It Waits in the Woods by Josh Malerman

3.0

---

A budding teenage filmmaker searches for her lost sister only to discover a supernatural surprise in the woods. It’s short, it’s well-produced, it’s actually a pretty decent YA yarn that just about anybody could kill a spooky 90 minutes with. But its done with a lot of sentimental purple prose that can be pretty eye-rolling. Simplistic, written for teens but not unpleasant. Also, didn’t know I could get audiobooks from kindle unlimited now?
