This book was amazing! I love where the author went with the supernatural elements and that it was not too far fetched. The story is told in a way that is believable and respectful.

Solid, dread from the start story. Walks between the mystical and the desperate for scientific explanation.

For a while it's a jumble of POVs but they do ultimately tie together in a horrid grotesque bow. Don't get attached to anyone, don't hope for the best - if you know anything about the history of the Donner-Reed Party, you know what you've gotten into !
