What Stalks Among Us by Sarah Hollowell
Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.
I had hopes for this book. There’s something about the fat girl, knowing she’s fat, being worried about it in high school and how she fares on rides that really gets to me. Talk about a lived experience. The idea of her and her best friend getting lost in a corn maze rather than going on the school field trip should be up my alley. However, it feels like the reader is dropped in the center of a story that’s already started. There is almost no buildup. It’s just we’re in the corn maze and there are bodies. This book has a promising premise and maybe I’d enjoy it more written rather than audio. Or maybe it’s the AI reader because it is a galley copy. Either way this book is officially a DNF. I didn’t care about the characters once they entered the maze and now, they’re introducing clones of the characters that are the dead bodies it just it feels like a mess.
