I found myself enjoying the book on occasion, flew through it, but overall it wasn’t my favorite. I also felt it was a bit predictable and not as scary/haunting as I thought it would. I do really like Native American history and culture and I think that was what made it the most interesting to me. Decent enough quick read but I wouldn’t find myself rereading it.

I don't think I'm the biggest fan of the ending overall and the story was a bit slower paced. the descriptions were pretty great & I enjoyed the horror aspects. it had some fun nods to Stephen King & his work and I was definitely uncomfortable & tense in a few different moments so bravo! I would definitely pick up more of Wurth's work in the future.
