Description from Goodreads
Amid the sweet sounds of a music box, their darkest fears will haunt them…
In Black River, Tennessee, everyone knows the legend of the Bell Witch… and the alleged curse that hangs like a dark shroud over the town. To some, it is just a local tall tale. But to others, it is terrifyingly real.
For centuries, four families have been forced into the ritualistic tradition of sacrifice and terror. Every year, a member of each family stumbles upon an antique music box they need to lock before the time is up. And a horrible fate awaits them once the boxes open.
Trapped in the witch’s sadistic game, the families’ young offspring are forced to journey into the dark and twisted woods of Black River in search for the keys to their salvation. But as they search for a way to end the curse, a haunting melody echoes through the trees. And each lost soul must wonder…
Will they survive the night? Or will the Bell Witch’s bloody harvest claim more victims?
My Thoughts on the Book
The Harvest was a fast paced read, with Hunger Games and The Blair Witch Project-vibes to it. Fair enough, it's inspired by The Bell Witch legends with a few alterations, but it's still a fun read, I think. Also, the characters were well developed, abeit in some cases a bit annoying, but as they were so different from each other, it made the dynamics even more interesting. An added bonus was Buck the Rottweiler, as I love that dog breed.
The ending was a little bit rushed, but as it's a series, I look forward to reading the rest some time.
