A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw
5.0
4.5.
I love this book. The writing was beautiful and atmospheric. It created the perfect creepy and mysterious atmosphere of the village. The whole time your wondering what is going on here and who are Theo, Callie and Bee. What happened to Travis and Maggie? The pacing was really good and i liked the characters.
My big complaint is I thought that the twist a little too predictable. I figured it out pretty early, but it seemed to me to be a retelling of the M. Night Shambala film The village. If I hadn’t seen it, it may have been more difficult for me to figure it out. I remember the first time I watched The Village I thought the twist was kind of lack lustre, but as time has gone on I really love the idea and the twist of the film. I’m surprised this is the first novel that I’ve seen use it for a retelling.
