Publication date: October 3rd 2017
Genres: Horror, Young Adult
Vickie has always lived a quiet, ordinary life in an equally quiet and ordinary small town. Yet one fateful night a child turns up dead in the woods behind her house in a ritualistic slaughter. Vickie and her family are suddenly thrown into a national spotlight. But as the investigation unfolds, she begins to realize her family isn’t so ordinary after all. Evil is inching closer to those she holds dear and Vickie isn’t sure who she can ultimately trust.
The characters were a little flat. Vickie and her family could have been developed a little more for my liking. The romance seemed to be a side distraction, not well developed, and really pointless to the plot of the book. I wanted more of the romance, which means it was good enough to hook me in.
On the other hand, the story was good! It was suspenseful and kept me guessing up until the last minute!
Vickie and her family are thrust into the spotlight after a child is found dead in the woods behind her house. But that isn't all that happens. What happens when she finds out her family isn't as normal as she thought it was.
3.5 stars. The story was ok and there were moments I liked, but overall, it didn't completely deliver for me.
