Where He Can't Find You
by Darcy Coates
This was my first Darcy Coates book and I can confidently say I will be reading more of her work. I felt like I was watching a movie because she has such a strong grasp on how to use imagery in her writing.
I’ll start off by saying that I’m shocked this book is categorized as YA horror. I’ve read a lot of horror books, and this is the first one to ever give me that pit-in-my-stomach scared feeling. If you’re a younger reader, I would go into this one with caution.
I loved the main characters in this book. Each one was well thought out and they all had different personalities that shone throughout the book (I made friends with a cool bug) and fully developed backstories.
The illustrations throughout the book really drove home the uneasy feeling I was getting when reading about the Stitcher. Seeing glimpses of him and his aftermath was a nice addition.
The only reason I’m giving this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wasn’t thrilled with the direction the book went with the Stitcher himself. I won’t say too much, as I don’t want to spoil the book, but I truly wished the stitcher was the more obvious choice as I would’ve like to see how that unfolded. Though, I do like the plot line of how the “obvious choice” ties in to the Stitcher.
Well done, Darcy. Well done.
