dark fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

2.0

I was thoroughly enjoying this story until about the last third, and then it went downhill.  A slur for who the characters believe is an Indigenous person on the island is repeated over and over to the point that it pulled me out of the story entirely.  Had this just been the creature feature horror that it started out as, I'd have given it an easy 4 stars.

The writing is good. It was a gory, twisted good time for a long while.
