In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware

In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware was a decent book, in my opinion.  It was a little predictable, but still enjoyable for the most part.  The character Claire reminded me of Darcy from Something Borrowed.  They were both the beautiful, manipulative female who always gets what she wants character.  That was a bit cliche, but I see why the author did it that way.  I added In a Dark, Dark Wood to my must read list because I found it on the same list of the most suspenseful books as The Fear Index.  I wouldn't say that this book was super suspenseful, but it was definitely more so than The Fear Index.  I wasn't sitting on the edge of my seat, but it had the usual standards for suspense... a house in the middle of the woods with a lot of windows, no cell phone reception, darkness, footprints, ouija board, a door swinging open and shut in the wind, and a crazy person.  Overall, it was enjoyable enough.  I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
