The Hanging Tree

There’s a particular kind of dread that settles in when a story circles around a body hanging from a tree, and Jessica leans into that mood with precision. Jessica builds that eerie, small‑village tension beautifully, and I loved the connection to The Darkness Within — it adds a deeper, more unsettling layer to the mystery. The secrets unravel at just the right pace, keeping the atmosphere thick and the pages turning. A solid, satisfying, creepy read from one of my fav authors!
