He lives in Philadelphia with a French bulldog and two chatty parrots. Born in western Kentucky, he went to college at Wake Forest University. All in all this was still a decent summertime spooky read, even if it wasn’t all that spooky. Shawn Sarles is the Indie Bestselling Author of Campfire, Mary, Will I Die, and the forthcoming A Pocket Full of Posies. Had the characters had more substance to them, this would have been an even better read. Maddie herself was a very flat character who I really couldn’t see myself rooting for long term. Although I understood why there had to be so many minor characters. There were a lot of characters in the story, Maddie’s family, that I just didn’t feel anything for. The story had a very B-Horror movie vibe too it which would have been made even better had I really felt connected to the characters. I loved that the campfire stories that were told had their own chapters. The story started out a little slow but picked up mid way through. The story follows Maddie Davenport and her big family and Caleb, the swoon worth mountain guide, on a family camping trip to celebrate Maddie’s older brother Charlie graduating high school. While this wasn’t my favorite book ever it also wasn’t my least favorite either. I was super excited when I saw this title making its way around bookstagram and knew I had to give it a shot. I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
