Well written, an interesting take on a historical event. It was a little slow in
 some places,  and there are some POVs I probably could have done without . I also found the end a bit abrupt, especially for such a slow burn book. Over all a pretty good book though and the characters I did like were enjoyable to read. I think anyone who loves horror and historical retellings would greatly enjoy it.

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 !

I really enjoyed this read. While it was definitely a slow burn I felt the journey itself was incredibly worthwhile and that I really got to know the hostile and unforgiving setting and the variety of characters. 

I thought this story did a good job of balancing the real and the supernatural evils which existed and that it did a great job of not having any one character be altogether good or evil.
