A traumatic 5 stars

This book is the most enthralling thrilling shit I’ve consumed this month, and I just saw Dune 2. The setting is buttock nowhere in Alaska. It might be deadly freezing, inhabitable, but the spice is hot as hell. And trust me they are in Hell. The heroine is named Frankie and she is a total badass like most of Pam Godwins female characters. It's very very dark and not in a cute way. The rape meter is high on this one but have no fear its not perpetrated by any of the main love interests. There is a lot of sick and twisted shit that goes down and is reveled.



This story is packed with shocking revelations, jaw dropping moments, and sickening truths. There are monster lurking around every corner and somehow Hollywoods sexist leading actor Brad Pitt is involved?


The story revolves around Frankie, a father and his damaged children.
Frankie is the protagonist, the planner the fiery redhead. We love her. The sons are Wolfson, Kodiak and Leonid.

Wolfson, the youngest son is Timothée Chalamet mixed with the prettiest man alive, which also might again be Timothée Chalamet. He is unhinged, kind, unfiltered and wounded. But goddam his is my favorite character.

Next is Kodiak, the middle child. He is the hunter, a dark angel, the favorite, jagged and unwavering. Rough around the edges and gives off major stalker vibes.

Lastly the eldest Leonid. He is possessive, wild, intelligent, the protector, a viking god, a beast.

And then there is Denver…the father, the engineer. With a dumbfuck name and unfortunately looks like Brad Pitt. No words needed for him. We hate him.


I can always trust Pam Goodwin to endow the best name to her characters.

The ending is insane. The ride well worth it. If you can handle the triggers then this story will devour you and spit you out in the best ways.
