What Lies In the Woods
I just finished reading the psychological thriller What Lies in the Woods by Kate Alice Marshall. This was a Book of the Month book I received quite a while ago. Book of the Month is a great subscription program and I have subscribed for a few years now. Each book is less than $15 and as a subsciber you receive a hardback book each month.
What Lies in the Woods tells the story of Naomi Shaw and her two best friends, Cassidy and Olivia. When the girls were young, they spent many hours in the woods playing the "Goddess Game". The game became a special time for the young girls and bonded them for life. This all ended when Naomi was stabbed 17 times, and miraculously survived the stabbing. Naomi and her friends were able to identify the man (a serial killer) as the accused stabber and put him in jail for life. As the story moves on, we learn that the girls lied about so much. It is now 23 years later and Olivia wants to tell the truth, but she mysteriously disappears. Naomi must dig for the truth, and confront her past demons.
I gave this book 4 stars. It kept my interest to the very end, and I found it to be an excellent read. I especially loved Naomi's character. She was fearless and strong. I felt like I truly knew her and was very heavily invested in her character. The story had so much depth and was a strong clear plot that kept me going with many twists and turns. I highly recommend this book and would love to read another book by this same author.
Thank you BOTM!
