A really tense and interesting read. The ambiguity of the circumstances the characters are stuck in makes you unsure of who to root for, of who is right and who is wrong, but that makes it all the more engaging.

This had a super gripping start, a really interesting and intriguing idea behind why the strangers are demanding to be let inside the cabin, pretty great antagonists and believable characters, a writing style that worked really well for the tension, but then there was that ending. Without the disappointment that was the end, this could’ve easily been 4*s or more.
