraph format made it faster to read. I read the whole book in one car ride. The second half of the book is even freakier. Delyla haunts Elliot, and she is very good at it. The ending was good. I would love to read another book by this author. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy, all opinions are my own.
