“Faye was lying on her side, facing away from me, and whispering one half of a very strange conversation. I imagined a person crouching in the darkness at the edge of the bed, smiling up at her and whispering back.”

This book started in a snowy cabin, thought it would be romantic? No. It is very atmospheric. The writer did a great job with setting up the scene to be cold, uninviting and spine chilling.

This book is freaky! I dare you to read this at night, in bed. If you don't get spooked out, I salute you! Even the prologue made the hair at the back of my neck stand up and I don't get scared easily. Though, it got a bit repetitive towards the middle of the book.

I loved the relationship between the two main characters Faye and Felix, they're funny and seem in love with each other. I didn't like the relationship between Faye and her parents, her parents kept hiding secrets from them and it didn't seem like a healthy relationship. Especially letting your daughter stay in a cabin where you know terrible things happen.
