The book opens with a man found wandering on the side of the road. He collapses and tried to talk but the only thing that comes out is an oozing of green grass sludge. What an opening! I was hooked.
In the outback of Australia in the tiny town of Tinanbla there is a deep crater at which a house sits at the base. It is surrounded by an extremely lush garden. After the death of Uncle Jack, Stuart Anderson and his family inherit his seemingly idyllic property. Except its not and the Anderson family is not okay. The Anderson family has arrived in Tinanbla to not only look over the property but to escape some of their own lives.
Their daughter, Jessica is trying to get away from a stalker ex. The son, Lachlan is not happy at all about having to move out the literal middle of nowhere, a place where there is nothing to do and very spotty internet. The parents are escaping the tragedy of a lost child. They arrive to the town only to be met with strife as a local farmer is determined to get his hands on what he believes is some great secret the property holds. All too soon the Anderson family and the local farmer will discover the secrets the property holds, the only question is, who will survive the discoveries made? After all the land belongs to the plants……
I really liked this story! I felt the characters were written well and the pacing was great. The last few chapters is where the action really picks up and I couldn't stop turning the pages. I look forward to more from this author.
