Description

RECOMMENDED BY GILLIAN FLYNN ON THE TODAY SHOW • A young Black girl goes missing in the woods outside her white rust belt town. But she's not the first—and she may not be the last. . . . “I read this thriller that is Get Out meets The Vanishing Half in one night.”—BuzzFeed “Extraordinary . . . A terrifying tale of fears and hatreds generated by racism and class inequality.”—Associated Press EDGAR® AWARD FINALIST • BRAM STOKER® AWARD FINALIST • SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD NOMINEE • PHENOMENAL BOOK CLUB PICK ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Esquire, Vulture, PopSugar, Paste, Publishers Weekly • ONE OF COSMOPOLITAN’S BEST HORROR NOVELS OF ALL TIME It’s watching. Liz Rocher is coming home . . . reluctantly. As a Black woman, Liz doesn’t exactly have fond memories of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a predominantly white town. But her best friend is getting married, so she braces herself for a weekend of awkward, passive-aggressive reunions. Liz has grown, though; she can handle whatever awaits her. But on the night of the wedding, somewhere between dancing and dessert, the newlyweds’ daughter, Caroline, disappears—and the only thing left behind is a piece of white fabric covered in blood. It’s taking. As a frantic search begins, with the police combing the trees for Caroline, Liz is the only one who notices a pattern: A summer night. A missing girl. A party in the woods. She’s seen this before. Keisha Woodson, the only other Black girl in Liz’s high school, walked into the woods with a mysterious man and was later found with her chest cavity ripped open and her heart removed. Liz shudders at the thought that it could have been her, and now, with Caroline missing, it can’t be a coincidence. As Liz starts to dig through the town’s history, she uncovers a horrifying secret about the place she once called home. Children have been going missing in these woods for years. All of them Black. All of them girls. It’s your turn. With the evil in the forest creeping closer, Liz knows what she must do: find Caroline, or be entirely consumed by the darkness. Read more

    • Just WOW
Extremely hard to put this one down! I was NOT expecting the story to start off with a bang. This was the furthest thing from a slow burn! Very captivating with a truly unexpected ending. Would read again!

    • Great Condition/Read
Physical condition: I ordered this new and that is what I received. There didn't appear to be any damage to the outside of the book or jacket sleeve. There were no weird print issues or anything that affected reading the story. Book Review: This book reminded me a lot of The Outsiders by Stephen King. The creature in the shadows, the way the supernatural begins to mix with the natural world, and the very real, brutal murders that go on for too long before someone takes the time to find out the truth. Even with this being the author’s debut novel, I think she did a great job with this story. The book never felt like there was something missing and it easily had me questioning everybody on if they were the killer or not. I enjoyed the way she would include small details throughout the book that would eventually come into play at the climax. Even the story her mother told, at what seemed like just a breakthrough bonding moment, ended up being a major clue as to who the killer was. I liked how the author gave us multiple point of views too. It gave us some insight into the girls who were murdered, the shadow monster, and even the main characters through someone else’s eyes. There’s also a good amount of suspense as we finally find out the truth and wait to see what Liz decides to do with it. The one thing I really didn’t care for was how things ended with Chris. Considering he was technically one of the main characters in the story, I don’t like how their relationship was just kind of brushed off. I get her not wanting to rush into a romantic relationship, but it would have felt better if it was just clearly ended rather than left without them speaking. Everything else seemed to be wrapped up, but that was just left unresolved. Also, while this book is technically a work of fiction, it does have some truth in it. She addresses some very real issues such as racism and classism that exist more than just in small towns. It gives perspective to those who don’t experience it or choose to be ignorant to it. What made it more interesting was getting to the author’s notes and finding out that quite a bit of the history mentioned of Johnstown did in fact actually happen. It’s not hard to believe, but it’s also really sad and frustrating to think about. I was even surprised to see my own hometown mentioned in the book. It brings up an ugly history that most would choose to ignore, and one we are not taught about enough in school. I am looking forward to seeing what books this author writes in the future. The only reason I gave it four and not five stars is because it unfortunately wasn’t a book that was super hard to put down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Heads up/Good to Know: Racism, Social Issues, Use of the N-Word, Violence Against Children, Graphic Violence, Multiple POV/Storylines, Some sexual content, Three Parts ... show more

    • The Ending?! What The … ??
Okay, what was going on with the ending?? This book started off good, with a good mystery of missing black girls that nobody seems to care about, but then she (the author) had to add the supernatural element at the end. WHAT?!?! I did not like that part at all!! Like I appreciate the storyline drawing attention to the injustices between blacks and whites, but why add the supernatural element to it?? I like it up until the supernatural part—hence, why I gave it 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️—and I’m not typically a mystery reader type of person. (I read this for a book club & it wasn’t my choice this month.) I also didn’t understand the romantic subplot at all, especially ‘cause it didn’t really go anywhere in the end. It was kinda like, “Okay, so you’re just gonna have s*x with a guy who you’re not even sure is a murderer or not … Okay … Whatever … That completely came out of nowhere … ” Anyway, I liked it, but probably not well enough to read another book by this author if she writes another book. 😊 ... show more

    • A phenomenal read
Unlike many books, I’ve read recently I had no idea where this book was going for the majority of it, which is no small feat. Very glad this landed on my radar and cannot recommend it enough for those looking for a little spooky novel written by a POC.

Review Image by Catharina Diaz Catharina Diaz
Wanted to read this given the author is Haitian-American for 1 and for 2 wanted to try a horror/thriller Liz Rocher returns home for her best friends wedding and Mel (her bff) daughtrer goes missing in the woods. This was a gripping read that kept me going. I wish there was more on Jack for the story. The execution at the end left a lot to still unpack. Trying to figure out who was behind the missing girls at first was hard but then kinda predicted it. Will really be trying another book from this author. ... show more

    • Excellent first novel
“Everyone thinks they know what my anger looks like. They think it’s screaming and yelling and fighting. Sometimes anger is a low vibration, the coil before the spring. Sometimes it sinks inside me and paralyzes me.” At some point in the near future, I’m going to have to revisit this one. I loved the first 3/4s of this book but then end fell a bit flat for me. Liz Rocher returns home for a friend’s wedding…and home isn’t somewhere she wants to be anymore. When her friend’s daughter, Caroline, disappears the evening of the wedding, Liz realizes there’s a pattern of black girls going missing in her hometown and she’s the only one who sees it. It’s up to Liz to find Caroline and solve the mystery of who, or what, has been taking young, black girls…and her own mystery of what happened to her so many years ago in these woods. In the beginning, Adams’ voice reminded me of It in the way she described Liz’s homecoming and the town. And, again, the first 3/4s of the book were remarkable. Adams creates believable characters with unique voices and a world I could almost see as I read. Liz’s internal struggles touched me and I loved the spooky element of this. This was an excellent first novel and I can’t wait to see what Adams writes next. ... show more

This isn't my first time buying books from Amazon but this is my first time getting a book of this quality. The back & front of the cover looks like it is almost ripped. Underneath the front cover is a huge dent like something heavy was resting on it. A huge pretty of me buying hardcover books is for the aesthetic & the book looks worn out already lol. Hopefully, the book is good…! ... show more
