My Review
There is only a few words fitting for this book...Creepy As Hell!
When a group of long time friends Jonathan, Gene, Michael and Conner head for a boys weekend away plans include dricking hunting and more drinking!
but when a young boy is shot things take a turn, A tradgic accident and yet panic takes over, the friend decided the best and only thing to do is bury the body.
10 long years later, they have all suffered the guilt weighing heavy has slowly eaten away at the all. Gene in the end could not cope with the tremendos guilt and he takes his own life.
When the remaining men are brought back together at Genes funeral they discover that the site of The burial could about to be uncovered by planned devlopment. There is nothing left for it but to return and move the body.
But questions remain from that day, Who was the boy?, Why was he alone? and as the men start digging what is with them in the woods? what has been waiting?
This was a read just packed with tension, the smotions and panic the men felt was compelling and I almost understood there worries if not the desision they came too. feeling the passing of time and the emotions of the men as the past comes back to litellary haunt them was chilling, I had some real goosebumps as this story played out. And a fair few oment where i really considered not reading this quite so late at night!
This is a fantasticly Creepy psychological horror, packed with tension, a gripping read with a complex and haunting storyline that is both chilling and dark and as the ending was playing out i found myself holding my breath
One fo the supernatural horror fans out there, I strongly recommend you leave the big light on while reading!
