It is a quick read. But it is a kind of book that would give you a nightmare. I would recommend though NOT reading it at Night. So if you are looking for a quick read, a mystery and a sad story well there you are! ( )

It’s 1958. Mendy Thompson’s secret hideaway is the most beautiful place she knows—a hidden forest clearing near her home in the Tennessee mountains. When Mendy discovers that trespassers are coming to clearing at night, trampling and littering it, she tries to scare them away. But the intruders are filled with hate. Instead of leaving the clearing, they turn on Mendy… and on those she loves. Even death hits the ones she loves. Mends has never imagined such hatred—and now she must find a way to fight it. ( )
