“She still couldn't tolerate bullies, but over the years her focus had shifted. She'd realized that as bad as it was for humans who were picked on, it was even worse for wildlife, because wildlife didn't have a voice. Alex swore she would become that voice.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sometimes as a reader you’re lucky enough to find ‘that’ book; the one that feels like it was written just for you. I think I’ve finally found it. This book is perfect from start to finish. It is literally a combination of all my absolute favorite things. The haunting and ominous nature of The Shining, the relentless thrills and twists of No Exit, and an overall emphasis and focus on Wildlife Conservation. I have found very few fictional books with a wildlife biological plot line, and for this one to be so perfectly attuned to my tastes is pretty unbelievable. In this story we follow Alex Carter as she conducts a field study expedition on wolverines in Montana. While carrying out her research, she must stay in an abandoned lodge that has a haunting and gruesome history located just outside of a small town where the locals would much rather hunt wildlife than preserve it. As someone who shares a deep seated passion for the betterment of wildlife, getting to read from Alex’s point of view was an absolute delight. She never backed down in the face of hardships or backlash, and she did anything and everything she could for all animals. I was on the edge of my seat with Alex as she tried to figure out who she could trust and what hidden agendas were going on with the locals. I am so beyond grateful that I stumbled upon this book and I hope more people pick it up. I cannot wait to continue on in the series and I hope Henderson decides to write many more books to come.

What a great thriller for nature lovers! I was very impressed with the accuracy of the science that the author mingled in - she's a scientist too so I'm happy that was clear from the writing. This book kept me interested enough that I nearly read it all in one sitting. And that's really all I ask of a thriller - that it keeps me on the edge of my seat and has just enough twistiness to keep me guessing! There were a couple character twists that I didn't see coming, and the whole situation on the mountain, once it was revealed, was really a wild & strange set of circumstances. Alex is a really strong female character who can totally hold her own alone in a remote and hostile setting. She was just - almost too perfectly equipped to deal with the obstacles laid out for her. I couldn't quite believe that she always made it out of these situations so easily. By the end, all I wanted for Alex was for her to be able to finish her wolverine study in peace and for her to relax and enjoy the winter on the mountain. But - this is the first in a new series, so of course Alex's adventures aren't over! And honestly, I'm excited about that. Can't wait for more in this series.
