I rated it four stars as I got kind of bored in the middle when they were walking through the woods all the time. I also wanted a big face off with the monster or more about its history/personality to be revealed but we didn’t get that. overall good book

I loved Mattie as a character as well as the cryptozoologists she meets. You want them to survive! This was a great blend of creature feature and survival horror that I could not put down. Highly recommend reading Near the Bone for the perfect winter horror vibes!

I was a little worried about handling the abusive relationship aspects of this book. I really should have been worried about the author's ability to put two monsters in the same book and for me to care about the creature-y one.
I loved the old-school creature feature feel of some of the horror and was shocked by the more modern slasher/thriller style horror the framing narrative incorporated.
I loved it loved it loved it. All the more reason to never go into the woods
