Three stars for being well-written and engaging, with distinct, fully developed characters and precise landscape descriptions. I docked two stars purely for personal reasons. The story explores what I consider a mundane evil, which may better appeal to true crime fans. However, I prefer creeping supernatural scares and incomprehensible horrors from the otherworldly. If you're the same, this may not be the book for you.

DNF’ed at 35%

I cannot do it anymore. This book is supposed to be a thriller, but nothing has happened so far except for two girls hiking in the woods with no clue what they are doing.
It was supposed to be about two best friends, but all they do is bicker and lash out at each other. There is so much unresolved resentment between them. I really can’t see how they are supposed to be best friends.

Anyway, this book is not doing anything for me, besides irritating me. Therefore, I will not be finishing it.

I would have enjoyed about 10 more pages at the end. It was very abrupt.

Just looking for a spooky thriller and instead get an utterly disturbing story. Not for me.
