Boys In the Valley

While I did not love the audiobook - too many different character POVs without enough distinction between - the story itself kept me engaged. 

Well-paced, I never felt like I was trudging along at any point.

The isolated and somewhat bleak atmosphere and environment were painted very well. And the young boys in the story communicated as one might expect boys to do; they were well written.

My only real disappointment with the story is that I would have liked to know some of the ancillary characters just a bit more, to care about them just a bit more as individuals, beyond their being young boys experiencing a nightmare scenario. To be blunt, their deaths did not hit as hard as I felt they should have, because they were barely more than a name.

All in all, a worthy read if you enjoy supernatural tales, creepy kids, and grim settings.
