Elijah has lived in the Memory Wood for as long as he can remember. It’s the only home he’s ever known.

Elissa has only just arrived. And she’ll do everything she can to escape.

When Elijah stumbles across thirteen-year-old Elissa, in the woods where her abductor is hiding her, he refuses to alert the police. Because in his twelve years, Elijah has never had a proper friend.

And he doesn’t want Elissa to leave.

Besides, Elijah knows how this can end. After all, Elissa isn’t the first girl he’s found inside the Memory Wood.

As her abductor’s behaviour grows more erratic, chess prodigy Elissa realises that outwitting strange, lonely Elijah is her only hope of survival.

My Thoughts:

Elijah comes across a young girl in the woods, where she has been kidnapped. But Elijah wants a friend and to have this new friend he must keep quiet about her. But this is not his first time in this woods, what happened to the girl before this girl? Sam is a new author to me, this was a creepy, tense story. There are plenty of twists and turns throughout, some of them made me jump. It was a very icy and chilling story but a few things did not make sense to me.
