I was so excited to start spooky month but unfortunately, this wasn't the book to properly head into the spooky season. While [b:There's Someone Inside Your House|15797848|There's Someone Inside Your House|Stephanie Perkins|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1493650191l/15797848._SY75_.jpg|21520760] wasn't my cup of tea, I was ready to give Perkins another chance. But this book was a bore. Nothing happened during the first half of it, the girls were just hiking and bickering and whining about their situation. Nothing spooky or creepy happened. Then, suddenly, things took a turn into the unbelievable. Josie lost both a foot and a hand, but she was able to walk/limp through the woods. The murders were guys with weird backstories (which were randomly told through like some sort of supernatural touch or something? I didn't understand it). Yet their motives were never explained. They were just... there and killed people. And then there was this open end... The girls had no real character and were rather flat. I didn't care about them, so it was hard to sympathize with them. It took me nearly ten days to finish this short book just because I didn't want to pick it up after nothing happened during the first half. Finished the rest of it on one single evening though.
