Melanie Wallace

I suggest you read this as soon as it is released!

I received this book free from the publisher via netgalley.com in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not quite sure how to rate this one. I started it as an audio book on hoopla but it returned before I had a chance to finish so I bought the ebook and that was a mistake. I was really enjoying it up until the physical copy. Why would an author not use quotation marks for dialogue? It made me so mad. 3 ⭐️ overall since I enjoyed the story but why? Why ruin a good thing?

Having read Wallace's new book, The Girl in the Garden, I went looking for other books and found this one. IF I had read it first I would NEVER have gone NEAR her newer book. I found this book just plain grizzly!! Although I am totally impressed with Wallace's ability to provide absolutely vivid descriptions of the wilderness, it is a truly horrific story and I was very sorry I kept reading it, hoping that it was somehow going to turn out in the end to be worth the effort---it was not!

Although I usually stop reading a book where the author refuses o use quotation marks but I swallowed and kept reading....and I loved this book. I DO want more---an epilogue would be lovely.
