I enjoyed the story, and it had some tense moments. I do love the blend of horror and the levity of a friendship. It injected some humor and created character depth. It is worth the read.
I had a hard time getting into this book. The beginning is very slow paced, with detailed back stories for many characters. I trudged through all 395pages , and the story picks up some a bit past the halfway mark.
There is a serial killer on the loose, some believe it is a certain man, others believe it is a monster. The police seem to be clueless and unconcerned, pretty much ignoring the many disappearances that have been going on for almost a century. So it is up to a group of teens to find a missing sibling.
Content Warnings: blood and gore, missing people, mental illness, grief.
There is no sex in the book and only a hint at a growing romance in the background.

This was beyond terrifying, gave me nightmares and had to take several breaks . Holy moly .
I am a Darcy Coates fan and this book did not disappoint. What exactly is the Stitcher-man or monster- made it a page-turner and I liked all the characters. The plot became a bit predictable but I still enjoyed it.

Where He Can't Find You is the first book that I have ever read by Darcy Coates. Whew! When I tell you my heart was RACING it was racing.
This YA novel follows a group of teens in a small town who are trying to figure out the serial killer who dismembers their victims then sews them back up, thus giving the nickname The Stitcher. The need to find out who The Stitcher is grows more frantic once Abby's sister, Hope, is taken.
Although this is classified as an young adult book, I did find that this book was quite unsettling. It was the perfect spooky read for the Halloween season, but if you love horror, you'll enjoy this one year round.
I give this one 3.5 stars, only because while I was on the edge of my seat this entire time reading this book, I don't like the feeling of panic that it gave me. There were times that I had to put my Kindle down because I could actually feel my anxiety creeping in. HOWEVER, I feel like Darcy Coates wants her readers to feel this and if that's the case she hit the nail on the head
Where He Can't Find You is available on November 7th.
