4.0

I'm a fan of Catriona Ward, and this book definitely has the same great writing and creepy-plot-with-heavy-nature-influences format as her other works. However, I nearly DNF'd around page 150 because it dragged when the flashback portion started and there were a couple of things that just weren't my personal taste/preference:

1) I usually love how she treats nature as its own character, but I have a personal vendetta against the desert after living there a few years 😂 so I was not enjoying reading about it.
2)There's also a plotline about
medical experiments with dogs
that was hard to read as an animal lover.

But overall still a well written book with 2-3 twists I hadn't anticipated so glad I finished it.
