When successful entrepreneur Nick Alexander visits his reclusive grandfather's remote Georgia property, he's hoping to convince the old man to sell nearly a thousand acres for millions. What should be a simple family discussion becomes a nightmare when Nick and his girlfriend Amiya discover they're not alone in these primeval woods.

Hidden deep within the forest lies a dark secret that has festered for generations—a place where people vanish without a trace, where terrified voices whisper about an entity known only as "The Overseer," and where strange marks branded into flesh hold a power that defies explanation.

As darkness falls, Nick realizes his grandfather has been keeping deadly secrets. The land that's been in their family for over a century harbors something evil, something that feeds on suffering and traps souls in an endless cycle of torment.

Now, with Amiya captured and innocent people imprisoned in unimaginable conditions, Nick must confront a horrifying family legacy. Some burdens pass from father to son. Some curses demand blood. And in these backwoods, the sins of the past are very much alive.

From bestselling author Brandon Massey comes a chilling tale of family secrets, supernatural horror, and the price of breaking generational chains.

Awesome Thriller

Brandon Massey has done it again. Backwoods was my first experience reading one of his horror-leaning novels, and it exceeded every expectation. The story centers on Westbrook, the secluded family estate of Nick, where his grandfather still resides. Pressured by questionable business dealings and eager to cut ties, Nick returns home with his girlfriend, Amiya, hoping to persuade his grandfather to sell the property. What begins as a simple visit quickly unravels into something far darker, as the couple discovers that nothing at Westbrook is quite what it seems.

Massey masterfully builds suspense, offering twist after twist that keeps the pages turning and the tension high. Backwoods is the kind of story that keeps you guessing until the very end—and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire way.

I liked the story and the Macon Ga location not far from myself, looking forward to more from the author.

The Characters and location

Was a decent enough listen. Didn’t do any one thing particularly well. Felt like it was a story that cut off half way through.

Did nothing spectacular

This was a decent listen. The main male character will absolutely annoy you. I left this one wishing it had gone deeper but it didn’t. It was enough to keep me entertained but I think as the latest from this author, I was excited for more than the book ultimately delivered.
