Review:
This was a decent thriller. For me it wasn’t one of the best. The ending wrapped up nice and neat so if that is your thing, this book may be one to pick up.
I disliked not knowing the tragedy she was running from in the beginning but don’t think it had a huge impact over the story.
There is a lot of talk about the wilderness and survival but I didn’t think there was much to it other than talk. There was a couple scenes in the woods but nothing like what the beginning of the book would make you believe. Since I really enjoy camping, hiking, survival skills, and just nature in general, I was expecting more when it was first brought up. I think the cover is beautiful, though.
If you like the idea of nature more than the actual hardness of it then you might enjoy the setting. The story itself was nothing groundbreaking but was decent enough. If you enjoy stories where detective/police are looking to solve a crime this might be right for you. Although, personally I’m not big on them myself but this sounded good. If you like CSI or Law and Order this might be perfect for you.
