Fancy seeing you here, gollum...

I enjoyed this. It was tense and creepy. I mainly took away stars because there are a few glaring animal related inaccuracies that really took me out of the story. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys horror though.

I really tried, but the story got lost in the very gory/suffering descriptions... of both people and animals.

Whew, I was warned it was graphic😅🫠 

A group of boy scouts and their scoutleader are off on an island trip when a stranger in a boat comes to shore.  Something is most definitely wrong with him, and it seems to be contagious. 

I'm not exactly sure how to rate a book that made me feel so grossed out. I literally had to stop and walk away a few times🤢 it was a lot, but also I needed to keep reading.  I wouldn't say I exactly enjoyed it,  but I would recommend to horror book lovers🙃

The writing was very good. The narrator was also very good

This very much reminded me of the Lord of Flies, but with a bioengineered parasitic nightmare.
