Where He Can't Find You

From USA Today bestselling horror/thriller author Darcy Coates comes the chilling legend of a monster no one can escape.

DON'T WALK ALONE, OR THE STITCHER WILL FIND YOU.

Abby Ward lives in a town haunted by disappearances. People vanish, and when they're found, their bodies have been dismembered and sewn back together in unnatural ways. But is it the work of a human killer...or something far darker?

DON'T STAY OUT LATE, OR THE STITCHER WILL TAKE YOU.

She and her younger sister live by a strict set of rules designed to keep them safe--which is why it's such a shock when Hope is taken. Desperate to get her back, Abby tells the police everything she knows, but they claim their hands are tied.

DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES, OR THE STITCHER WILL REMAKE YOU.

With every hour precious, Abby and her friends are caught in a desperate game of cat and mouse. They have to get Hope back. Quickly. Before too much of her is cut away. And before everything they care about is swallowed up by the darkness waiting in the tunnels beneath the home they thought they knew.

**Book Review: *Where He Can't Find You* by Darcy Coates**
⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 stars)

*Where He Can’t Find You* by Darcy Coates is a captivating read, though it does have a slow start. In the beginning, I found myself asking, "What is the narrator talking about?" It felt like I was wading through a fog, unsure of where the story was heading. However, once everything started to come together, I was completely hooked.

The dynamic between the characters is one of the highlights of the book. I really enjoyed the tight-knit friendship group, especially the bond between the sisters. Their connection felt authentic, and their relationship added an emotional layer to the plot that I really appreciated. It made the stakes feel higher and more personal when the story took some darker turns.

The adults in the story are another intriguing aspect—many of them seem very checked out, leaving the teens to fend for themselves in a world that feels unfairly burdensome. The pressure put on the younger characters is palpable, and it’s clear that they’re facing challenges that no one really seems to understand or acknowledge. This added a sense of isolation to the story, making me root for the teens even more as they tried to navigate their complicated lives.

Once the plot picked up, I couldn’t stop listening. I ended up listening to the rest of the book while working, as it became one of those stories where I just had to know what happened next. The suspense was intense, and the twists and turns kept me eagerly turning (or listening) until the very end.

Overall, *Where He Can’t Find You* is another solid entry from Darcy Coates. While the beginning took some patience, once the story got going, it was an engaging, emotional ride that I didn’t want to end. I’m definitely looking forward to more from Coates in the future!

This gave me Animorphs or Stranger Things vibes. I also didn’t realize it was listed as YA until I went to review it lol. Darcy Coates is a pretty consistent 3 star read for me, BUT this is my favorite 3 star read from her. So, maybe I’ll bump it to 3.5 or 7/10 on here. Not bad.
