I’m torn on how I feel about this one. It was incredibly atmospheric and creepy - sinister even. Taking place in a wild and off the grid town/rural area where local lore of The Birds righting wrongs and keeping bad people away. 

Three time periods - 2009 - with a group of teenagers, some visiting, some local and some part of an uber rich family who summer near this beautiful ocean front location. What starts as a friendship turns into something dark and ugly and dangerous games begin to unfurl into the ultimate evil. 

And the last two time periods are in the present - one just before the summer solstice and one the very next say , in the aftermath of the incident. Important as these once children - now adults - have returned to these sacred woods - one to open a luxury get away for the 1% and destroy the land around it in order to take more and more control. Another to right wrongs of the past. And others who are hiding in plain sight ready to take revenge on those who have dared desecrate their home. 

This one kept me guessing - but felt a bit jumbled and complicated at times. I did love how she tied everyone together but it felt a bit hard to follow at times. Overall a very entertaining read.
