Probably more like a 3 1/2 star book, it has a good hook to reel you in and the pace is fast and full of tension. My only complaint would be that the main protagonist goes a long while without seemingly worrying about his lifelong friend and fellow victim.

An atmospheric chiller where two boys go into the wilderness to fish. They stumble across an old abandoned church which has been blacked out. With the three missing girls from their school on their mind they enter to get out of the storm which hit them.
I really enjoyed the anticipation which creeps up the spine after every chapter in this novel, and the weirdness of the two antagonists, especially the younger one.
It got a little cheesy when the protagonist finds one of the missing girls, but teenage boys are cheesy around girls, so I can get over that.
Well worth reading.

The author is a master of suspense! Despite the horrific and terrifying happenings throughout this novel, I just couldn't put it down. I had to know what happened next although I was terrified to do so. And the ending!

I can't say that it wasn't suspenseful or without gratifying descriptions of gore, but it wasn't a good book. If I ever have to read the phrase "it was like a movie" again I might lose it. At least it ended quickly.

from amazon: New Paris, Ohio has a problem. Its teenage girls are starting to disappear. Panic and paranoia have descended on the small community, and its residents are on edge. Two high school seniors, Garrett and Luke, seek refuge from it all by doing some fishing at a nearby lake. But, when their boat breaks down in a remote area, they are forced to seek refuge of a different sort. With a storm rolling in, they set out on a deserted back road in search of shelter. What they find instead could provide answers to the town’s questions and solve the mystery of the missing girls. If they live to tell anyone…
I had a hard time reading this one - it was scary as hell and I don't do horror movies well! The fact that these were typical teenagers made it more difficult - I ended up skipping much of it.
yes it was well written, but I doubt I'll read any more in this genre. And I won't go down any dark basements by myself when I don't know what's there either!!!!
I'm not going to rate this one. It was written well, but I don't feel qualified to rate it.
