I used this because Alexis and her teammates are in the woods at sundown looking for help when they found the body.

I used this because the cops were involved a lot, and were always near the woods or in the woods. They helped find who killed the girl.

I put this because Alexis went to her house a lot. Whenever she would get dropped off by people she would have to get dropped off a few houses down because she was scared of her mom seeing.

I chose this because they are in the car a lot. They drive a lot. Alexis is always in the car with random people for some reason.

I gave it 4/5 because it was good but it took to long to find out who killed the girl. It was boring in the beginning.

Quotes

“A girl on the path you sent us down. And she’s dead.” - pg. 28

This is significant because this is what Ruby said on the radio to bring the police’s and meds down to where they were. When they found the girl they checked her pulse but she was dead.

“It’s him. I saw him on the trail. The guy with the blue duffel bag. He told us he hadn’t seen anybody.” - pg. 123

This is important because they guy they saw in the trail was suspicious, and now he was a suspect.

The author believes that friendship is important. She believes this because Alexis, Ruby, and Nick weren’t friends at first and were just teammates. Because they shared the same trauma and had to spend a lot of time together they ended up all becoming friends. This helped them to work together which helped them to solve the mystery easier. It also showed how being nice to people is an easy way to make friends. It showed this because Ruby and Alexis were not very good friends before because Alexis was mean to Ruby but they became friends when Alexis started being nice to her.

The footprints in the mud helped them to find who did it and what time they killed.

The killer used these to watch the people he was gonna kill next so he knew where they were at what times. These were also used to find clues in the woods.
