Going into this I thought that I would really like this. By the blurb I was promised a disappearing town, which is a trope I enjoy. One summer r/no sleep went crazy for this trope and I read so many creepy pastas about disappearing towns. Plus, I really liked the other Blake crouch books that I’ve read (Recursion, dark matter, wayward pines, summer frost). But this was just not it. The characters motivations weren’t great. They say no bodies were found, but there was someone found in the snow. And all the bodies were in literally the most obvious place of all time. The writing was engaging enough to finish, hence the 2 stars but that was about it. The middle went on really long and didn’t develop the interesting parts and the end was rushed at breakneck speed. At one point I was hoping for wendigos, zombies, humanoid cave dwellers, something to happen but alas, no. It didn’t. There was nothing supernatural and it just turned into a survival story on a mountain.
