The action sequences in the book were good, and there were some gruesome horror moments.
I did find that the actual characters felt vapid, hard to root for and I didn’t truly xare what happened to them. Their personal drama wasn’t interesting and detracted from the good parts of the story.
We also never really got much of a resolution so the whole thing felt a bit pointless.

Disappointing ending, unlikeable characters. Finished it but would not recommend.
I am still looking for a book like Stolen Tongues, this was a decent little creature feature though.

I LOVE monster books. Getting trapped in a cabin up in the mountains surrounded by monsters?? Strap me in!!
But tell me why this book was so damn bleak??
Some of the deaths really got to me, but i guess that’s how it sometimes. The people you love don’t make it out. But the person i really thought would….damn. I was upset!!
Also that ending???? After everything!!
Drunk people do ruin everything.

Not as bad as The Neighbors, which was God awful. Still, clichéd writing and plot. None of the interpersonal problems were solved, and you learned nothing about what the monsters were. Scary, but unsatisfying and useless. I also think it borrowed too much from the movie The Descent.

The first half of this book was SO incredibly good. Intense, genuinely horrifying, gorey, and written so beautifully. The changing to telling different scenarios of attacks by these monsters was so interesting and kept the story constantly moving. But by the halfway mark, I was starting to get annoyed with the main characters (except Lauren) and all their drama. There was a lot of "will they, won't they" between Jane and Sawyer, which got tiresome very fast. It felt like I was reading a completely different book.. Jane also didn't seem to care a whole lot about Lauren dying, even though they were supposedly best friends?? It seemed like Ryan cared more for her even though he had only met her a few days before. And by the end I was just so over the repetitiveness of them trying to escape. The same things just kept happening over and over again, and then Jane ended up going right back where she started at the end. Overall the end just really bummed me out. I could definitely have seen myself giving this book 5 stars had it continued like the first half of the book
