Synopsis: 'Vega Jane has never left the village of Wormwood. But this isn't unusual - nobody has ever left the village of Wormwood. At least not until Quintin Herms vanishes into the unknown.
Vega knows Quentin didn't just leave - he was chased. And he's left behind a very dangerous trail of clues that only she can decode.
The Quag is a dark forest filled with terrifying beasts and bloodthirsty Outliers. But just as deadly are the threats that exist within the walls of Wormwood. It is a place built on lies, where influential people are willing to kill to keep their secrets. Vega is determined to uncover the truth - but the closer she gets, the more she risks her life.'

Review: This saga is really intriguing - don't start a new chapter when you're getting ready to go to bed. Good characters, interesting story line, and there's a dog.

This series is okay…a bit pedantic writing. Will only get the final 2 books if at used book store ( )

I usually enjoy Baldacci's books. At one point, I wrote down the titles I hadn't read from a list. This was a series I hadn't heard of prior to that list.

It's apparently Baldacci's attempt at fantasy (young adult fantasy).

It was a DNF for me and I don't plan to read the rest of the series. ( )

Quit

4.5 stars, actually! I enjoyed this book very much and am looking forward to the next one....there you go. I anticipate a sequel!

David Baldacci is one of the few grown-up authors that I like. His stuff starts off a little slow, but his characters are full and complex. I can not even guess what is going to happen in this series, which is also fun.

Thanks to my son for recommending this one! ( )
