Publisher's Summary

A gripping horror thriller that will leave you wanting more. Start listening to the first book in this dark and captivating re-imagined series of the classic story of Hansel and Gretel.  

There is an ancient evil in the Back Country, dormant for centuries but now hungry and lurking.  

When it sets its sights on an unsuspecting mother one routine morning along an isolated stretch of highway, a quiet farming family is suddenly thrust into a world of unspeakable terror, and young Gretel must learn to be a hero.

Predictable

Despite a few plot twists, the story was a bit predictable. Neither boring nor enthralling.

Great update to the original!

I loved the weaving and intricate pattern of the story... it was nostalgic while being new and modern, all in the same tale. Can't wait to listen to the next in the series!

The story is a great updatinf

This story starts a little slow, but once it's established, the characters are sympathetic, and the story drives toward the conclusion. I definitely recommend this book. Looking forward to continuing the series.

I struggled to get into this story- I think it finally got me when there was only 4 hrs left of it. The ending was long coming but it finally started to get interesting. I was definitely surprised when the villains and heroins were revealed
