The Silent Forest by David Duane Kummer
My score: 4 of 5 stars
The Silent Forest is guide two of The Home On The Hill gothic horror trilogy.
The story continues within the small American city of New Haven. After a younger newly-wed goes lacking at an mysterious, previous home, finest buddy Kaia believes she will discover her.
In the meantime, the Woods family has opened its residence to a wierd boy discovered wandering on the street. He seems innocent, however secrets and techniques encompass him.
Lacking folks, darkish occurrences and growing concern all result in the Home On The Hill. How can one derelict constructing have such a maintain over a city and its inhabitants?
This Gothic model story in its fashionable setting is simply edgy sufficient for many who want a milder model of horror with out it being too grim. Nonetheless, don’t assume that this can be a cosy story; it has all of the chills to depart a very creepy really feel. I like to recommend studying these books so as. The strain actually builds and I can solely start to think about the place the creator will take the storyline in guide three.
