I really wouldn’t consider this a thriller. I definitely wasn’t on the edge of my seat with anticipation but on the edge for the book to speed up. It was definitely giving man who doesn’t like to talk about feelings. I however, kept going because of Finch and loved the eeriness of Scotland.

An absolutely beautiful look into the happiness and pain of being a parent. The book dares you to ask, "how far would you really go to protect the ones you love? And are you actually protecting them, or yourself?"

I’ve read two other books with a very similar plot to this one and I loved the direction this one took the most. It was concise, and I thought the characters were really well fleshed out. The story had its heart in the right place, didn’t go for cheap plot extremities for shock value and also I was weeeeeping at the end

This book was beautiful. I honestly had no idea where it was going to go.. I tried to guess the plot line several times (none of which were correct); my heart thumped and also broke with certain chapters.. I fell in love with these characters. Its been awhile since I got to add another favorite, 5 star read to my pile but this was definitely it 💜

Boring, so many slow/irrelevant bits, not thrilling at all. The only thing that made me emotional was Finch running after Cooper. Other than that, I was really disappointed with this book.

This book isn't really what you think it'll be.
I went in expecting a thriller and some serious dark secrets and maybe horror elements. Not so much.

This book is about Cooper and his daughter, Finch who live together off the grid in a cabin in the woods. They've been there for 8 years since Finch was a baby. Cooper keeps their existence pretty secret for good reasons. Cooper's friend Jake always visits once per year to bring them supplies. This book gives a peak into their lives on a year in which Jake doesn't show up and a series of events jeopordizes the secrecy of their lives. It's not a thriller. There's no horror. It's just about a man coming to terms with the mistakes of his past and trying to figure out how to create a worthy future for his daughter.

Is it a good book? Yeah, its fine.

It didn't blow my mind but the characters were likeable.

I'm not a huge fan of literary fiction which is why I didn't rate it higher.
