If You Go Down to the Woods by Seth C. Adams

4.0

This book reminded me of the Goonies movie but more gore. The plots couldn't be more different but was similar by including a group of kids going on this adventure full of mysteries and terror waiting around the corner. This book had everything in it. A story of a boys first love, mystery, family, humor, friendship, and a shit ton of blood. I will be honest, I wasn't expecting any of the story line. I thought I was picking up this read about a bunch of kids finding something terrible in the woods (correct!) and them growing up and it haunting them. (wrong!) I was pleasantly surprised for a nice easy read. The narrator actually had me laughing out loud and at times nearly crying.
