The Thicket

De: Noelle Ihli

Narrado por: Courtney Patterson

A riveting thriller about a woman still grieving her brother who was killed at a carnival, but when she goes back to retrace his steps the night he was killed, she learns the full, terrifying truth about what happened that night...

Everyone will hear you scream. No one will listen.

Norah can’t stop thinking about the night her brother died.

She was supposed to stay with him at the Halloween carnival. He’d begged her to stay. But they’d fought, and Norah left him alone in the woods. That was before she realized there was a real killer lurking among the costumes and macabre props.

When the carnival reopens just weeks later amid a media controversy, Norah decides to retrace her brother’s last steps in a desperate attempt to unravel what really happened that night. But the woods hold more than just traumatic memories.

Before long, Norah begins to suspect that the killer’s choice of hunting ground was no coincidence. And that this nightmare is far from over.

Wow

I love Noelle Ihli & her work. This one was phenomenal. The eerie anticipation throughout the whole story, the reality that this is something that could happen anywhere, the ending. The whole thing. It was so good. I only gave it 4 stars because I know there’s not a follow up to finish the few loose ends, but overall I think this is my favorite of her books so far.

needs development

I wanted to like it, but it needs further development of story and editing.

Hard to get through

Not suspense at all!
no real character development. was disappointing I really thought this would be a great story that unfolded with suspense
it did not!

The story kept me interested the entire time and waiting to see what came next

I can’t say that there was anything I disliked about this book. I thought there would be a twist/ connection to the neighbor!

Fantastic!

Best horror book I've read so far. Well written and kept me wanting to read more and more. I just couldn't stop! I absolutely recommend this!!

The similarities to Friday 13th

The childish behavior and non realistic attitudes of these mean girls was aggravating. Even with the slow development of the characters, they were so flat through the entire story. I struggled to get through in hopes that it may get better. Bad book. Just BAD

Fast paced, story with good details.

This was a good book. It is a nice palette cleaner for between more in depth thrillers. I would recommend for teenagers. The description of the characters and scenes was excellent. It felt like you were there. Fun read.

Great plot

I enjoyed the many twists and the suspense. I highly recommend this book to those who love a good mystery.

My favorite author!

I was waiting for this book and her next and her next and her next! I just love her stories and her characters! Keep them coming! Please!!

obsessed!

such great story telling. I hated for it to end. kept me on the edge of my seat. I also love the change in prospective.
