Title: The Watchers
By: A.M Shine
Synopsis: "You can't see them. But they can see you. This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the Watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time. Afraid and trapped among strangers, Mina is desperate for answers. Who are the Watchers and why are these creatures keeping them imprisoned, keen to watch their every move?" Good Reads

Review
The Watchers was a fantastic and absolutely terrifying read! We follow Mina as she is gets lost in uncharted woods, and soon she discovers that once night falls, you aren't alone, and the creatures out there are both intelligent and vicious.
This book had me at the edge of my seat, and if you like folk horror, books that make you feel claustrophobic and keep you up at night, then this is the story for you!
That ending sure was something, and I hope there is a second one in the works!
