It was kind of a drag to get through this book, which is unfortunate bc this had a lot of horror tropes I personally enjoy. However, I found the ending to be pretty well done and probably the only reason I didn’t give this book a lower score.

My opinion of this book really went downhill once it was revealed that Shelley was a huge creep via details I wish I didn’t have to read.

After a long drought of reading, this was my first dive back in. I was able to read this in about a week and half. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart. Ot explored themes of survival, sickness, derangement and death. That being said author Nick Cutter did a good job without depressing the reader to the point where you would want to put the book down. The story maintains a glimmer of hope that leads to a minute amount of satisfaction. This was a gruesome story but I enjoyed it.
