What Waits in the Woods by Terri Parlato
2.0
1.5 stars
Unfortunately, this book was a bit of a miss for me. I found the whole vibe of the setting, writing and characters dreary and like a grey rainy day. I felt like the characters had no personality and didn't care if they became the next murder victim. I felt that the secrets revealed were unfulfilling and that the random family drama that popped up throughout the book didn't add anything and slowed the whole story down. I also didn't like how Cynthia was treated and thought that Irene was unnecessarily cruel with no justification. There was almost nothing redeeming for me in this book, which is very unfortunate because I had high hopes.
