But once we hit that moment, when the first body is finally found, from that moment on, things are just intense!!

It made the pacing in between those moments a little slower and it might have dragged a bit as other points were being expanded upon. I was thinking that at any moment the scary parts were about to happen, but in reality that turning point didn’t really come about until we were nearly 2/3 into the story. I’ll admit that the pacing was a tad slower than I had anticipated based on its length.

One that led you to wonder if there was more to the story than its teller was letting on. There were a total of three stories and it was the last one that was the most chilling. They weren’t common stories, at least not to my knowledge, and they were pretty eerie if not out and out scary. One thing I really liked about this book was how we got to see the campfire stories as their own chapters. They have a super cute guide for the woods, they have horseback riding adventures, telling scary stories around the fire, and a few typical family squabbles, but all is pretty much perfect…until it’s not! It’s the summer before her brother is off to college, so the family has planned a great weeklong camping trip with their family and friends. The story starts off simply, after a tragic accident that took Maddie’s mother’s life five years ago, she’s managed to move past that terrible day. Shawn Sarles’ debut Campfire just screamed perfect read for me! I looove a good thriller and this one was as twisted and chilling as I anticipated! Add in a few surprises that I wasn’t expecting and you have the makings of one GREAT read! My review is completely honest and voluntary, I was in no way compensated for this review. I received this ARC in a fair trade with another blogger. More horrifying stories told that night-and Maddie's about to find out Out-being stalked by their worst nightmares.
