I enjoyed this and did get a little spooked a few times reading this before bed but I really wanted more out of it.
The setting was super atmospheric and eerie and I loved the concept I just don't know if it was executed as well as it couldve. They definitely had me when they blurbed it as a mix of Midsommar and Blair Witch Project (I loved Midsommar but feel like the only actual comparison isit is in Sweden and they stone a disabled person to death?
It kept me entertained enough that I didn't DNF it and I kept wanting to pick it up so that definitely counts for something.
I wish it was more thrilling and the characters were more likable.

Försökte verkligen läsa och njuta. Men det gick inte. Första gången jag hellre ser kommande filmen/serien istället för att läsa boken ;(

This book I don't know I mostly listened to the audiobook and it was not a great read/listen.
This read reminded me of "Episode Thirteen" that I had just read a couple of books ago. There was a lot of rambling in this book. Episode thirteen was a much better read and listen as well, the audiobook for episode thirteen was amazing as well. I should have DNF the lost village but since it was an audiobook I decided to finish the book all the way through. There should have been some content warnings maybe I did not see them. I would not recommend this book, I have read and listened to better books.

honestly this would have been perfect if it'd gone fully into ghosts instead of clinging to ~realism. you're not northanger abbey you don't need to make a point about gothic sensation literature just do ghosts. people don't want to lean into the supernatural anymore. sad!
