The Woods Are Always Watching by Stephanie Perkins
2.0

I feel very sad giving a Stephanie Perkins book only 2 stars because I adore her original romance series. But this was not what I was expecting.

The first almost half of the book is the two main characters trudging through the woods/wilderness whilst complaining the whole time. Then BOOM the story went from 0% - 100% and all the creepy/gory stuff happened.

I like a good scare but this was so icky, definitely not for the faint hearted. There's plenty of detail into injuries, dead bodies and other violent happenings. It also felt very stereotypical of the type of bad guys you'd find out in the woods.

I hope Stephanie Perkins goes back to romance, I enjoy it so much more.
