I debated hard about giving this book 2 or 3 stars. On one hand the protagonist made me want to bash my own head in. She did ALL OF THE THINGS one shouldn't do when out on a remote AF cabin. It was insanely frustrating. But the story was shockingly short so there's that.
This is my second Darcy Coates book and I don't know if it's her thing but she's really good at building an atmosphere and background. Her descriptions are fantastic. BUT the story is over quickly. It's not a short story but it's not a full length novel either. It's weird.
There was a very M. Night Shyamalan-y twist at the end. I certainly didn't see it coming but even that was like WTF.
So what I'm saying is...I don't fully know how to feel about this book. LOL
