A fun little book. I have read other "girls lost in woods" novellas and this was definitely better. Overall the tension was written well and the dual timeline was a nice touch that helped the story move well. The underlying story and character motivations felt a little off to me. I think everything background wise would have made more sense if they were college aged instead of high school. But overall I felt like the climax and ending were paced well and I was satisfied with how the story went. (book bought on etsy)

I enjoyed this read - it was a fast paced novella which touched on relationships - both romantic in nature and friendship while also getting us right into the action too. I liked the characters and the build up to the reveal but ultimately felt more could have been done to get there even in the context of a novella. I wish there was more of a why to the reveal as well instead of the unclear/random explanation. It ended up feeling too rushed when I felt they could have gone a bit further there. That being said, I hope to read from this author again as I enjoyed their writing style and think I’ll enjoy what they write next.

Great story! YA horror set in the 90s with a feel of Fear Street and Christopher Pike books!
