Twenty-two years ago they had gone in search of the wilderness. The wilderness wasn't supposed to be like this. Where was she? What had happened to her parents? Who was this man? Who is she? A series of gruesome murders shakes the town. A mysterious woman is killed in a car crash. Ward's investigations reveal a trail of murder and abduction, and a history of wickedness. To know the darkest secrets. To know evil. Are you ready?
I was shocked when the main character dies at the beginning of the book. I almost decided not to read it because I didn't think it would be interesting without the character. It's sad that "Little Cloud" never really had a chance to enjoy her freedom after being in the basement for so many years. I liked the way the book had chapters which went into detail of "Little Cloud's" past and then other chapters telling current events. I never found it confusing to go back and forth and enjoyed getting to know the characters. This was a good book with twists and turns. Definitely an enjoyable read.
