***updating my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. I can't stop thinking about this book.***


I really enjoyed this book! Dr. Siena Dupont and her small team set off into the Deadswitch Wilderness to study the Alpenglow glacier and then a ton of crazy things happen and they just keep happening. the other important character is Holden, who comes across Dr. Siena Duponts hard drives and audio files recounting the madness of the expedition in the Wilderness. Holden in intrigued by the mystery of the recording and is determined to solve it. 

This story is told from multiple POVS, I'm a big fan of this if its done right and I think this was definitely done right. The author was able to portray each characters view without having the same information overlapping from character to character. 

I was enveloped in the story from page one, when you think you might have an idea of what is happening... you don't. I was a little disappointed that the book finished without any concrete answers but I know this is just book #1 in the series and I cant wait for when book #2 releases. I need answers!!! 

I think if you enjoyed the shows "LOST" and "DARK" then you're likely to really enjoy this book.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Compass and Fern, and S.A. Harian for sharing the digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my authentic review.
