In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware is a haunting story following a young woman named Nora. After a traumatic event happened when she was in her apartment alone one night, she is invited to a bachelorette party for an old classmate. Nora had not spoken to this woman for many years, but was looking forward to a weekend in a beautiful cabin in the woods. She is greeted with warm smiles and a promising weekend. Then, she wakes up, injured and in the hospital, wondering what happened over the weekend. Ruth Ware writes this chilling tale to keep you on your feet and haunt your dreams. Although scary and frightening, this story analyzes the secrets of our past, and reminds us why we bury parts of our past so deeply.
