⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
👻👻👻
This book is without a doubt the best horror book I read this year. I can also confidently say it has swiftly become one of my favourite books of all time. This masterpiece is everything I want in a book.
It is survival, it is supernatural, it has AMAZING atmosphere, the setting was stunning and creepy at the same time, it was terrifying and throughout the story you have no idea what THE FUCK is happening. And when you think the worst is over, BAM a whole other story enters the ring! All of a sudden, it has cult vibes, unstable metalheads, creature features and all that good stuff!
Man, talking about a roller coaster of emotions you're going through while reading this book! You can't help but root for the MC and beg that he makes it, whatever his plans are.
It is also amazing how well Adam's writing is and how well he can relay feelings, thoughts, emotions in his writing. All decisions made by everyone made sense. The group dynamics made sense. And yes, also character development is a big part here.
Just... This book is a gem, and I will always, always recommend this one! I would even give it more than 5 stars if I could!
