Cassie and Laney fancy themselves amateur ghost hunters. When a carnival comes to town, Cassie embraces the chance to try something new.
Carnival workers watch the girls with a collective gaze that ignites in Laney a dark and dangerous fascination, leaving Cassie unnerved.
It's not just their age or the unsettling way they stare. There is something in the shifting of their skin and the way their features seem to change in the shadows.
Cassie can's shake this sickening feeling that there's more to the carnival than meets the eye.
When townspeople suddenly start dying and bloody warnings appear around town, Cassie is lured into a nightmare where trees whisper and strange, shape-shifting men haunt the backwoods she once hunted for ghosts with her best friend.
Then Laney goes missing, and only Cassie can get her back. But the creatures of the trees aren't simply going to hand Laney over to Cassie without getting something in return.

(I received this book free in exchange for my honest review)
My rating: 4 stars
This was a one of king book, I was sucked in from the start. It was rich in detail and lush with mystery.
But
It did start out a little slow for me, the opening was great, but then it was like the brakes got hit. But I didn't mind because the writing was good. The tone of this book kept me intrigued, you could feel that something wasn't quite right and that suspicion pays off in the end. (Not going to get to much into that, because you know, spoilers)
Cassie, she was annoying at times, mostly at the start when in was in that slow phase. Because of the dancing love thing, that was going on between her and Ryan. In my option, it really had no place in the book, and adding nothing of importance. I'm not a fan of the -they both like on another, are they, aren't they..- it's just filler that can be left out, or added in as background.
I did like how loyal Cassie is to her friends, and how she saw the danger. (Stranger danger people, it isn't just a saying. Don't take drinks from strangers, get them yourself) She grew through out the book, and she slowly became a new favourite for me.

I highly recommend this book, it took me on a rich ride that had my hart in a vive grip. It was a thriller as well as a YA that I couldn't put down.
Happy Reading.
