Thank you to Book Sirens for providing a review copy.
The Dead Woods surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. The premise is pretty creepy, and the author does a great job creating an atmosphere of dread. This is a YA novel, with zero spice factor and one curse word in the entire book, so I would definitely say it could be enjoyed by late middle schoolers. There are some fairly gruesome deaths, though. Overall this was a fun story with some genuinely creepy moments and a very original ending.
