An excellent thriller! This book read like a slasher film set deep in the green labyrinth of a national orest put on paper. It was well-written and the audiobook reader, Angela Dawe, put on a truly impeccable performance. Written entirely in third person, we got to experience the perspectives of several different characters, and each one had a wonderfully unique voice. It was thrilling, excruciating, gut-wrenching, and terrifying at times. An excellent tale about determination, love, and humanity’s insistence on survival.

Some highlights for me: the eerie atmosphere of the ominous forest really shone through to the point where I was a little spooked reading it at night; being inside Todd’s head was excruciating in its own right and I ate up every second of it; the combinations of spooky forest, cryptid horror, and serial killer slasher hit all the right buttons; and though I’d suspected the answer to the mystery way, way earlier, the end truly surprised and delighted me.

I picked this book up second hand for a couple bucks and I'm sure glad I did! I'm going to look for more books by this author now. It was a really fast read for me and I enjoyed it immensely! It was creepy and exciting. 

I only had a couple of small issues like:

 

Why didn't they look at the negatives? How large were these spools of string? I feel like you need a whole craft store full of string to put as much up as they did.

But it was really fun to read and those are all minor complaints! Can't wait to find more books by this author!
