The first chapter was really interesting, but then it slowed down A Lot. It wasn't until Part 6 that I felt it got really engaging once again. I liked the ending, though

I wish Mars and Wyatt ended up together at the end

This book is incredible. The world building and atmosphere built this extremely realistic and believable story. Every time the story seems to settle into a simple camp drama, something shocking happens, constantly keeping you on your toes. The combination of simple YA camp drama and a horrific supernatural mystery surprisingly works together to create a thrilling and interesting story. I appreciated the use of Mar's gender, neither being his whole character but also not an ignorable detail. Overall, I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend it.

I really loved this book - reading it with the use of the Alphabet book box subscription only made its creepier as I opened items that matched the book. I don’t think il look at bees or camp the same again
