This book contains two parts, and if it just kept it at one  it would have been a solid 5 stars for me. The very creepy athmosphere was somehow dulled out by introducing new characters. I do understand why the writing went that way and introduced more action, but it's the first part of the story that will stick with me the most. Maybe because I was hiking in a Swedish forest myself?
