About The Book
Seven years ago, Jen Monroe left behind her hometown of Barrow, Washington after her father, a forest ranger passionate about protecting old trees from the aggressive logging business that runs their small town, vanished seemingly into thin air. She vowed never to return…until she gets a text from her estranged mother. Her father’s remains have been found.
It seems impossible to Jen who has always believed her father is still alive, and she returns home, determined to find out what really happened. When her ex-boyfriend proposes a camping trip into the woods in her father’s memory, it feels like the opportunity Jen had been hoping for: to find her father. To find the truth.
But what she finds lurking in the forest may be deeper, darker and deadlier than she could have ever imagined. And it has no intention of letting her leave.
Unsettling, tense, and atmospheric, this is a feminist suspense novel for those who have always known there’s something hungry waiting in the woods.

My Thoughts
This book was unlike anything I’ve ever read, and I went into it with completely different expectations. If you’re a fan of weird suspense novels, this story could be right up your alley and worth a read. I thought it would be scarier and darker, you know, like a horror book, but it turned out to be more of a mystery/suspense that really keeps you on your toes. Also, I found most of the characters to be pretty unlikable, which led to me not being as invested in the plot.
Although I managed to figure out some of the story’s twists, the ending was completely unexpected. I didn’t see it coming and still have mixed feelings about the way the story concluded. Overall, I thought the story was super original, but honestly, it felt a little slow, and the mystery didn’t grab me.
