"so boring"

"I really didn’t care for the first half of the story at all, but it got a lot more interesting throughout the second half. I didn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t recommend it either."
Rhiannon Rabby
"Amazing read, absolute page turner. If your into mystic books that take place in the woods, your in luck!! "

"It’s always the right time to read a creepy thriller, the premise of this novel hooked me. A twin sister who lives in the woods, and even better a mystery to solve after a boy has been attacked.. it’s a whodunnit you’ll want to read.<br/><br/>Written in first person, this book delivers a personal perspective of events. There are many characters, and a very far fetched plot, but it works for the book. It’s got a dystopian feel, without being labeled as such. It’ll definitely keep you guessing. The ending felt like a cliff hanger to me, as I did still have some questions. But maybe that’s the purpose, to use your imagination and think up the rest, or maybe there will be a second installment? <br/><br/>If you’re into the creepy plot, with a mystery you won’t be guessing, this one is definitely for you. October is just around the corner and I recommend you add it to your spooky reads!"
