“The air was a welter of odors: Ellie’s
fear: that charry, sweet stench: her own peculiar perfume of sweat and anxiety;
and that dead-meat stink that pillowed through the woods like ashy, gray smoke.
Slowly, carefully Alex dropped to her knees, the cold earth biting
through her hiking pants. Ellie didn’t move a muscle. Wordlessly, Alex followed
the girl’s horrified gaze and then her blood turned to slush.
No,
she thought. No, please, God, I’m not seeing this.”
My Rating: 5/5
I wasn’t sure what
this book would be about but the title and front cover caught my eye as I was
scanning over young adult covers at my library. A terrific read! I could hardly
put it down, not even to get some sleep and finally once I did all I could
think of was what was going to happen and how terrified the characters must
feel. Ilsa J. Bick paints a horrifying but realist portrait that easily can be visualize by the
reader. In my opinion, that is the part of the book that makes it a 5, the
amazing attention to detail. This is so tricky because I don’t wanna give it
away! I would recommend this book to teens who enjoy horror and gore.
THANK YOU ILSA J.
BICK FOR PAINING A BRUTAL YET BELIEVABLE FUTURE!
Thanks for reading,
Love,
Sidny xoxo
