The rundown rental house didn’t seem so bad at first. But now, someone is stealing her food. Rattling her bedroom doorknob. Digging through her belongings. Each night brings more disturbing incidents. And each night, Nya is more convinced that it’s not an intruder. She suspects the culprit is hiding in plain sight: her peculiar roommate-of-necessity, Sidney.

When news reports start appearing of a zombie outbreak in Ireland, B's racist father thinks it's a joke - but even if it isn't, he figures, it's ok to lose a few Micks. B doesn't fully buy into Dad's racism, but figures it's easier to go along with it than to risk the fights and abuse that will surely follow sticking up for Muslims, blacks, or immigrants. And when dodging his fists doesn't work, B doesn't hesitate to take the piss out of kids at school with a few slaps or cruel remarks. That is, until zombies attack the school.

This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

So vivid and creepy! I feel like I was lost in the woods for days... it's hard for me to talk about this book without giving anything away. I just loved it!
Now I'm looking up the author's other books!

Reviewed: 12-11-22
The beginning of this book is 2 stars - and by beginning, I mean the first 5 or 6 hours! i completely gave up on it twice, before trying again this month and tuning much of it out until the action finally started. Then, it became a 4 star book! So good! So im rating 3 stars overall. I do not understand why the author waited so long to let the fun begin.

Reviewed: 10-22-21
It started out so promising! I thought the setting was interesting with so much potential to be exciting, scary, and new. But the characters were not interesting and i couldn't really understand how all their efforts would make any difference.
With such an elaborate set up, i thought this is going to need to be a series... but then, it became quite uninteresting rather quickly. I struggled to get through the last 3 hours. Oh well, I'm glad it's over. Perhaps a 2.5.

Not Horror!
Reviewed: 10-06-21
I didn't really like this book. I pushed through it, but I didn't care about it or what happened. Maybe i would have enjoyed it more if I was in the mood for a mystery novel. it does a fairly good job at setting up a murder mystery. still, it was often predictable long before certain parts were revealed. However, Audible has this categorized as a Horror novel, which it is not. Yes, there are a couple ghosts, but this is not what I would consider a scary book. Additionally, I did not like the ending. It was just boring.

It's no easy job being the town nutcase. Ella knows from experience. She's grown up in a quaint little place with people who pretend the extraordinary isn't happening around them. They ignore the bumps in the night and won't talk about doors closing by themselves or items moving mysteriously. They also won't talk about the old woman who haunts the streets. Those who do are fibbers, begging for attention. But Ella knows it is no lie - when the lightning cracks and the rain thrashes, someone goes missing: a child, lost to the night.

NOT Horror
Reviewed: 09-06-21
i have been disappointed by several books lately solely due to genre misrepresentation on Audible's part. This book was listed as "horror." This is a teen ghost mystery - makes me think of Scooby Doo while writing this. Most of it is about teenage drama among the "cool kids" and some "nerds." I stuck with it as its not a very long book and the narration was well done. The main event in the story actually skips over many of the potential horror, by only telling us very briefly what had happened after it was all over.
It's not a bad book, but it's certainly not horror!

NOT a Thriller
Reviewed: 08-09-21
This is a beautifully written book. And the narrator did a fine job. My problem with the book, and reason for rating only 2 stars, is that it's NOT a Thriller! It reads much more like a memoir; and a fictional memoir at that. I am not a huge fan of memoirs, but if I am going to read one - I want it to be about a real person.
I felt severely disappointed with this book because I was expecting what it was advertised as, "Edge of your seat Thriller/ Suspense...similar to Karen Slaughter...!" This book was Nothing like that. It was almost entirely about the young girl's relationship with her abusive father and how much she idolized him. I kept waiting for the excitement and suspense to begin... Then when there were only 2 out of 11 hours left in the book, I nearly gave up on it. I kept trying to convince myself that it was about to get really exciting any minute...but it never did. There was maybe 15 minutes of action that wasn't very suspenseful, because even that part was interrupted multiple times to flash back to her childhood and her relationship with her father.
I will not be recommending this book to anyone. I plan to return it myself. The book is not bad, just badly categorized and misrepresented.
