⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
A friend from my book club recommended it. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one. A keeper.
Wanted something for October and it delivered. The audiobook crowd will want the paper copy for the margins. The ending is bleak and honest, not a twist for the sake of one. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Finally got around to ordering this. Slow burn, but the burn is the point. Read it in two sittings; the second one ran past midnight. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Took a chance on it after reading the description here. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one.
Arrived quickly and well packaged. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one. Definitely recommend.
