Week 37 Review: The Boy Who Cried Bear

From Goodreads:

In The Boy Who Cried Bear, New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong keeps readers on the edge of their seats while detective Casey Duncan tries to locate the threat before it's too late. . .

Haven's Rock is a well-hidden town surrounded by forest. And it's supposed to be, being that it's a refuge for those who need to disappear. Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton already feel at home in their new town, which reminds them of where they first met in Rockton. And while they know how to navigate the woods and its various dangers, other residents don’t. Which is why people aren't allowed to wander off alone.

When Max, the town's youngest resident—taught to track animals by Eric—fears a bear is stalking a hiking party, alarms are raised. Even stranger, the ten-year-old swears the bear had human eyes. Casey and Eric know the dangers a bear can present, so they're taking it seriously. But odd occurrences are happening all around them, and when a dead body turns up, they're not sure what they're up against.

My Review:
I completely loved reading this book! I love Kelley Armstrong's writing, I love this series and these characters, and I'm so glad that we got this spin off series! There were many developments in this book alongside the current mystery, and I loved ever moment of it! 

Haven's Rock is now up and running, and it's a bit different from Rockton. Like that couples and families are allowed, which is a different dynamic. That a child gets wrapped up into what is going on, yeah, that's a big crisis moment for the town and for Casey and Eric.

There was one twist that I maybe guessed as it was happening, because this is a mystery book, sometimes the simplest answer is not correct and it has to be complicated, was some of the gut reaction I had when it was going on. To be correct was a really good feeling! 

This book continues on the with the plot introduced with the miner neighbours, and yeah, I'm really excited to see what happens on from here! We learned a bit more about what was going on, maybe, but it's unclear, and I can't wait for more! 

This was a fantastic book, and I can't wait for whatever comes next!
