House in the Woods by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! House in the Woods by Jessica Aiken-Hall tops the list of best books I have read in a long time. From the very first page I was hooked and found it impossible to put down. This book had twists and turns that kept me reading to find out what was going to happen next. Not only did it have me on the edge of my seat wanting to know how things would turn out for young Molly, but I felt an emotional connection with Molly.

Molly has just finished her second year of college and has plans to spend a quiet and relaxing summer at home. However, her plans of having a quiet summer are quickly shattered when Molly stumbles onto a Missing Persons poster of a young girl that went missing nearly 20 years earlier. For some reason unknown to her, Molly feels compelled to learn more about the young girl’s disappearance. Upon looking at the photo on the poster she feels as though she is looking at an image of herself. Molly is intrigued and knows that she must learn more about this missing girl. The resemblance to her is uncanny, and young Molly vows to do everything she can to find the young girl in the photo.

When Molly learns that her older brother, Marc, once dated the young girl in the missing persons poster she is even more intrigued. She needs to know the connection to her brother and starts suspecting there is more to the story. As Molly digs into the circumstances surrounding the young girl’s disappearance, she discovers deep buried family secrets. Secrets so dark and sinister that Molly wishes she had left them buried.

House in the Woods takes you on a suspense filled journey through the life of Molly and her family. The journey is dark, twisted, and full of sinister secrets that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. This book is a must read!
