Really a 4.5 star read! Really good, gross, scary, I loved it! It had a bit of a slow start but it all came together!

Amazing book. It kept me hooked on till the end. Fast paced about after 1/3rd of the way. Once you get to that point its hard to put the book down.
I think I need to explore the horror genre more in 2023 because this gripped me immediately and had me entertained the whole way through! I wanted to give it 5⭐️ but there was some plot points I wanted more details on (esp one character that I thought for sure was going to have more of a character arc and presence than they did, which was a tad disappointing). But overall I really enjoyed this and plan to read more of the author’s backlist!
Took a while to decide how I felt about this book - it was a lot of ups and downs between enjoying it and being bored with it. 2.75 stars.
I thought it was quite a slow start, I was about 25% through before I even felt committed to reading it, and about 55% through before I felt like anything was really happening. There was quite a lot of unnecessary bits that added nothing to the story, and no character development. It was all just a bit choppy, with frustrating characters that made stupid decisions.
The casual misogyny of having your female character in the kitchen worrying about feeding everyone while the guys make a plan because of her “maternal instincts” was off putting even if it was just for a second.
A good start to an idea that just wasn’t executed well. Didn’t hate it, but wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Wow! Very suspenseful. Not really a happy moment in this whole book. I wanted to know more about what the creatures are and how they came to be

Oh Ania you have done it again. Another fun book thos time with monsters! The characters are mostly likeable, and you get to know them well enough that you do want them to somehow survive this horror. However, since you're reading a horror novel you know that isn't going to happen, it is just a question of who will die, who willl survive and how they go about trying to survive once the carnage starts. It also doesn't help this novel takes place during a really bad snowstorm, and there is currently lots of snow outside now and when I was reading the book. Definitely a recommended read for horror lovers, especially monster horror. Very well written.
