7.3.2023 - The Woods are Waiting

The Woods Are Waiting by Katherine  Greene 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Crooked Lane Books, and Dreamscape Media for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the debut book by Katherine Greene, a best friends writing duo, and wonderfully narrated by Angie Hickman - 4 stars!

Cheyenne is back in her hometown of Blue Cliff, Virginia, to check in on her eccentric mother, Constance.  The town of Blue Cliff has a long history of missing children from the woods and parents have come up with superstitions to keep their kids safe.  Five years ago, three children went missing and Cheyenne found one of them.  A local boy, Jasper, was charged and jailed for the crimes but released when new information surfaced.  He's back and another child has disappeared.  Cheyenne and her childhood friends are determined to discover the truth.

I love a creepy story set in the woods and this debut novel checks those boxes in spades!  The opening nursery rhyme is enough to send chills up your spine.  This was a slow burn mystery with supernatural elements and enough creepy characters to keep you guessing to the end!  Great debut and anxious to read more from this duo!
