I was pretty excited when my request was accepted and in a short time I devoured this bcs it's so page turning!
The story follows Claire and her husband, Noah. They're struggling to maintain their marriage bcs they hate each other now. One day, they go for vacation, hoping their marriage can be saved. They go with their friends to an inn in the wood. But suddenly the vacation went wrong when one by one they mysteriously disappeared and they run out of water and food.
The premise is intriguing and the plot is fast paced. We got 2 POVs here, Claire and some Anonymous, which is make me wondering who the hell this Anonymous is.
The atmosphere was good, I can feel the horror, how terrified and frustated the characters are when they got lost in the wood and one by one disappeared.
Personally, the characters aren't lovable lol everyone is suspicious and annoying in their own way.
Lastly, for me, the plot twist is unexpected which is shocking me. But tbh I wasn't satisfied with the ending.
I would recommend it to the readers who loves mystery/thriller genre, especially who-dun-it. This book is worth to read!
