** This book has some graphic moments of child abuse (of all kinds). While I was able to stomach most of it, I did end up skimming some scenes
This was a good book. It was engaging, intriguing, and even though I guessed a few small things, it kept me guessing the big things till the end. I do have a couple of unsolved questions, and I think the ending revelation was a little too quick, without ensuing discussions - hence, my questions.
Overall, this was a good book, a bit graphic, but still engaging. But there was something missing that stopped it from being a great read.

3.5 stars so I rounded up. It was good, but predictable. Still enjoyed reading it for book club, and excited to discuss it
Bloody great thriller with a brilliant final twist!
Lo lei solo porque mi papá miro la serie del libro y le gusto. (Aunque la serie solo cubre la primera parte del libro)
Los libros de culto suelen ser super aburridos para mi porque todo lo que termina sucediendo se vuelve demasiado predecible y repetitivo.
Me lleve una agradable sorpresa con este. La forma en la que esta narrada la historia fue interesante de seguir
La unica razon por la cual le baje puntaje al final fue por ese epilogo que:
1. Salio de la nada
2. Fue estupido
Hay otras pequeñas quejas en otras cosas en la historia, pero bue.... no fue tan malo (o estupido)

I wasn't sure what to expect going into In The Clearing. I haven't watched the television show, but after reading the book, I'm intrigued. The story bounces between Amy and Freya and is set over a few days. I would classify the first half of the book as a slow burn as the story unfolds for Amy and Freya, along with Freya's son.
I was completely shocked by the major twist around the 50% mark, maybe slightly beyond. After that, the book picks up pace pretty rapidly. I couldn't put it down.
I really enjoyed In the Clearing, and wish I had known about it when it first came out, but am grateful for the chance to read it now.
Thank you Mulholland Books and NetGalley for the eARC!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The plot twist in the end was something I didn't except. It was really good, although not as good as Into the forest from Tana French
