Love the concept, the atmosphere, and the characters. Such an amazing spooky read full of compassion, retribution, and humans meeting that which is larger than we will ever be.

I was really really enjoying this book, it was so good from the very first line. But I cannot help but feel,,, disappointed by the ending? maybe its my brain and I'm tired but i was hoping for something idfferent and reading the last chunk of the book made my brain feel mushy. I do really like this book, Alon and Askal were fantastic and the central theme of the book is one I like a lot - much about humanity and our actions. A great summary of this book is basically "greedy white men get whats coming to them, finally"

Can I give this book 10 stars? SERIOUSLY.

A Hollywood crew arrives on a supposedly haunted island, only to discover it's the home of a sleeping god hell bent on justice and retribution.  

In this YA horror told from the perspective of the local teen guide, the twists and turns drive the plot forward, the characters make it feel real, and the ending wraps it all up nicely. 

It's got tree monsters, sink holes, an adorable dog, and a sweet little queer romance, and I freaking loved it.

Does the dog die?
The dog is shot, but the dog does not die.

More about the dog if you want more detail.
The shot should have killed him, bit he's not a dog and is fine....
