Synopsis

In the vine-twisted swamps of Louisiana, the shadows have teeth.
Jack Winter has spent his entire life running from something no one else can see. His childhood is his darkest secret, but after a near fatal accident along a deserted road, the darkness he was sure he’d escaped rears its ugly head… and smiles. But this time, he isn’t the only one who sees the soulless eyes of his past. This time, his six-year-old daughter Charlie leans into his ear and whispers: Daddy, I saw it too.

And then she begins to change. Faced with reliving the nightmares of his childhood, Jack watches his daughter spiral into the shadows that had nearly consumed him twenty years before. But Charlie isn’t the only one who’s changing. Jack never outran the darkness. It’s been with him all along. And it’s hungrier than ever.

Review

Trigger warnings: Cat death, dog death, child death, gore

Well, I’m going to have nightmares for days now….
It takes a lot for a book to genuinely scare me, and Seed unnerved me to the point I didn’t want my husband to go to bed and leave me alone.

Seriously. I read this book in 9 hours because I couldn’t put it down.

It was so good…now excuse me while I turn all the lights in my house on…
