It's been ages since I've read a horror story, and after reading Lake Lopez's Thorn in Dark Places, I feel like I've been missing out all these years. Lake has crafted a creepy story involving a young boy sent to a private school. There, Luke meets Jared and there is something weird about the boy. When deaths start piling up, Luke discovers Jared's weirdness has a darker, murderous side. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to meet the monster of the story and it did not disappoint in its creepiness. How would Luke fight this enemy? That kept the pages turning and I was so scared of Luke being discovered or getting hurt. When you read, you know that good will prevail, but there were times I wasn't sure in this story. That really pumped up the suspense.A great scary tale and I look forward to seeing more from Lake Lopez.
