"Stay on the roads. Don’t enter the woods. Never go out at night.
Those are the rules in Rowan’s Glen, a remote farming community in the Missouri Ozarks where Ivy Templeton’s family has lived for centuries. It’s an old-fashioned way of life, full of superstition and traditions, and sixteen-year-old Ivy loves it. The other kids at school may think the Glen kids are weird, but Ivy doesn’t care—she has her cousin Heather as her best friend. The two girls share everything with each other—or so Ivy thinks. When Heather goes missing after a May Day celebration, Ivy discovers that both her best friend and her beloved hometown are as full of secrets as the woods that surround them." -- From Goodreads
Will you like it?
Wow! I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I loved the character development in this book. Ivy and her friends weren't the only ones that were fleshed out; all characters that we came into contact with had some backstory. I also factor into my ratings on mysteries how fast I can figure out "whodunit". With this story, I was SHOCKED with every twist and turn that happened. This is definitely a must read for those who really like mysteries and suspense.
Disclosure: I borrowed a copy of this book from my local public library.
