A review by readwitray
What Waits in the Woods by Terri Parlato

4.5

I think this is my favorite thriller of the year. 

Esme has returned to her home town after a injury ruins her ballet career. The night she returns to town one of her high school friends is murder.  

This is a great fast paced book. We get two complete different POVs from Esme and the lead officer of the case Rita.  Both are going through their own lives and issues through out the case. 

As a ex ballerina I could tell Esme’s pain from losing her ballet career (I only did Ballet through college). 

This book has so many characters with great personality and back stories. 

Things from the past never stay buried and are coming to ruin everyone’s “perfect” life.
