It's 1975 in the Adirondack Mountains, and a girl is missing from her bunk at Camp Emerson. No flashlight. No note. Just gone. The problem? Almost nobody who should have been watching was actually where they were supposed to be.

God of the Woods by Liz Moore drops us into multiple timelines and perspectives from page one — a struggling camp counselor covering her tracks, a twelve-year-old girl who knows more than she's saying, a wealthy family with a devastating secret, and an escaped convict heading north through the woods. We discuss land ownership and old money, the origin of the word "panic," mother-daughter relationships, and the one rule that's going to matter more than anyone realizes: when lost, sit down and yell.

Follow us, tap that 5-star like you’re a f*cking good best friend (and if you get lost, sit down and yell), hit us up on social (IG & TikTok), or at [email protected]
