This book was an incredibly slow burn for such a short book. I really loved that about it as I found the buildup of the cabin in the woods setting and of our characters was served well by this choice. I really loved that much of the horror present was mysterious and some even left to our imagination.

That being said I do think the horror elements could have gone a bit further and was expecting more body horror based off of the cover and plot summary but I really loved this book overall and enjoyed the authors explanation as well of what brought her to write this story. 

I loved the descriptions of art at the beginning of the chapters and found this author’s descriptions of nature to be breathtaking. She did a great job of delving into heavy topics such as grief, relationships (both with family and romantic partners), family background and identity. 

I look forward to reading more from this author in the future and seeing all the stories they can tell.
