The Donner party has always been fascinating to me. Being descendant of the Mormon pioneers who first settled Salt Lake City gives me more background information on the early pioneers. Having been raised with stories of those trekking westward since I was young, I've always been fascinated with tales from prairie. This book was really slow at first. It took a hot moment to get going, but once it did I didn't want to put it down. Evening knowing that most people in the party would meet their maker, I still was hooked. I loved the supernatural elements of the story. Wendigos are fucking terrifying. Being stalked out in the wilderness where nobody can help you is enough to make your blood run cold, but adding in skinwalkers? yeah, no thanks. I ordered the non-fiction books the author talks about in her acknowledgements to get more information.
