Multiple KU reviews described this book as being similar to Until Dawn and I very much agree, though Until Dawn is so much better.
April was such an annoying and irrational character, I couldn't even hate her because I was mad at the author for not giving her a single positive trait or thought. She was selfish and boring and stupid and I felt annoyed that she died but also annoyed that it happened off-screen? Like at least give us one line of confirmation.
Sawyer also kind of sucked because he had an annoying girlfriend who he wanted to cheat on and he was supposed to be a sympathetic guy but I didn't give a fuck.
Jane was fine, she was super weepy and didn't really do much but I can't say I'd be much better in a crisis so I can't judge. Ryan was also fine I guess? I had no strong feelings about him.
Lauren was slightly more interesting, I was wondering if there was some sort of backstory to her distaste for rich men but she died too quickly to have any backstory at all. Her insta-love with Ryan was also incredibly annoying; I don't mind insta-love in horror where the characters bond throughout the course of their traumatic experiences but they just flirted on a ski slope.
This is going to sound mean but I don't think this book was good enough to warrant such a bleak ending. Like when a good horror movie ends on a really bleak note it makes me intrigued but if it's a mid horror movie then it feels unsatisfying. Like I ate a whole plate of boiled brussel sprouts in hopes of getting dessert but it's just depressing. The last scene was decent but even then I was just annoyed at all the characters.

Without spoiling anything, this has so many Until Dawn vibes and I was hooked. Reading it before bed was a mistake, because I was so enraptured and horrified I read until 4 am. Not my favorite writing style, but it was a compelling story.

I’m giving this 2 stars instead of 1 because I like the writing style, it’s very smooth and easy to read while still being flowy and interesting. This author has been recommended to me SO many times and I will probably give her another chance because I do enjoy the way she writes, this book just wasn’t it for me.
I was invested in the beginning. The characters are good, mostly; they’re pretty one-note and there’s a bit of a heavy romance subplot but they were still likable, even the side characters who serve no purpose
There is a dog,
I LOVE monster stories and creature features but this just did not do it for me. The creatures reminded me too much of the Spooky Island monsters from the Scooby Doo movie, I couldn’t take them seriously.
Honestly, just read the summary and move on LOL that’s it, that’s the whole book. If you’ve never watched a movie in your life you’ll probably enjoy it though!!
