They see something completely alien where ANYTHING can happen.<br /><br />LOL, there are such woods, indeed.

Instead of running across town to save each other they could just text lol<br /><br />Of course, a lot of the tech now is scary too and doesn't always work (like when I'm hiking in the scary isolated woods).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fwiwreviews.net" rel="nofollow">Karen @ For What It's worth</a>Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381281230448720689.post-21648711124617451892019-11-02T09:16:58.413+01:002019-11-02T09:16:58.413+01:00I know!

I already knew from your blog that you read classic mysteries too - it's nice to find a kindred spirit!<br /><br />I hope you'll pick this one up eventually!Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381281230448720689.post-24526876881499884472019-11-01T21:36:25.571+01:002019-11-01T21:36:25.571+01:00I agree about the technology- I like reading stori...I agree about the technology- I like reading stories (especially mysteries/ thrillers) set in a time before cell phones etc were ubiquitous. It just adds something. And ooh the cult/ supernatural elements sound pretty awesome and spooky. I should maybe check this one out. I love the idea of them finding a body but the person is leaving them messages. Creepy!

There are stories that just can't be told anymore, or you have to conveniently set them in some post-apocalyptic future where we have lost all our fancy apps and stuff LOL.Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381281230448720689.post-61659842903389820502019-11-01T00:05:24.169+01:002019-11-01T00:05:24.169+01:00Some truth to your ideas about technology.

"Oh, where is she? Hey, I have an app for that." <-- where's the fun in that? Unlikable characters are ok for me, if, like in this case, the plot is so well done. Glad this was such a stellar read for you. Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.com
