The only thing Winter Crane likes about Reeve’s End is that soon she’ll leave it. Like her best friend did. Like her sister did. Like most of the teens born in town have done. There’s nothing for them there but abandoned mines and empty futures. They’re better off taking a chance elsewhere.
The only thing Winter will miss is the woods. Her only refuge. At least it was. Until the day she found Lennon left for dead, bleeding in a tree.
But now Lennon is gone too. And he has Winter questioning what she once thought was true. What if nobody left at all? What if they’re all missing?

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

I have to say, I haven’t read a YA thriller before, but Kelley Armstrong made me realize these are books I should read more often.

Winter is stuck in Reeve’s End hoping she’s going to be able to get away from her father and fulfill her dream of being a doctor. And when she helps a boy she finds in the woods, she’s suddenly in the middle of strange happenings and missing people.

This story had twists and turns. I wasn’t sure if Winter should trust Lennon, the boy she helped, or what to think of his brother. There were times I was convinced she shouldn’t trust both. But that’s the great part of a thriller (at least to me) is never knowing who the main character should trust.

This is a fast-paced read with a heroine that I truly enjoyed. I wanted her to figure out who was behind the evil that seemed to be in her woods and that, in the end, she found a happiness her life previously lacked.

I’ll definitely be checking out more books by Kelley Armstrong.
