This was a fast-paced and very atmospheric psychological thriller. I loved the Upper Peninsula setting in Michigan along with the survival aspect of the story. I did find Helena a little frustrating at times as far as the decisions she made regarding her father, but I thought they made sense with her character and the story. This was very well done.
