About this audiobook

Doctor Sleep meets Sharp Objects in a riveting debut novel from social media star D.G. Woods that masterfully blends the dark fantasy with the haunting allure of Appalachian folklore, unraveling mysterious disappearances, buried small-town secrets, and the chilling mysteries of West Virginia’s shadowy wilderness.

Nellie, a twenty-three-year-old college dropout, is scrambling to rebuild her life two years after her boyfriend went missing. Now at a standstill, she’s preparing to move back in with her mother, a prospect that fills her with dread. When two strangers approach her, claiming their sister vanished under similar circumstances, Nellie grasps a last connection to the love she once knew and a chance to find answers. She joins their search, following a fragile trail of clues into the heart of the Appalachian wilderness.

The further these desperate allies venture, the more the lines between reality and the unexplainable blur. The same shadows that stalked those before them now track their every step. The woods are hungry, and this time, Nellie could be next.

As they become entangled in generations of buried small-town secrets, Nellie questions whether they are closing in on the truth or being lured deeper into the dark.

wow. I absolutely enjoyed reading/listening to this book. It is full of twists and turns. Has a great storyline and a plot twist. The book will keep you guessing. What is going on in Black Water? Why do people keep going missing at Black Water? If you love a good thriller, mystery, page turner; then this book is definitely for you. I absolutely loved this book and I absolutely recommend it.

About the author

D.G. Woods has been haunted by nightmares and sleep paralysis since childhood. But instead of letting her demons take dominion, she’s turned the tables, baring her fangs and reshaping them into stories that she describes as “dark and just real enough to make you question reality.” D.G. aims to make readers wonder what really dwells in the dark. When she’s not hounding her monsters or turning their antics into stories, she can be found hiding in the woods somewhere on the East Coast with her family, making spooky photos and videos. Oh, and devouring souls—for research.
