"The New York Times bestselling author of The Wicked Deep weaves a richly atmospheric adult debut following three residents of a secluded, seemingly peaceful commune as they investigate the disappearances of two outsiders. Travis Wren has an unusual talent for locating missing people. Hired by families as a last resort, he requires only a single object to find the person who has vanished. When he takes on the case of Maggie St. James-a well-known author of dark, macabre children's books-he's led to a place many believed to be only a legend. Called Pastoral, this reclusive community was founded in the 1970s by like-minded people searching for a simpler way of life. By all accounts, the commune shouldn't exist anymore and soon after Travis stumbles upon it...he disappears. Just like Maggie St. James. Years later, Theo, a lifelong member of Pastoral, discovers Travis's abandoned truck beyond the border of the community. No one is allowed in or out, not when there's a risk of bringing a disease-rot-into Pastoral. Unraveling the mystery of what happened reveals secrets that Theo, his wife, Calla, and her sister, Bee, keep from one another. Secrets that prove their perfect, isolated world isn't as safe as they believed-and that darkness takes many forms. Hauntingly beautiful, hypnotic, and bewitching, A History of Wild Places is a story about fairy tales, our fear of the dark, and losing yourself within the wilderness of your mind"--… (más)

Travis Wren is hired by the family of a missing novelist, Maggie St. Clair, to find her. His quest takes him to a remote wilderness commune, Pastoral, where the inhabitants believe they are being protected from a plague because of their isolation from the rest of the world. The storyline focuses on a married couple Theo and Calla, and Calla’s blind sister Bee, who is in love with Levi, the leader of Pastoral. When the newborn baby of a commune member becomes ill, everything begins to unravel, as some think outside help is necessary and others are dead-set against it. Ugly secrets and lies turn the once-tranquil Pastoral into a nightmare. With their belief systems challenged, Calla, Bee, and Theo are forced to make difficult decisions. The prose is sometimes flat, but the imaginative story, which almost reads like a dark fairy tale, was interesting enough to hold my attention throughout. ( )

Absolutely loved this book, Thrilling, confusing and exciting. Tried my hand at solving the mystery but was caught off guard by the twist. Really kick-started my venture into psychological thrillers. ( )

I probably am not being fair, because this book was a bit more fantasy than I thought it would be, and I am not a huge fantasy fan. Overall, the book was good, there were some interesting twists and turns.
Travis is a man who has a remarkable talent of feeling how and where people have been, and often is sought after to find missing people. This takes a huge emotional toll on him. He is struggling with a lot of pain, when he is hired to find Maggie St James, who was a popular author who suddenly disappeared. Maggie's mother tells him that she may have been wanting to be lost. Travis follows her trail, which leads deep into the woods. He comes to a very hidden community.
In this community, the people inside have chosen to withdraw from society, knowing that they are safe when inside, yet some within the community begin to wonder if there isn't a way to leave every once in a while, if there is something on the outside, like medical help, that they need. The story shifts between these characters. ( )

3.5/5

A leitura é envolvente e com personagens cativantes. O início do thriller é excelente, o que me aborreceu foi o enredo da seita, tão parecido a tantos outros e um bocado batido. ( )

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

~4.5 stars. Once I got into it I didn't want to put it down so I could see if my guesses were correct and see how everything else wrapped up. I did have to put this book down for a few days at the beginning because there was a lot of tension in it, and I just came off of reading a book with a lot of tension, after a semester of a lot of stress and tension and I needed to relax! I don't usually read suspense but I had just read "The Wicked Deep" earlier this year so I thought I would give it shot. I feel like the title might be a little misleading as "A History of...." does not seem like the beginning of a fiction book. ( )
