The Ruins by Scott Smith. I just started reading it, after my mom suggested it to me, and it's like
whoa really good :cheese:
It's about these four college students who go on a vacation to Mexico. They meet a German man and decide to help find his missing brother who hasn't come back from these Mayan ruins. Only when they get there, the Mayan locals come chasing after them, trapping them there, making sure they don't leave. They're forced to go up to the ruins and stay there, only there's this thick vine that's growing throughout the entire place, and it turns out the vine is like a living thing; it can make its own sounds by mimicking noises, and it feeds off of flesh like a cannibal, growing inside of people's bodies.
I usually don't think horror books are very scary (I usually need a visual, like a picture or a movie, books don't scare me), but this story is pretty creepy, and I want to keep reading it and reading it, just to see what happens next; I can't put it down sometimes. It's
sooo good.
