Reception
Critical reception was mostly positive.[1][2] Kirkus Reviews gave the book a positive review and stated that the book had a "satisfyingly chilly but calm resolution".[3] Kliatt also gave Deep and Dark and Dangerous a positive rating, commenting that the book's foreshadowing "is a bit heavy-handed" but overall writing that it "provides just the right amount of shiver for this age group without scarring them for life."[4] The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books remarked that while the book did not live up to some of Hahn's previous works such as Wait Till Helen Comes, it had "a compact and approachable shiveriness that would make it an easygoing vacation read."[5]
