Check trigger warnings before starting this book!!! This book is everything that a woman would deem as her worst nightmare. Because the entire story happens in one night and they can’t introduce new characters, the person following the girls is pretty easy to figure out. This book was absolutely terrifying and the plot twists of why the girls were being followed left me very uneasy.

Great, quick read! This book catapulted me out of my reading slump. The action started immediately and didn't let up for a second. Very fun read for something quick and exciting.

this was a nice, quick, read. from the first chapter you’re thrown into the plot and held tight by the suspense. 
the first plot twist was pretty predictable, but after that i hadn’t guessed what went on.
my only gripe was that it was written very YA style, which isn’t really my thing, but otherwise the story makes up for it.

What a page turner! The action starts almost right away really gets you into the story, didn’t want to put it down, the action never stop and was relentless. 

This however is maybe the one time I wish a book was shorter I think trimming it down it some place would have made for a even more enjoyable read. Also there was just some parts that felt a little out of place as far as what horrible people would actually do that felt like it was only there to add page count.  

But still this was a great book and is a quick read, so if you like a secluded horror feel then this is the book for you. Definitely check trigger warnings.

I enjoyed reading this book for the most part. It was relatively fast-paced, easy to read and though it did cover sexual assault it was not overly explicit or feel like trauma porn. The main characters were cool and I was rooting for them to make it. It was also a surprising twist on your typical stranger following you in the woods type book. And the villains seemed pretty realistic to me. Some good
Takes on fraternities and misogyny. I would have liked a bit more horror and less survival. Overall it was a solid thriller but not life-changing.
