Yes, that is my question! Izzy had so many warnings to NOT go into those woods, why did she persist??? Scary, scary, scary. But this reader thoroughly enjoyed it. The story really picked up about halfway through when all things began happening at once. Dead animals began showing up on Izzy's doorsteps and she became so frightened she was afraid to go to work! Was it the work of some madman? Her old boyfriend? Or the thing in the woods? Don't read this late at night, you'll be looking into the shadows until daybreak! Highly recommended for a good scary read.
