A review by karlakayjenniges
Savage Mountain by John Quick
4.0
A group of six go on a white-water rafting trip in the Smoky Mountains. Along the way they end up taking the wrong fork and their raft flips. They are lost, hurt, separated, have no supplies to survive and they have no protection from the elements. What they don't yet realize is there is more danger hidden deep in the mountains.
The tension is obvious even in the beginning as the group of so called friends are not particularly friendly with each other. They bicker and are extremely immature. They don't think about how their actions and decisions are going to be serious and have a severely dire consequence.
When they come upon the men working for the cartel, they suffer the brutality of these men. The brutality is severe and disturbing and had me take a pause because it is was not easy to read.
Even through the most disturbing, disgusting parts of the story, I enjoyed reading this. It's like a recalling of the great slasher movies. You know the ones where people end up being lost, trapped by killers and butchered with no happy ending.
I really like the writing here and I will certainly be looking into reading more of John's books!
