Product Description
It's not just the house that's keeping secrets.
Pretending everything's all right is harder than it sounds. But the Kings know that even if they told the truth about the bizarre things happening in their house, no one would believe them. They're hyper-focused on rescuing their lost family member before anyone finds out what's going on.
But when a stranger shows up to take their house, their options start dwindling fast. Why would he be so interested in a run-down old place? And what secret is he hiding--just as he hides the scars that crisscross his body?
The mystery gets stranger with each passing day. Will the Kings be able to find a way to harness the house's secrets and discover who is watching their every move before another gets snatched into an unknown world?
My Review:
Watcher in the Woods is the continuing story of the King family.
David King, 12-years-old is facing huge traumas while attempting to keep the outside world from destroying his chance of happiness.
Grasping hold of the King family legacy of bravery, David dives into the unknown to save his family at great cost to himself.
From the first word to the final "not the end" I cheered and cringed for the Kings.
I hope the next book releases very soon. This is book two in the series I'm going to recommend regardless of age or gender. I'd also love to see it turned into a movie.
Easily frightened readers might struggle with the intensity, otherwise, this is a powerful story well told.
