I finished this in one day. I appreciate a read that has me turning the pages, but part of me feels like I’ve seen the lost in the woods trope so much. This wasn’t very high on my TBR, but Frieda did not disappoint. I decided to read it now because I’m seeing it all over bookstagram. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for an evening read!

This book’s suspense had me on the edge. I was reading through it, trying to figure out every angle. Of course, I was wrong and a shocking revelation that occurs in every one of Freida’s books got to me. I was totally not expecting that twist. This is a must-read suspense. Lost in the wood murder mystery vibe. Another great book by this author !

One of her best.  I loved this it played out like a film in my head.  It was fast paced, quick and easy to read and follow. A horror rather than her usual thriller style. I couldn't put it down.
Highly recommend to those who enjoy a thriller of horror story; and the twists st the end, they kept coming until the last page, amazing writing.  Honestly I don't need to give it a second thought when I see one of her books in the shop, I don't even look at the blub.  If I've not got it it's coming home with me.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

I found this Freida read fairly predictable. There were a few parts that were surprising but I mostly had it all figured out. Of course when you read so many books by Freida, I guess beginning to figure them out is inevitable. Regardless, I really enjoyed this book & flew through it in just a few days. There weren't any parts that got dry or lagged & I was engaged in it all the way through. Id definitely recommend this book to others!
