Publisher's summary

Fatal attraction, primal fear, survival in the forest - from the author of the Printz Honor Book Stolen comes the highly anticipated thriller about deadly games played in the dark.

Ashlee Parker is dead, and Emily Shepherd's dad is accused of the crime. A former soldier suffering from PTSD, he emerges from the woods carrying the girl's broken body. "Gone," he says, then retreats into silence.

What really happened that wild night? Emily knows in her bones that her father is innocent - isn't he? Before he's convicted, she's got to uncover the truth. Does Damon Hilary, Ashlee's charismatic boyfriend, have the answers? Or is he only playing games with her...the kinds of games that can kill?

Excellent!

This is a well-crafted mystery. I enjoyed the author's writing style, and I will be looking for more of her books.

Everybody in this story is paranoid schizophrenia!

liked the ending, but that the entire middle of the book (hours of listening) was a jumble of words that contradicted themselves from every character. I was actually seriously surprised I finished this book. Every character dramatically changed there thought and directection in a very unrealistic way.

Mostly put me to sleep

This story probably would’ve made a good movie but it was WAY to descriptive to follow along and not fall asleep. I was intrigued in some part and others the author used 50 words to describe one object and it lost me. I’m like wait what are we talking about? It was decent for a free read but would’ve returned it if I used a credit.

Great Story

I really enjoyed listening to this book. in the beginning I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep my attention focused but the more I listened the more I got involved in it and I am so glad I listened to it all the way to the end. I will find another one of her books to listen to. hopefully it will be just as good

This is young adult fiction

I found this while searching for mysteries and thrillers, however it reads more like a young adult novel. I stuck with it despite figuring out what happened about halfway through the book.

Captivating and Exceptional

The narration is exceptional in The Killing Woods. You're held captive throughout the story and it's very easy to follow. A great read for all.
