What Waits in the Woods by Terri Parlato
3.25
challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I’ve read better books with this general plot line, but I’ve also definitely read worse so I’ll take it. I found there to be interesting dynamics between all of the characters and that was enough to allow for some real mystery. It almost felt like everyone hated each other in this town and honestly, having grown up in a small town, I feel that! It also felt to wrap up really fast after the build to the climax and that was a bit disappointing.
