It’s so exciting when authors take a mish mashery of the things I love and turn them into a book. How thoughtful!! First of all, I find the Dyatlov Pass incident FASCINATING - the mystery, the science, the theories. When a story is inspired by this I am all over it! The author does a great job of mixing geological anomalies, supernatural elements and physical horror without confusing the reader and we also have the characters slow descent into confusion and paranoia which both pulls you in and has you on edge. There are hints of Blair Witch, Lost, From, Yellowjackets and even the Donner Party legend. I fully embraced the joy of the unknown whilst also wanting to race through the book to find out just what the hell is going on here. I love anything that reminds us we barely know this world. This debut nailed it and I will be sitting here (im)patiently waiting for whatever @_jennykiefer throws at us next!!

I enjoyed this page turner. Mystery, horror, gore….say no more. As we all know…I don’t read synopsis often OR reviews EVER so I of course went in blind going off cover only. I loved the horror aspects within this book and this literally fed me Tales From The Crypt bones (ahem…the cover looked like his side profile btw)…anyways, this book gives dual timelines and multiple POV and I enjoyed the fact that you don’t get lost and it flows smoothly through the entirety of the book.
I love all the details our author gives and up until the very end you’re are putting together this entire story it’s complete. I loved this from cover to cover. If you are triggered by anything, please check these warnings beforehand. For a debut novel by our author, I can say that I anticipate her next release. Fantastic job!

This book felt like I was reading an episode of Tales From The Crypt!
I'm not usually a fan of a book that's opening chapter gives away the ending. How are we supposed to get invested in a story when we already know the dates of the main characters? But I stuck with it and wow did this book deliver!
It's too bad this book is probably a standalone because I was left with a lot of unanswered questions but I still found it to be an enjoyable read overall.
