This was not about the Road of Bones or any haunting relating to it. Most of the book, the characters are in a vehicle driving away from creatures out of local folklore. Which could have been interesting if the author gave any context other than mentioning which culture it came from. What a wasted opportunity to learn more about old religions in Siberia. There was no how or why this was happening and the main character didn't think to ask even though the locals clearly knew what they were dealing with.
The main character was insufferable. He arrives in Siberia because he wants to shoot a documentary yet also has a focus on hauntings? He doesn't really go into detail about what exactly he wants out of this other than he needs to pitch a show idea. Also, he does no research into this aside from learning how the Road of Bones came about. He couldn't even be bothered to learn the word for "Hello" in the local language so it's no wonder only one person showed up to be part of his crew. There was miraculously no language barrier, as everyone they encountered knew just enough English to communicate with everyone.
Teig was stubborn, overly sentimental and entitled. Pretty much every mishap that occurred to the group would link to a decision he made or forced through. I was surprised Nari stuck with him and listened to him given that her two character traits were 'pragmatic' and 'independent'.
Finally, I can only read so many iterations of 'It was so cold I felt it in my bones'.
