"A cautionary tale that was devastating and heartbreaking. An intimate look at the four main characters and how they dealt with knowing that the Elk Woman was coming for revenge. It was horrifying! "

"Really sad, really gory, but also a very good book that strikes at your heart, if you can handle all of the deaths."

"3.4⭐️s This is my fourth book by this author and I think I just don't like his writing style. I think this writing was more clever than the Don't fear the reaper trilogy, but it had similar ramblings where you aren't sure what's really happening until something supernatural hits you in the face. "

"I highly recommend reading this as an audiobook. Don’t be afraid to Google, “what is happening?”Its a little hard to follow at times. However, it’s probably probably the only horror novel I’ve read that was actually scary. The author makes it feel so real. I loved it! "

"I feel as though I’ve accomplished something after finishing this one. Normally a 300 page book is a one day affair, but this one took me almost 5 days. The author’s style was just not for me. I only trudged through it because of all the rave reviews and I just don’t get it"
