Book 3 in the Detective Alyssa Wyatt series. A gripping storyline with lots of twists and turns and a massive twist at the end that I never saw coming!! Looking forward to the next one!

I got baited by "It was a scene from a horror movie" and I fell for it. Nothing shocked me about this book like the description promised and it fell short for me

Great plot to get yourself lost in. This book has everything. A real fast paced thriller. Will get your heart racing on more than one occasion. Very well written. Highly recommend this book

I loved the first two books in this series, so I was eager to see what was next for Alyssa and her team, unfortunately due to, well, life, I could only get to it now.

This is the third book in the series, but it can easily be read as a standalone. I'd still recommend reading the first two because they're so good!

After finding both her parents dead, Addis and her best friend Emerson were kidnapped. It's a race against time for Alyssa Wyatt and her team to bring them back alive.

Alone in the woods is a fantastic addition to this already addictive series. The story opens with a heart in the mouth beginning and hardly lets up the tension throughout.

Alyssa and her team are still suffering from the aftermath of the last case, which hinders their progress a little looking for the kidnapped teens. The partnership of Alyssa and Cord is still enjoyable to read, even though there's plenty of stain put upon their friendship this time around.

The story is told from Alyssa's point of view, getting a real insight into the police investigation. We also have kidnapped Addis' point of view, woven in, which gave a whole different dimension to the story. I honestly thought I had the killer figured out, but I did not see the ending coming at all, which is rare for me!

I know the next in the series, The Devil's Playground, is out soon, which I'm very much looking forward to!

A deliciously intense and addictive thriller that you won't soon forget ! I highly recommend ! Thanks to Netgalley and Hera for the opportunity to read and review this book ! Opinions are solely my own ! #Netgalley #Hera #AloneInTheWoods

Another great read by Charly Cox.
I love this series. Never a dull moment and always lives up to expectations.
Can’t wait for the 4th in this series.

Another great read from charly cox.
This is book 3 in the detective wyatt series. Being book 3 in a series it certainly didn’t disappoint like some series do.
It was fast paced throughout. I enjoyed it going between the detectives, the missing girls and the murder/kidnappers.
I would definitely recommend this series to anyone. I certainly hope that charly is currently writing book 4.
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this book.

This was not a bad mystery/thriller. I wish I would have read the first 2 books in the Detective Alyssa Wyatt series though just to get more back story on some of the characters. I will probably at some point go back and read the first two books. I enjoyed reading the scenes with Addis and Emerson. I like how they were there for each other through their entire ordeal.

There's plenty of potential and it starts with a bang but the story didn't keep the same pace and level of attention and fell flat.
Not my cup of tea
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Another great read by an author I am enjoying and starting to look out for. So did not see that ending which makes this such a great thriller. If you enjoy a good thriller with a big surprise twist then this and her 1st book could be just what you are looking for.

Just when I thought I ran out of super twisted books to read, I picked up Alone in the woods & it saved the day! A sure shot page turner with a twist I never saw coming! I absolutely love books like these. I was already in love with this atmospheric & compelling series but this book knocked it right out of park. I loved the plot & characters in the book. The book starts with a brutal but engaging chapter that reeled me right in. From there on, turning pages speedily was a given. I thought introducing the perp at the start initially felt like it took out out the suspense but there was a method to madness! The suspense certainly never went away instead amped up with every subsequent chapter. The characters too were written so very well. I absolutely loved this book! Det. Alyssa is my fav new cop on the block! I can't wait to see the next case she & her team work on.

Thank you NetGalley, Hera Books & Charly Cox for an arc!

I read the 2 nd book in the series which I enjoyed and I enjoyed this one too . It started off at a lightning. pace and kept me engrossed from page to page . I really enjoyed the character's and the storyline . A good
Book which I would recommend

This is book three in the series starring protagonist Alyssa Wyatt and it’s just as good as its predecessors.
Addis and her best friend Emerson disappear on the night Addis’s parents are found murdered. The hunt is on to find the girls.
The story is told from the POV of Alyssa and her partner Cord as well as that of the missing girls.
This is the third and makes reference to the previous storylines so I would read in order.
Thanks to Hera books and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Alone in the Woods is a great crime thriller, and though it's the third in a series, you can still enjoy this novel without feeling lost if you haven't read the first two. I really liked Alyssa and the other detectives, so I'm definitely going to go back and read the other books in the series. Alone in the Woods is a thrilling read, and I really cared about what happened to the characters. I didn't see the ending coming at all, and it was SO GOOD. Thanks to NetGalley and Hera Books for giving me the opportunity to read and review an amazing book by a new-to-me author. : )

This is the first book I have read by this author but I wasn’t disappointed at all, it was one hell of a ride with many twists and turns that keep you reading.

If you are looking for a rollercoaster ride book, then get over to Amazon, you won’t be disappointed.

When a telephone call from distressed teenager Addis Kensington to her Aunt is made, authorities are alerted that her Addis’ parents have been murdered. When Alyssa and the rest of her team arrive on the scene, Alyssa is dubious as to why Addis and her friend Emerson Childress seem to have disappeared. Soon enough, it becomes apparent that the teenage girls have in fact been kidnapped, and now the race really is on to save them from a similar fate to Addis’ late parents.

Alyssa is fully aware that time is most certainly of the essence here, so her investigation quickly ramps up with the urgency flowing from the page to the reader. A suspect is quickly identified, however they now face the troubling problem of not being able to locate them.

This book most certainly gets the adrenaline pumping from the start. The storyline is so perfectly constructed, full of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. I really enjoyed the way in which the author told this story, alternating between the perspective of Alyssa and her team, to then getting an insight as to how Addis and Emerson are feeling throughout the whole terrible ordeal, and the ways in which they support one another is beautiful.

Full to the brim of suspense, this book was difficult to part with! The writing style was brilliant, the characters were well developed and realistic, with their emotions really flowing on to the pages and pulling you further in to their story. A truly fantastic read that I would recommend to all.

Dark, gritty and chilling, crime fiction fans better buckle up for the latest Detective Alyssa Wyatt thriller by Charly Cox: Alone in the Woods.

When Alyssa gets a call from frantic teenager Addis that her parents Gabriel and Lydia Kensington were being brutally slain in their opulent mansion in New Mexico, she wastes no time in going to their rescue. Hardened detective Alyssa might have been prepared for the worst, but even she is shocked to the core by what she finds – and what she doesn’t! Even though the Kensingtons have been viciously murdered, their teenage daughter Addis is nowhere to be found. She was meant to be spending the evening with her friend Emerson yet the young teen seems to have vanished off the face of the earth. Alyssa cannot help but be worried about this; Addis’ call made it sound as if the killer was still in the house and had been coming to kill her next. Did the killer get to Addis? Did she manage to make her escape? Or is the killer waiting in the shadows waiting to make their next devastating move?

High in the woods north of Albuquerque in a remote cabin, Addis and Emerson are being held hostage at the mercy of a brutal stranger with a thirst for vengeance…and murder! The girls are in terrible danger and their captor makes it perfectly clear that their lives could be claimed at any second. With nowhere to escape and nobody who knows where they are being held, the chances of them leaving the cabin alive are becoming slimmer and slimmer with each passing second. But what does this stranger want with the girls? Why were the Kensington family targeted? What drove this stranger to kill them so brutally? And what will happen to poor Addis and Emerson?

Alyssa and her partner Cord need to work hard to figure out who killed the Kensingtons and they need to find answers fast because with each passing second, Addis and Emerson are getting closer and closer to their deaths.

Charly Cox is the queen of nerve-twisting and nail-biting crime thrillers and she is on top form with Alone in the Woods. A brilliantly plotted thriller packed with shocks and surprises I didn’t see coming, Alone in the Woods is first class crime fiction jam-packed with heart-pounding danger and spine-chilling suspense that will have you checking for monsters under the bed.

In Alyssa, Charly Cox has created a brilliant heroine who is tough, focused, determined and somebody you would love to have in your corner.

A superb crime thriller from a writer who ups her game with every new release, Charly Cox’s Alone in the Woods is crime fiction at its most addictive.

I’m so sad to say I was not a fan of this book not enough action or suspense, I just wasn’t interested in at all.

Stark. Vivid. Gripping. Charly Cox’s books have the rawness in them along with tiny nuggets of emotions where one catches my head, the other my heart. This was one such book too.

This was the third in the series with Alyssa Wyatt and Cord at the helm of the investigation where brother of District Attorney and his wife were butchered and their 17-year-old girls missing. 2 things had to be done. Find the girls. Find the killer.

Having read the previous books, I should have been more prepared for Charly’s writing, but I wasn’t. It hit me like a ten ton log. There was something so pure, (yes, I am using it for a police procedural) in its tone, so undiluted, that it made me sit up and take notice.

Small words inserted at certain points would either make my imagination run rampant or my throat seize up.

Then there was the investigation with Alyssa which went at its own fast pace with little twists adding to the zing of the story. I liked how my attention was linked solely to the book. The end, as per the norm, was explosive.

A great book that didn’t pull back its punches.
