What Lies in the Woods

Wrote a review for

This book is atmospheric AF - some people like haunted house stories, give me a haunted forest ANY DAY. Bonus points if the book's about people going missing or dying in the woods. I don't know, I can't explain it...it just works for me.


I really enjoyed the slow, melodramatic build-up to the various reveals in the story. I knew one of them as soon as it was introduced, but the journey getting there was still a lot of fun. You've got a lot going on, too...Naomi dealing with the inciting incident, Olivia calling her home out of the blue, having to come to terms with her father's hoarding issues and how much worse it's gotten since she moved away to escape everything, memories of the Goddess Game being unburied, the secret of Persephone, and a stranger coming into town to dig all of that up for a podcast episode.


The narrator was also really good - I'm just starting to get into audiobooks, so it was a nice introduction. It was an absolutely fascinating time.
