Salvation Creek. It has been the source of stories and speculations about missing persons, specifically young women, for decades. It would not be my first choice of where to go camping, but for five friends it sounded like the perfect place to get away, make out, swap secrets, and escape their parents.
You know the drill…5 went into the woods…. only 4 made it out!
What is unique about this book is that it is told through interview/police interview format. Readers do not see the interviewers’ questions but the teens being interviewed give their responses. This worked very well. We get to know each teen through their interviews which show each’s recollections of what happened, their thoughts about each other, even their suspicions.
Big kudos for such a unique way of telling the story. I found this to be very well done. This was a fun and entertaining YA mystery.
Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Fire, Sourcebooks Fire and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
