Tile: What Waits in the Woods
Author: @terriparlatoauthor

🪵I know a lot of books claim to hook you immediately, but this one REALLY did! Esme is on her way back to her hometown after ending a long-term relationship. Upon her arrival to her childhood home where her brother lives to take care of her dying father, she is greeted by police and the news that a body was discovered in the woods by her house!

🕵️‍♀️This story is told in breakneck speed alternating perspectives between Esme and Rita, a detective determined to unearth the secrets of the small town of Graybridge. I love stories with an elderly person with a failing memory and deathbed confessions, so I ate this one up!

🫢😱There were couple elements/scenes in this one that were super creepy and really look this one to the next level! The pacing was great, I was never bored, and didn’t see the ending coming at all!

🕵️‍♀️This was my second book by Terri Parlato and I can’t wait to read what she writes next!

📆This book will be available for purchase on December 26th!
