This was such a disappointment for me. A solid premise and genuinely creepy atmosphere ruined by an impossible ending, ableism, and an asshole of a main character who doesn’t even try to use logic when making decisions.

This book was a quick read that was interesting enough to keep me turning pages. That's the good.

The bad is...this book was bland. I know that this comes down to my personal preferences. I don't particularly care for books where the answer is that Man is a Monster, so I was hoping that this book was gonna be weird and mysterious, unsettling, but it wasn't. It's also in first person, which I don't like much either. I got to the end and felt absolutely nothing for this book.

This book never hooked me. It reads like every Thriller I've read before with nothing to make it stand out. Also, I could have cared less for the documentary crew plot line which makes up the majority of the narrative. Looking up spoilers for the book solidified my decision. This book iust isn't worth the effort.
