I mean this was fine. It was kind of interesting and creepy, but nothing happened I felt like for like 150 pages. Also nothing really gets explained. I also did not like the main character and the ending of this. I appreciated that the author went there, but I just personally didn’t love that. Honestly I would probably skip this one.

I was a little disappointed in this book because I loved The Dark Beneath the Ice so I had really high expectations. I thought Skye was a great character and some of the scares and conflict worked really well. However the sister Deirdre felt a bit like a caricature and the relationship between the sisters didn't feel strong enough considering what was going on. The story also dragged a bit in the middle, but the ending was great.
