What Waits in the Shadows by Wil Forbis - 289 pages

How long can horrifying secrets stay buried? Twenty years after watching her father's brutal murder, Lisa Kallman is on the verge of a dream life. Her father's killer is in prison, she has a job helping children who've suffered like her and she's about to be married.

But Lisa can't escape the foreboding dread that tells her danger is around the corner. And when she begins hearing strange voices and people around her vanish, she wonders if her own memories can be trusted.

Is Lisa going mad, or is something evil and inhuman stalking her?

This book was just ok. I kept reading it b/c I was curious about the monster that killed Lisa's father.  Boy was I disappointed when I got to the part that explained it; it was eye roll after eye roll.  The ending was pretty silly, how the monster gets disposed of was such a disappointment.  The author also wrote about there being thunder and a lot of lightning, spiderwebbing lightning, but somehow there is also plenty of moonlight to see in a pitch black house? Then shortly after Lisa remarks about it being a clear night.  Overall, it was just "meh".
