This was a very okay read for me. I didn’t particularly love
the book, nor did I despite it. There was a solid mystery to figure out and the
suspense was well done, but I didn’t particularly like the conclusion. Also,
the character development didn’t always mesh well for me.
I thought the beginning of the book started off with a bang.
The scenes in the woods were expertly written and I loved the descriptive
language the author used. I felt like I was right alongside the characters as
they fought for their lives. I had hundreds of theories over what could have
happened to the boys from them witnessing a drug deal gone bad to a
supernatural attack by a Big Foot creature. Suffice it to say I was wrong on
both accounts and what actually happened left me annoyed over the red herrings
placed in the book.
Avery was an okay character and I actually liked her more in
the beginning of the book than in the latter chapters. Instead of insta-love,
she has a case of insta-friendship with Fletcher that didn’t make much sense.
There isn’t a romance, but I couldn’t understand why she was so set on
believing his innocence when she barely knew him. Fletcher had his ups and
downs for me in the book, but I at least could make sense of most of his
actions.
The pacing was well done until the conclusion. It felt very
rushed and I didn’t feel as much resolution as I had hoped. I also didn’t feel
as much suspense as I had in the opening chapters.
Overall, a good, quick teen thriller that is a perfect rainy
day read.
