Joe Hempel, award-winning audiobook narrator ★★★★★ "I read reviews saying it was scary and creepy but you just never know. Well let me tell you....it is all that and more! I'm still freaking out and anxiously waiting book 2!" ★★★★★ "Watch out Stephen King, there's a new sheriff in town! I finished the 400 pages in two days. This should be at the top of everyone's reading list!" ★★★★★ "You'll lose sleep with this one! I haven't felt this satisfied with a horror book in a long time. Every spare moment was spent in The Little Woods!" ★★★★★ "Did not want it to end! I would give this book more stars if I could! Cannot wait for the next book!" ★★★★★ "A scary 5 star read! I'm normally not too affected by scary stories but let me tell you, this one had me SHOOK. My heart was literally clenching." ★★★★★ "WOW. Horror-loving friends, this one was so good! A boys' coming-of-age story mixed with demons and creepy woods. You want a book that will continue to scare you and leave you on edge until the LAST FREAKIN PAGE? This is it!" ★★★★★ "Any author who is able to scare me the way AG Mock did, deserves all my respect. I cannot wait to read the second book in this upcoming trilogy. Because that ending?!" ★★★★★ "Scariest book I've read since The Exorcist!" ★★★★★ "Sends shivers up your spine! Highly recommend, but don't read it alone in a dark house!" ★★★★ "I loved that this was not just a regular horror novel. It's a horror novel masquerading as a coming-of-age story, and a really effective one at that. But don't worry, this is a horror novel complete with demons and gore and phenomenal terror. ★★★★★ "Wow! Atmospheric...the author throws you right into the story from page one...a completely absorbing story." ★★★★★ "Delivers true scares and kept me up way too late reading, even as I was looking around every corner of the room!" ★★★★★ "Could not put it down! I highly recommend this book."
