MY REVIEW

I used to go camping all the time. Couldn’t wait to rough it and just escape from the rat race for awhile. And I can relate to being scared of what’s out there, lurking in the dark, just beyond the fire’s light. My friend and I were camping and telling scary stories one night. Just enough light from the fire to see each other’s faces. We heard a rustling in the bushes. Getting closer. Closer. And just when we thought about running, out popped her brother.  Remembering that terror. How strong it felt. It made me so excited to read this book.

The series has a different setting for each book and a campground is what we get in these pages. An old one close to some unusual mounds. When Josh and Allison, along with their kids, decide to fix up and reopen the place, they have no idea how dangerous it is. What they will be disturbing.

The author does a great job of scaring me without having bloody mayhem all the time. But this time there’s a high body county. I feared for this family. They were so hopeful and now so helpless. Ellie and Stacy were hired to come help them and I feared for them too.

I loved this book. Even the research Ellie and Stacy did to find out what might be happening at the campground was fascinating. Made it seem so real to me. And the back and forth between the two of them always makes me laugh. Yin to yang, those two. As long as the author keeps writing this series, I’ll be there, waiting for more.

5 STARS

Synopsis

The old campground in the mountains has a shrouded history wrapped in legend. Located by the mysterious mounds of a vanished people, it was once a popular summer destination for children, but closed long ago under tragic circumstances.

Josh and Allison Conner have moved out from the city, inspired to create a retreat for children in need, a place to build skills and character. They’ve brought their own children with them, and now they’re hurrying to rebuild and update the old camp in time for their first opening day.

But something lurks in the wilderness around the old summer camp, something that strikes against the Conners’ best efforts to revitalize it. They feel watched, then threatened, but after sinking their savings and their hopes into the place, they are unwilling to walk away.

Paranormal investigator Ellie Jordan must sort history from legend to determine what haunts the camp and how to fight it, before it inflicts more harm on the well-meaning family attempting to bring life back to the remote abandoned campground.
