The Thicket: A Thriller

From the USA Today bestselling author of ASK FOR ANDREA and GRAY AFTER DARK:
Everyone will hear you scream. No one will listen.
Norah can't stop thinking about the night her brother died.
She was supposed to stay with him at the Halloween carnival. He'd begged her to stay. But they'd fought, and Norah left him alone in the woods. That was before she realized there was a real killer lurking among the costumes and macabre props.
When the carnival reopens just weeks later amid a media controversy, Norah decides to retrace her brother's last steps in a desperate attempt to unravel what really happened that night. But the woods hold more than just traumatic memories.
Before long, Norah begins to suspect that the killer's choice of hunting ground was no coincidence. And that this nightmare is far from over.

4.5 stars! There were some parts that were predictable, but I loved the pacing of this and I very much enjoyed the overall story. It was the perfect ambiance for the fall, and I was on the edge of my seat nearly the entire time. Noelle Ihli is one of my favorites, and this book did not disappoint!
Not my favorite of Noelle's books. I wanted it to end multiple times and considered a DNF. The storyline was there, but this one just didn't feel as good as the rest of her books. Overall, because of the writing quality, a 3.
I enjoyed the insight into the killers mind. It kept me wondering what was going on. At times I found myslef wondering until it all came together. The ending was good, but I would almost like another to see what happens to the thicket or if they all return.
Decent slasher that switches POVs through out. The setup and setting are both done well. The ending feels a bit rushed, and feels like a setup for a sequel more than an ending.
“The Thicket” is a very fun novel, one that is great for someone wanting to dip their toes into the horror and thriller genres. For those who have experience within the genres, I can see how this novel doesn’t provide anything new, but does a good job at keeping a solid pace and is gory enough to make new readers wiggle. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the novel, feeling right at home to read during the Halloween season. I genuinely enjoyed reading this novel, and am very curious to see what else Ihli has to offer.
