This book had me in a chokehold. I finished it in a day. I couldn't put it down! It is gripping. Liz goes home again for her best friend's wedding. She hates going back to her small hometown. The woods are eerie. Nothing ever feels good about it. Everything goes wrong at the wedding.... SO WRONG.
The beginning has a slow build to it, and it's worth it. I'm still debating with myself how I feel about the very end of the book. I loved how all the characters were involved and the twists. However, the other elements threw me off and pulled me out of the story a bit. Overall I loved the book, but I'm debati if I loved that ending.
