Rules for Vanishing

In the faux-documentary style of The Blair Witch Project comes the campfire story of a missing girl, a vengeful ghost, and the girl who is determined to find her sister--at all costs.

Once a year, a road appears in the forest. And at the end of it, the ghost of Lucy Gallows beckons. Lucy's game isn't for the faint of heart. If you win, you escape with your life. But if you lose....

Sara's sister disappeared one year ago--and only Sara knows where she is. Becca went to find the ghost of Lucy Gallows and is trapped on the road that leads to her. In the sleepy town of Briar Glen, Lucy's road is nothing more than local lore. But Sara knows it's real, and she's going to find it.

When Sara and her skeptical friends meet in the forest to search for Becca, the mysterious road unfurls before them. All they have to do is walk down it. But the path to Lucy is not of this world, and it has its own rules. Every mistake summons new horrors. Vengeful spirits and broken, angry creatures are waiting for them to slip, and no one is guaranteed safe passage. The only certainty is this: the road has a toll and it will be paid.

Sara knows that if she steps onto the road, she might not come back. But Becca needs her.

And Lucy is waiting.

A paranormal mystery novel with some good twists and good set pieces. Had some truly horrific scenes (not gory) and told in dynamic way in the form off interviews, text messages and going back and forth in time in the narrative. Highly recommend to others looking for some scary atmosphere and good mystery.

I couldn't make myself finish. I hated every second of this.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I want more.

Mostly I want to know who collected the evidence and for whom.

A lot of reviews said the ending was confusing but I didn't find that. I do think it left an opportunity for more, around some of the secondary characters, but I felt it was fairly clear otherwise.

I'm trying to be better at writing reviews. I'm not very good at this.
