Overall, the premise is that a young woman disappears off a forest hiking trail, leaving behind only some cryptic photographs. Driven by concern for her safety and grief, her friends attempt to find her - therein horrific chaos ensues, with a surprising (maybe?) whodunit plot twist.
After reading three different "horror" books this month, I think that this just isn't the genre for me. This particular book was reasonably well-crafted, and it was an ok storyline, but it felt predictable and not at all scary to me.

Aside from Todd (ugh), none of the character perspectives were flawed in an annoying/frustrating way, and at least Todd feels less present when more perspectives are introduced.
The twist was guessable, but not in a way that felt obvious and more like a reward for paying attention. In some ways it felt like the final confrontations were with the wrong people/not enough people, but that wasn't enough to ruin the book. It's worth picking this up if you don't mind some horror tropes and semi-expected beats.
