The story: Gabe thinks his adventures with Seth in the woods behind his house are just a game. Little does he know that the evil Hunter is more than just an imaginary enemy. Now both boys are running just to keep a step ahead of this monster from the past: trying to keep themselves, their families, and even their town safe. But the Hunter has more tricks up his sleeve than they ever imagined...

Liz's comments (with spoiler): Poblocki does a good job of ratcheting up the suspense a bit at a time as the kids work to solve the mystery of the Hunter: who he is, and how to fight him. Ain't gonna lie, though--killing off the main character is a pretty extreme move for MS fiction, even if the kid is willing to die to protect his friend.
I was wondering what you think about the very end - when the statue is placed back in David's room and the door left open. Is that David or is the Hunter (Mason) back? Thank you!
