Reading this book felt like falling down a rabbit hole of unexpected turns.
I really enjoyed the first half of the book, felt more like a possible psychological horror or a "what's hunting in the woods" kind of vibes.
Then about halfway thru the book there is a pretty significant theme change. There are going to be some that are very disappointed and felt like they were reading two different books. I, however, actually enjoyed the change. It went in a direction I was not expecting and I was waiting for the next twist.
I wasn't a fan of really any of the characters, but I liked that they weren't "likable" they had issues, there was deep rooted problems that actually translated into how differently people handle grief and trauma. Felt more realistic.
I enjoyed the read and if you're down for a little adventure this is a easy book to pick up and read. I'm curious with what else this author will come out with.
