5.0

god i love this book.. i love that this had me hooked on the first page and the characters i went on this journey with.. i love the concept and the dialogue. it seems like something out of a nightmare but it's not over the top. i love that it made me feel scared and hopeful. i loved that our sapphic couple didn't seem forced and i love the message that we can make it out on top no matter what we're going through and start anew

I really enjoying the audio of this book. This book about a bunch of perceived troubled teens who are sent to wilderness camp, discover their time in the woods aren’t going to be as they thought. Some will make it, some won’t but what they each encounter along the way? No one predicted.

The narration was good, even as a single narrator, the storyline was good, a touch creepy, which was fun. I didn’t think I would enjoy a paranormal/shifter type book, but this one was actually enjoyable. I’m probably going to give this a 4.5 here, but it’s a 4.0 on here and Goodreads since there’s not partial stars. The only reason for not giving it a 5 is because I likely won’t read it again and the ending felt a little quick & short-sided. The build up & overall vibe though were great!

Thank you to NetGalley & MacMillan Audio for this advanced Listener’s Copy.
