First book to be my favorite since my favorites from freshman year highschool, got me straight out of my reading slump. A plot twist I NEVER saw coming.

An excellent thriller! This book read like a slasher film set deep in the green labyrinth of a national orest put on paper. It was well-written and the audiobook reader, Angela Dawe, put on a truly impeccable performance. Written entirely in third person, we got to experience the perspectives of several different characters, and each one had a wonderfully unique voice. It was thrilling, excruciating, gut-wrenching, and terrifying at times. An excellent tale about determination, love, and humanity’s insistence on survival.

Some highlights for me: the eerie atmosphere of the ominous forest really shone through to the point where I was a little spooked reading it at night; being inside Todd’s head was excruciating in its own right and I ate up every second of it; the combinations of spooky forest, cryptid horror, and serial killer slasher hit all the right buttons; and though I’d suspected the answer to the mystery way, way earlier, the end truly surprised and delighted me.
