Did you ever go to a school camp? If yes, what was the experience like for you? Was it fun?
I actually never got the chance to attend a school camp. I used to hear my friends talk about their camp adventures, but for me, it just never happened. Even so, I’ve always been curious about what those experiences feel like—maybe someday I’ll try something similar on my own.

Is it a tragedy… or a crime?
My Opinion
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore is a medium-paced crime thriller that delves deeply into the complexities of friendship, family dynamics, and the secrets people carry. Much of the story unfolds in and around a summer camp, giving the narrative a nostalgic yet unsettling backdrop. The author moves between different timelines with ease, weaving the past and present together in a way that slowly reveals the truth behind the central mystery. I appreciated the detailed writing style—Liz Moore takes her time building the world, the relationships, and the emotional tension, which made the reading experience immersive. The woods surrounding the camp add an atmospheric touch, creating a sense of isolation and quiet suspense.
Most of the characters were easy to connect with, as their motivations and emotions were clearly laid out. However, Alice and Barbara stood out as more complex and difficult to understand. Their inner conflicts and unpredictable decisions added a layer of intrigue, making me want to know more about their true intentions. The author’s portrayal of their personalities keeps the reader guessing, which works well for a thriller.
Despite all the strong elements, the climax felt rushed compared to the steady buildup throughout the book. After following such a carefully crafted plot, I expected a more layered and sinister revelation at the end. The resolution came too quickly, leaving me wanting a deeper exploration of the events. I would give the book 3 stars.
