I actually bought this book last year, just before Halloween. When an author can keep my attention like this throughout a book, that’s some good writing.The book’s strength is in Marshall’s ability to make things tense and spine-chilling.But I have some issues in regards to this. Now, as an #ownvoices reader, I was excited to see that Becca was Asian.

There’s a diverse cast of characters here.

Goodreads | BookShopOrg | IndieBound | B&N | Book Depository The road is rarely forgiving, and no one will be the same on the other side.

Together, they will have to draw on all of their strengths to survive. And even though she’s hardly spoken with them for a year, Sara finds herself deep in the darkness of the forest, her friends–and their cameras–following her down the path. When a mysterious text message invites Sara and her estranged friends to “play the game” and find local ghost legend Lucy Gallows, Sara is sure this is the only way to find Becca–before she’s lost forever. With her sister gone, Sara doesn’t know whether her former friends no longer like her…or are scared of her, and the days of eating alone at lunch have started to blend together. It’s been exactly one year since Sara’s sister, Becca, disappeared, and high school life has far from settled back to normal. Who is brave enough to find her–and who won’t make it out of the woods? Once a year, the path appears in the forest and Lucy Gallows beckons. Synopsis: In the faux-documentary style of The Blair Witch Project comes the campfire story of a missing girl, a vengeful ghost, and the girl who is determined to find her sister–at all costs.
