In a Dark, Dark Wood/ Ruth Ware/ 310 pgs

Ruth Ware's books are hit or miss for me. Though it's an older title, In a Dark, Dark Wood was mostly a hit for me. Nora is an author herself, but also a loner. Out of the blue, she receives an invitation to an old friend's hen (bachelorette) party. A friend she hasn't spoken to in 10 years. Another friend also receives the same invite and reluctantly the two agree to go. The party is being held at a house deep in the woods and things seem off to Nora from the start but it gets really twisted when she realizes the bride, her old friend Clare, is set to marry Nora's former love, James. The story takes off from there. While there were definitely parts of this book that were hard to believe, it grabbed my attention and kept me hooked until the end.
