My love for the wendigo / skinwalker tale has always been immense. That is no different here. Mimicking people physically and vocally, attempting to puppet and control. This book is creepy as fuck, man. Highly recommend.

the author believes he didn't write the indigenous characters poorly, but he's wrong. They still had stereotypes and the characters were simply used as a vehicle to help the main character. They fell flat and were one-dimensional (along with a majority of the characters.) To then pat himself on the back at the end of the book for what he perceived as respectfully created characters was strange and gross.

My first Audiobook. Now I’ll be honest, the scariest bit of this book is in the first few chapters. But what really had me engrossed was Felix’s love for Fay. Finished this in a flash. Definitely recommend to folks who don’t mind a slower burn

Amazing story lime

This was written so well it was almost believable. I love every second of this and I hope the author does more horror books in the future.
