""spoilers" (kind of) Let me start by saying this is definitely my favorite book by this author so far. This is one of those amazing YA books that you just can't believe is YA. The villain was deplorable (as he should be) and I loved the other characters. The only reason I'm not giving it a higher rating is part of the ending. Secrets are what got the town in trouble, and yet they decide to keep something a secret at the end. Not smart in my opinion. Otherwise, I'm giving this one a solid 4 stars! "
"Actual rating 4.5 ⭐.
I read this book as a buddy read with a friend. Though I would have agreed anyway, I sort of "double agreed" after knowing a different friend had already read it and really enjoyed it.
I really don't have much to say about this book other than to say that I thought it was really good; it kept me engaged and interested. It had me a little emotional in some spots and in others forgetting to breathe. 😆
My only negative comment- the only thing keeping me from giving this book a full 5 ⭐, is just a few details revolving around the background story; that is to say the "why" or the "how" of what got everything started. It just felt like it had some holes or was lacking some information, but not much. It wasn't enough to ruin it entirely for me. I still very much enjoyed it!"

"I could not put my kobo down for a minute without needing to pick it up to see what happens. The entire time I was on the edge of my seat even when I got to parts I almost couldn’t stomach. This is definitely a great read & one that has opened my eyes to horror/thriller/suspense novels! ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!!!"

"Darcy Coates is the queen of horror in my eyes. This is her first YA and I was so pleased that it was just as scary as many of her other books though it felt completely different than many of her books. <br/><br/>Abby Ward lives in a strange town where people randomly go missing regularly. Because of this the town doesn’t stray out after dark and Abby, her sister, Hope, and her group of friends have strict rules that they follow. The group of friends are dedicated to getting out of the town and learning as much about the mysterious villain they call the Stitcher (as the victims will reappear stitched together wrong with red thread) so they don’t become his (its?) next victim. But when Hope goes missing Abby is desperate to do everything she can to get her back and not have her be the Stitcher's next victim. With the help of her friends and a newcomer to the town she goes after her sister and uncovers just who (or what) the Stitcher is. <br/><br/>While this is such a dark and sad story in a dark and sad town I couldn’t help but love the characters. The group of friends all have unique qualities and personalities and their relationships with each other are heart warming. The townspeople are well written and the villains are absolutely creepy. My favorite part is trying to piece together if this is supernatural or just the work of a serial killer. Without giving anything away I can say there are some downright terrifying scenes. Between the group digging into the town’s history to the action packed scenes I was entertained throughout the whole thing."
