The Woods Are Always Watching by Stephanie Perkins is a real deal thriller. Neena and Josie only had each other in high school. They are best friends till the end. Ride or die. But now highschool is over and they are going to miss each other so much when Neena leaves for college – two-thousand miles away! They plan one last hoorah: a three day hike through the Appalachian mountains. It is their first camping trip so they over prepare for anything that could possibly happen. The only thing they failed to prepare for is the other people who will also be on the same trail. This book is a slow start, setting up the characters and building up to a gory horror story that would make any adult cringe. Touted as a young adult read, I can only imagine the way this book will scare off young people from camping/hiking trips. I know I will sleep better tonight, in my home, in my bed, gripping my pillow tight!
