Things that Happen in the Woods

Star Meadows Duet #1

by Jessica Sorensen

When I was fifteen, I went for a walk in the woods. I was never the same again.
I was told to bury what I saw happen and to never speak of it again.

But secrets have a way of eating you alive until nothing is left, and seven years later, I'm in the middle of a divorce and trying to start over when I receive a call from my mother, telling me my father has died.

Now I have to return to the place that holds every one of my dark secrets.
Everything appears to be the same; the town, my family, even the woods. But secrets are weeping out of the weakening branches, and I discover that my father's death might not have been an accident.

I need answers. But finding them means digging into a past I've spent years trying to forget.

Slow read

The book is slow in building up to what happened. Almost stopped a couple of times. But the last couple of chapters were to be honest the best. Looking forward to new release in October

Really dark

This book is so similar to at least 2 other series that are set in Honeyton of a similar plot that doesn't go anywhere except into another unavailable book. Its getting frustrating and tiring. After this series and hopefully the ending of the Honeyton / Raven serie(s) I think I need another author and genre.

ffs

A story about a girl who can’t say no, who additionally had crippling anxiety.

She got it off a bad situation to then go back running head first in to it like a fking idiot that she is.

I was so sucked into this story from the first couple pages. I am so ready for the next book. Can't wait to see how the rest of this story plays out and who's behind the murders and missing girls.

Riveting read

I liked the development of the characters as depicted through memories and trauma. There are moments of surprise but also revulsion. I can't wait for book two.

Had a very slow start but once I got into it, it was great! Patiently waiting for the second one.

I've always loved Jessica Sorensen's books. This one is not any different it brings you on an emotional roller-coaster. The only downfall of Jessica books is she has alot of short stories and she just sucks you in and then you have to wait forever for the next book to see what happens next. I am so thankful she is getting better at writing longer books. Thank you! ❤️

Amazing book

This is so different from anything of Jessica Sorensen's books I have read. I really loved it and had my suspicions about who had been doing the bad things in this book but I wasn't sure till the end of the book and I was right. But I cannot wait until the second book to find out the why
