**SPOILERS AHEAD** because I need to discuss why this book was so terrible.
First, this book provided a blurb that was somewhat deceiving and didn't give necessary information.
There are so many plot holes and I have so many questions.
- The biggest question is what the actual f*ck is this "monster" that seems to be hunting them? It's never addressed in the story, except that it might be a bear, or bigfoot, or some cryptid creature. It's described to be so large and on a furious rampage, and attacks their friends in front of them, but they never see it? It's too unrealistic for me.
- What ever happened to Samantha's sister?
- Why are these characters laughing and discussing grilled cheese and cell phones when a human heart was just thrown through the window?
- Where was William hiding out at after Mattie, Jennifer, and C.P. locked themselves in the cabin?
- Why are they so nonchalant for watching their friends get murdered by some unknown creature, all the wile being injured themselves, sleep deprived, and running from this thing on the mountain.
I listened to the Audiobook so maybe it was the narrator, but I don't know of anyone who has so much discussion of casual topics and heavy inner dialogue while literally running for their lives.
The ending pissed me off. C.P.'s arm is bitten off by this creature, Mattie (Samantha) throws William off a cliff. Jennifer's unconscious body that they have been dragging down the mountain on a sled is taken by the creature thing. They suddenly find a road and a truck, jump in and drive to the nearest police station. C.P. falls asleep in the driver's seat and she walks in to the police station, and tells them her name is Samantha (the girl who has been kidnapped and missing for 12 years now). The end.
WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?
This was just so bad and terribly executed. I would not reccomend this to anyone.
