The Ghost Tree
By Christina HenryPublisher Description
When people go missing in the sleepy town of Smith’s Hollow, the only clue to their fate comes when a teenager starts having terrifying visions, in a chilling horror novel from national bestselling author Christina Henry.
When the bodies of two girls are found torn apart in the town of Smiths Hollow, Lauren is surprised, but she also expects that the police won't find the killer. After all, the year before her father's body was found with his heart missing, and since then everyone has moved on. Even her best friend, Miranda, has become more interested in boys than in spending time at the old ghost tree, the way they used to when they were kids.
So when Lauren has a vision of a monster dragging the remains of the girls through the woods, she knows she can't just do nothing. Not like the rest of her town. But as she draws closer to answers, she realizes that the foundation of her seemingly normal town might be rotten at the center. And that if nobody else stands for the missing, she will.

“This book had me wishing I could read longer then what I was able to.
Imagine living in a town so small and not realizing that it is technically shrinking as the years go on?
This is a great mix of horror, thriller and a little witchy/paranormal aspects.”

“This book was so good! I happened to find this book while looking for a different book by Henry, and I'm glad I did. I figured out the mystery pretty early on, but that did not take away from the suspense or ending at all, as certain little twists had me second guessing myself. I highly suggest this one of you like witches, curses and monsters all rolled into one.”
