Locals talk of superstitions, legends, and a devil that steals souls. Wooden crosses, staked in the frozen ground, cordon off the woods to keep what’s in there from coming out. Most troubling, no one can explain exactly what happened to Danny.As Paul searches for answers, the true horrors of Dread’s Hand close in around him. The most chilling mystery of all may be how to get out of there alive.

"*Actual rating- ⭐⭐⭐.5. (This was one of my book club's picks.) I must preface this review by saying that I do apologize that it won't be too "in-depth" because not only did I finish this book about a month ago, I've also finished a few other books since then and my memory is a little hazy on the details or what most of my thoughts were on it by now. Not to mention- my summer has gotten far more busy and eventful than I anticipated it would be so it hasn't left me much time to read, no less keep decent notes on what I do read. 🥴😬🤷🏻‍♀️ I debated on how to rate this one for a while; I went back and forth between ⭐⭐⭐.5 and ⭐⭐⭐⭐. I enjoyed this book; the writing was well done- in my opinion, the story kept me engaged and interested, the characters didn't feel too flat- though, I didn't much connect with them as much as I would have liked. It was fun to recognize a couple of the locations mentioned in the book. The only "negative" thing(s) I really have to say and without giving anything away, is that I would have liked just a little more. More information or background on some things and the ending- although still good, felt a little anti-climactic for me personally. I was left thinking, "WTF just happened!?" And in it's own right, is a good thing in most ways."
