A History of Wild Places

emily_elmendorf shared a tip "Reminded me of M. Night Shyamalan’s movie the Village a bit and I loved it. Very atmospheric and cultish. I read through it very quickly and enjoyed every second!"

sarrah_urbahn shared a tip "This book was ok. I did like it but didn’t love it. The twist at the end was pretty well done. I also enjoyed the story being told from 3 different points of view."

tim_dockens shared a tip "This was extremely hard to get through. There is a large portion of the book that is a direct ripoff of The Village. Once you notice it you cant unsee it, and it destroys the story. As soon as I had enough with the similarities I was ready to put it down. There is a lot of similarities!"

merry_4015 shared a tip "I loved this book! I couldn’t put it down. The story is imaginative and written beautifully. The characters draw the reader into their innermost thoughts in this suspenseful, engrossing tale."

jess_cook_6130 shared a tip "I really enjoyed the refreshing uniqueness the world of this book brings you to! Incredible twists and turns that keep you sucked in until the end!"

kris_8246 shared a tip "So suspenseful and has a world that just pulls you in to escape to…I could not put it down. Very haunting yet written in a light way. Romance, mystery, and drama. Lots of cliffhangers and unknowns, but everything is pulled together in a delightful way."

christin_2708 shared a tip "Twists and turns. Excellent writing. I love when a good story with little details comes together perfectly. I couldn’t put it down!!"

allymariee shared a tip "At first I was unsure how I felt about this book. I put it down a few times and kept picking it back up. The last half of the book I couldn't put it down. It was a slow burn. A story I didn't know I needed I'm so glad I picked it back up."

brittni_snyder shared a tip "This is in my top 3 for 2021. A History of Wild Places read beautifully. It was unique and like nothing I'd read before. It's sad, twisty, a little confusing, and so well written. I love reading about cults and other interesting experiences and this was a fictional version of that. Pastoral is well developed and all of the questions I had while reading the book were answered by the end - I love when authors tie up all of the loose strings. I couldn't put it down!"

tamara_nichols_8388 shared a tip "A bit like the village without the disappointment of the twist. Only a little eye rolly. The build to the denouement is built on interesting characters and the promise of something otherworldly."

kk_3872 shared a tip "Gotta be honest, I was a little confused going in but this was well worth the read. Bit slow starting off; that’s my fault for not comprehending the plot beforehand. Def bingeable in one sitting"

heather_strider_3324 shared a tip "Amazing book from start to finish. Some books are fairly predictable and this one was not. A fantastic read! Plot twists, romance, and betrayal. Definitely recommend!"

sariexyz shared a tip "Was apprehensive to read after how poorly I felt about Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw. I think Shea Ernshaw needs to leave the YA writing and continue on with this style. This novel was absolutely thrilling, rich and so much more than I anticipated."
