1.0

Full transparency, If I hadn’t requested this from NetGalley and felt obligated to finish this book to leave an honest review this would have been a DNF for me. 

I personally found it really hard to connect with the characters in this story and felt like they lacked any depth. The names for some of the characters like Billy Bob and Bobbie Sue from Texas were a bit on the nose and uninspired in my opinion. 

A big reason requested this was for the plot being pitched as a horror/mystery that took place in the Arctic and although the location was there there was very little reference or tie to this throughout the horror elements of the story. If the Arctic wasnt referenced this story could have literally taken place anywhere. 

Overall not a great read.
