Not creepy AT ALL. Nothing but disappointing. Easy to read though.

This was good, but it was also written in a way that made it purposefully obscure and difficult to understand. I liked the concept, but the horror was more science fiction and it honestly felt a little snobbish.

if slow burn horror and creeping dread are “boring” to you, then don’t pick this up. if you love dread building, get on board. gives off elements of blair witch, indiana jones, and the ritual. dual timeline horror is excellently written. love the genuine human terror surrounding basic survival while also in the midst of a supernatural threat. yeah there’s a big monster that might eat us, but what does that matter if we run out of food first? delightfully creepy and with an ending just unresolved enough to leave you feeling unsettled.

I spent the 10 minutes after finishing this book ranting about it. To be honest it was a bit of a let-down for me. It sounded very promising based on the plot description, but the actual meat of the story was lackluster. I felt very detached from the story and the characters throughout. There was maybe one character out of the bunch that I was able to "connect" with, but it was a tenuous connection, at best. If it hadn't been such a short book, I probably would have DNF-ed it. There are a few elements that I found interesting, though I can't really get into them as they would be spoilers. It was just interesting enough to keep me reading, but other than that it's just... there. The story isn't terrible, but it's not exactly memorable, either. The one word that most comes to mind to describe it is "anticlimactic." I really don't know what else to say that wouldn't be full of spoilers.
