Huge thanks to Flatiron for an ARC
So excited that the new Feeney was my first read of 2024.
I loved that this one had a small cast of characters and is set in a remote setting. There was the perfect amount of eerie mood setting here to keep me hooked.
I liked the moving back and forth in the timelines so that I got to understand the story.
What I didn’t like:
- the use of the overused alcoholic, unstable main character trope
- some parts were obvious and a little too convenient
