The Swamps by Seraphina Nova Glass is a highly recommended atmospheric mystery following influencers looking into two missing women in the Louisiana bayou.
Macy and Ethan are investigating the paranormal on their YouTube channel, Ghost Patrol, where Ethan is a believer and Macy counters him as a skeptic. Ethan is sure their look into the mysterious disappearance of two women is sure to get them the views and perhaps seal the Netflix deal they are seeking. Photographers Tasha and Max show up with Max's brother Robert to the rundown cabin they rented on the bayou and they all start their investigation.
Because this is a fast paced, short novel/novella, it quickly sets up the creepy atmosphere and keeps the plot moving while making it sinister almost immediately. The action unfolds through mainly through the point-of-view of Macy and Tasha and there are illustrations included along the way. While the character development meets the minimal requirement and the plot depth and intricacy may be abbreviated, the twisty story moves at a lightning fast speed, which ensures you will be thoroughly satisfied.
The Swamps is an
enjoyable, well-written, entertaining, quick read that will be a great
choice for those who enjoy mysteries mixed with true crime and a little
horror. Thanks to Podium Publishing for providing me with an
advance reader's copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary and
expresses my honest opinion.
