This was a great first read from this author and I really enjoyed it.

It follows around 4 friends through the woods as they try to find Chris' sister Eileen after the police do not take them seriously and refuse to help. It doesn't help that they think there is a monster in the woods, silly kids just pulling a stupid prank, right?

Wrong. This entire book kept me intrigued. You would think they were going to survive or to be unharmed, but they kept making stupid mistakes in the typical horror novel fashion. It reminded me of the Geico commercial where the kids don't get in the getaway car to get away from the serial killer, but if they didn't make stupid mistakes, there wouldn't be a great story line.

I was kind of disappointed for how the book ended, but I will not ruin it for anyone. It's one of those that has closure, but it lacks a sense of finality. It was rather easy to put the pieces together as to who done it; I figured it out long before it got to that part of the book, so it was a little predictable for my taste, but overall, a great book and a fast enjoyable read.
