Forest of Missing Girls
The forest is hungry, and her family's secrets are tangled in the trees...
Lia Gregg always hoped to outgrow her fear of the woods surrounding her childhood home. The dark, menacing trees have long been the site of whispered legends and disappearances of girls like her. But after a breakup sends her back to live with her family, the woods feel more sinister than ever.
When a teenage girl disappears from their backyard, Lia's childhood fear becomes terrifyingly real. The missing girls are no longer just faces on the news. Now, the danger is closer than she imagined, and her younger sister could be next.
As Lia digs into the disappearances, she begins to suspect her mother knows more about the forest--and the horrors within--than she's letting on. To save her sister and uncover the truth, Lia must confront the secrets lurking in the trees and the darkness they conceal...before it's too late.

I went into this one intrigued—the premise of girls disappearing in the woods? Right up my dark, twisted alley. And as this was my first read from this author, I was ready to be surprised.
But what started as a suspenseful setup quickly veered off course. The shift into sci-fi/fantasy territory pulled me straight out of the thriller I thought I’d signed up for. The suspense took a backseat to speculative elements that felt more make-believe than menacing.
The book had potential—serious potential—but the direction it took just didn’t work for me. It became a struggle to push through, and it took me four times longer to finish than my usual reads.
If you're looking for a grounded, edge-of-your-seat thriller, this one might not scratch that itch.
⭐️⭐️ A near miss with a killer premise that wandered too far from the dark woods.
