Book: What Lies In The Woods

 Book: What Lies In The Woods

Author: Kate Alice Marshall

Pages: 336

This is my 106th read for the year

This is the story of Naomi.  When she was a little girl, she and her two friends, Cassidy and Olivia, were in the woods playing a game when Naomi was almost killed.  She has very little memory of that day, but a serial killer in the area is whom the police think is responsible, so Naomi helps put him in jail for good.  22 years later, Naomi is approached by a podcaster to tell the story of what really happened all those years ago.  Naomi and her friends didn't tell the whole truth when they were kids and have always kept the secret.  When Olivia wants to tell, it sets Naomi on a path to discover the truth from all those years ago and who really attacked her that day in the woods.

This was an okay book.  After I listened to it, I realized it was by the same author of the "No One Can Know" book.  I might have skipped it if I had paid more attention.  I listened to it and it was read by a person who seems to read a ton of audio books I stumble upon and I hate her voice.  She whisper reads and only has one voice for every guy she acts out, and I don't care for it.  I should look before I listen to audio books in the future.  I think that decreased my like for this book, but the overall plot wasn't very interesting either.  It was fine.  I had two "sort of" surprises, but not huge ones.  It ends satisfyingly, which gave it another half a star.
