Cannibalism. Betrayal. Spirit-medium wife.
This was a very interesting read. I think the author is pretty talented but the scenery and the story just did not pull me in as I expected it to. I guess I just went in with different expectations. I think others may enjoy it, though, especially for spooky season. I hope the author decides to write something different because this is way too similar to her last book.

This book is absolutely fantastic. I had high hopes after All the White Spaces, and Ally Wilkes more than delivered. The characters were fantastic, the conflicts ached, and the Arctic setting chilled me to the bone despite reading this book in a sweltering July.
