These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant
4.0
Not quite what I expected. The hook made me think that when Jake does not arrive for his yearly visit, it would set off the action part of the book.
Instead, it's a much more realistic account. Weighing the risks, questioning your own paranoia, wondering what's best for your child, suddenly remembering what ot was like to interact with someone you find attractive...
I will admit that I am a little biased, too. I live on a remote homestead, so the daily chores and the ambiance of the setting resonated with me.
My only gripe with the book is the ending. It felt rushed and was very much of the deus ex machina variety. Almost feels like it was changed last minute.
Still, it's a book worth reading. Preferably while cozying up by the fire with some hot chocolate.
