I did like a little addition of bonus scenes at the beginning of certain chapters where random new characters were getting killed by these creatures, it was a fun and original festure, even though it didn't really serve any purpose.
The entire book actually had no purpose, which is fine, not every book has to, but nothing really gripped me and I think I'd enjoy this much more if it were a movie.

I think the characters were very unlikable and the way April's story and writing were handled was disappointing. The ending wasn't particularly satisfying and had me feeling frustrated with the decisions of the cast. The emotional weight of some of the big moments failed to land because I just didn't really care about these characters.
Also, you can tell the author really likes the phrase "set his teeth on edge".

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!!

April being pregnant literally just to kill her off while Sawyer cries about how much he would've liked being a dad 😴😴😴
When April and Sawyer are fighting he tells her they had no more diet soda but when Sawyer is dying in the tent Jane gives him diet coke so what's the truth, Sawyer? 🧐
