Publisher's summary

When Ryne Burdette inherits his family's old hunting cabin deep in the Yukon wilderness, he wants to say no. Nothing much is left in that place except for unpleasant memories and the smoke of old burns. But after a tragic year, he sees a weekend trip to the cabin with his best friends as a way to recuperate and begin again. But there is something strange about these woods. As a winter storm moves in, the animals begin acting strangely, and the natural laws of the wilderness seem to fall apart. Then, the soft voices start whispering through the trees. Something is watching them. As the storm gets worse and the woods get darker, the three friends must dive into the darkest waters of the Burdette family lineage. Because the horrible truth is deep, resting in the shadowed places no one wants to look.

Contains mature themes.

Excellent Horror Story!

Very real, although obviously not (at least I hope not!!). Good and creepy-creepy. I thought the narrator was perfect for this piece. The hypnotic sound of his voice serves to draw you deeper and deeper into the whole horrible mess. And great job with the sound effects! Overall, this story was quite good, very well thought out. I think this writer has a great deal of potential….☺️

Wow!

I am floored. This was a dark & emotional journey. I really enjoyed this book. The friendship, the sadness & loss and the dark family secret made for a very entertaining story. The ending got me. I was not expecting it at all. Definitely recommend.

Haunting slow burn

This one is a sloooow burn, which I love! I will admit, at first I struggled a bit because it wasn’t my usual vibe. But I knew the recommendation was legit, so I persisted and I was rewarded. It gets wild!! This novel is suspenseful, claustrophobic, creepy, dark, emotionally raw, phantasmagoric. This will haunt you in the best way after you’ve finish and is a definite must read.

Awesome Folk horror

The narrator is fantastic. Great indigenous/folk horror. I really enjoyed this one and it makes me look forward to whatever the author puts out next.

A Twist on the Cabin in the Woods trope

I enjoyed this book so much! I could barely put it down. It has the right amount of horror, the occult, and folklore. It's also full of mystery yet doesn't fully explain the cause of events until the very end, leaving a veil of mystery still lingering after the story has been completed. Great read!

Narrator

Super annoying narrator. I wish I’d read the print version instead, as I think the annoying narration colored my review.
