This audiobook, narrated by Matt Godfrey, blew me away. It also got me through the tail end of 21 days of Covid, in which I struggled to concentrate properly and correctly on the written word. Jonathan’s storytelling carried me away to the mind and world of an angry but caring teenager who just wants to protect his little sister and date his crush. But he’s thwarted by an escaped child killer and…something else in the woods.
This book is so evocative that I could see everything just as it happened…even if I didn’t want to. It’s terrifying and dark and fast and amazing.
I live on a mountain, surrounded by woods. I’m not going outside for a while.
