The Waking Dark by Robin Wasserman
4.0
I was given explicit instructions to not read this at night due to the terror it would instill. Like a true stubborn person, I read this at night and when my roommate was out of town. Perhaps it is all the Hanibal I have been watching but I wasn't as scared as warned.
This book is based out of a desolate town in the middle of who knows where. It has a handful of main characters but follows the whole town as they go from your stereotypical small community to one that is plagued and spurred by blood, murder, revenge, and lack of morality.
Don't let me fool you, this book is frightening. Although a YA novel, I wouldn't let my teen read this. But as an adult, this book was captivating and mysterious. I have a skill of predicting the endings before the first chapter ends and I was enthralled and surprised by this book through the end.
