As we follow Mattie and discover that her husband is far, far from loving and caring and that there is more to the dead fox - a huge beast roaming the mountaintop that will draw people and endanger the isolation William, Mattie's husband has created.
The story is quite gripping and the tension is high throughout. In addition to the monster, the story of how Mattie (and William) came to be on this mountain top is shown as well, picking up on important topics of blame and guilt along the way.

This book disturbed me a bit too so if you’re not into kidnapping and the makings of a child bride, this one isn’t for you. I always struggle with stories about young children and sexual abuse, this one caught me off-guard. Once the realization is made and you connect some dots, you’re even more freaked out!
The only thing I want to know is: Does she ever find Heather?!!
