This book hits the ground running and does not slow down at all. 

Hunted had me on the edge of my seat the whole way along. Every twist was unexpected and every perspective was a new adventure.

Omgooorsh what a ride! Such a departure from the other D.C. I have read. This unfolds like a found footage documentary, and you get multiple character perspectives. This not only leaves you with bated breath at the end of most chapters come mid-book, but it makes for a truly fun (and at times super gross) read. I have been dipping my toes in the horror genre, and I found this very beginner friendly. 

While I would have liked more character depth, there was enough to keep you either seething or rooting for someone. She wrote Todd all too well…I’ve known this man, and it just gave me the shivers each time we were on his chapters! 

While definitely not cozy horror, it’s a casual fun horror, and I would definitely recommend it!

I wasn’t sure about this book for the first 10 chapters but after that I could not put the book down. Love it.

I wasn’t sure what to think of this book. It started off slow and I put it down several times before trying again. But about halfway through it got much more interesting with a lot of twists and turns! And the ending was much better than the start.

Shit. I want Anna and Hailey on my zombie apocalypse team.

The first part of this book is a lesson in everything not to do in the woods. Then comes Anna. Then it gets creepy as hell. Great horror/thriller/suspense read.

I picked this book up second hand for a couple bucks and I'm sure glad I did! I'm going to look for more books by this author now. It was a really fast read for me and I enjoyed it immensely! It was creepy and exciting. 

I only had a couple of small issues like:

 

Why didn't they look at the negatives? How large were these spools of string? I feel like you need a whole craft store full of string to put as much up as they did.

But it was really fun to read and those are all minor complaints! Can't wait to find more books by this author!

Okay this book was so good. Wow!! Darcy Coates is a good writer. When you discover who the killer is and Carla piecing everything together. Again so good, loved it so much. It kept me at the edge of my seat.
