Review: The Swamps by Seraphina Nova Glass

Some disappearances are tragedies. Others are warnings.

Macy and Ethan built their careers chasing the unknown, turning their YouTube channel, Ghost Patrol, into a viral sensation as they investigated the paranormal. But when they venture into the murky depths of the Louisiana bayou to investigate the disappearances of Emily Tremblay and Elizabeth Brockton alongside team members Tasha and Max, their latest case takes a lethal turn.

What begins as a routine hunt for answers quickly spirals into something far more sinister. Shadows move where they shouldn't. Secrets surface where none should exist. And when Macy stumbles upon a horrifying truth, she realizes they were never just hunting a story; they were lured here for a reason. As the swamp closes in and the line between hunter and hunted blurs, one thing becomes terrifyingly some secrets are better left buried.

What I thought about The Swamps 

 In this novella / short story, a team of ghost hunters decide to take on the disappearance of two young women from the southern town. It's creepy from the start and stays that way until the very end. 

Things are bad from the start with a cabin on the swamp that is run by two very strange proprietors.  Even so, the group decides to interview suspects and search for the killer. Things move along quickly, which I liked, although there were some times when I wondered why Macy wasn't asking more questions.  I'm not going to say much more than that, except that I figured out the killer just moments before it is revealed in the story.  

If you are looking for a short story with a little "bite" you might like this one.
