Campfire is a young adult thriller that is super good! The basic story revolves around 16 year old Maddie who is on a camping trip with her best friend, Chelsea. They are out in the woods with handsome guide Caleb, various family members and family friends who have been vacationing together since the kids were tiny. This year is special. Maddie's older brother and his girlfriend will be going off to college and everyone kind of feels like this might be the last time they are all together.
Sitting around the campfire they start telling spooky stories that have everyone feeling uneasy. Next morning, it looks like the stories are coming true!
I couldn't decide if this was a supernatural story or thriller with a great twist--and I'm not going to spoil it for you by telling you here! Campfire is a creepy read with a bit of violence but a really good story with great characters. Debut novel for Shawn Sarles but I'll look forward to his next eagerly.
