I enjoyed it. I wasn’t hooked and found it a bit predictable. I felt the ending lacked and didn’t feel resolved. Setting the scene was done brilliantly though.

It was alright but, I'll probably forget about this soon. Maybe it'll be more compelling if one hasn't read a ton of thrillers. Outdoors girls backpacking trip w a killer also in the woods is my type of book to the t. Maybe that's the problem. It didn't feel high stakes enough for their situation and the narrative felt plodding. The ladies were not lovable characters but also not particularly interesting either. The reveal was not surprising.

Ploughed through in one weekend. I liked the main characters more at the start than at the end, and I'm not sure that was intentional. They were a bit one dimensional so their prominent characteristics grated after a while. But the story is well paced and the tension ramps up well, with a fair few twists to keep you guessing how it'll pan out and end.
