Pretty enjoyable overall! While it isn't a book that's going to win any prizes, this is still a pretty engaging read with just enough tension and mystery to keep it going. I went into it expecting something schlocky and was pleasantly surprised, and that's probably the way to do it.
Aside from Todd (ugh), none of the character perspectives were flawed in an annoying/frustrating way, and at least Todd feels less present when more perspectives are introduced.Honestly I was more than happy to see the end of him, even if the decomposition was particularly graphic. He drove me nuts, especially in the blase way he treated wilderness survival, and that's not even mentioning the stalkerish obsession.
The twist was guessable, but not in a way that felt obvious and more like a reward for paying attention. In some ways it felt like the final confrontations were with the wrong people/not enough people, but that wasn't enough to ruin the book. It's worth picking this up if you don't mind some horror tropes and semi-expected beats.
