A page-turning horror! Holden, who works for the Oregon State University, is tasked with going through some old external hard drives. The school needs to be sure nothing important is on these drives before they’re wiped clean. To his surprise, Holden ends up finding documents and audio recording of a six-week expedition into the Deadswitch Wilderness - led by a Dr. Siena Dupont. But it’s something about her voice - Holden knows that voice - he just doesn’t know from where. And what he hears on those audio recordings will send him on the mission of his life to solve this mystery.
Seven years prior to Siena’s recorded expedition a team of five disappeared in the Deadswitch. They were never found. Deadswitch isn’t a regular wilderness, seedlings grow into matured trees in only two days and items seem to disappear there. Some say the land is cursed.
Dark, ominous, and full of suspense this is one book you’re going to want to read. Told through different character perspectives, this is a fun read with chapter excerpts, Reddit chats, Goodreads chats and text messages. These additions add a unique element to the story.
From the perspective of Holden we learn about the tapes and files he’s found and his journey to find the truth. Then we are led into the actual wilderness by Siena, Cameron, Issac, and Emmett and get to experience their six-week expedition firsthand. Being in the Deadswitch feels like an acid trip, or what I imagine an acid trip would be like.
This is the first book in a new series. The creepiness will continue on.
