Goodreads Summary:
On her eighteenth birthday, Hayden inherits her childhood home—on the condition that she uncover its dark secrets.
Hayden tried to put the past behind her, and it worked. She’s getting ready for college, living in a Brooklyn apartment, and hanging out with her best friend and roommate Del. But now it’s all catching up with her: her mother’s mysterious disappearance a decade before, her father’s outlandish theories about a lost supernatural race, and Hayden’s own dark dreams of strange symbols and rituals in the Colorado woods where she grew up.
As soon as Hayden arrives at her hometown, her friend Del in tow, it begins: Neighbors whisper secrets about Hayden’s mother; the boy next door is now all grown-up in a very distracting way; and Hayden feels the trees calling to her. And among them, deep in the woods, Hayden will discover something incredible—something that threatens reality itself.
My Review:
I just knew I had to read this book when I saw the cover and read the blurb. Plus tress… trees… and trees!!
Right off the bat, the writing draws the reader in with its alluring words. Hayden is an interesting character, and you really never know what’s going on exactly with her. She’s well developed and as the story goes on you find out more! There’s present stuff, some past stuff, and a whole lot of I need to find out what’s going on.
The book pretty much had everything—friendship, mystery, creepiness, and a dash of romance. Trust me, you’ll want to get lost in these woods!
