Not only does the crummy conditions of a strenuous hike test the strength of two best friends, but poop really hits the fan when things go from bad, to worse, to horrifying. Once it begins to grip you, it really grabs on! I finished this book in a day, because I couldn't put it down. Thank you for an amazing journey! Thriller-wise not bad, but suffered from a severe lack of motivation on the villain's part. Why were they evil? Unclear. I was not impressed with the Bear Ex Machina. in addition to the human horrors this book was horrifying from a camping safety perspective. The girls were far too inexperienced to be doing a hike like this, and the fact that an experienced camper like Josie's brother let her go is unbelievable to me. Even without the introduced hazzards of humanity the trip alone was already putting them in mortal danger. They went to sleep wearing the same jeans they had hiked in (never get into sleeping bag wearing sweaty clothing, much less cotton sweating clothing), they werent drinking enough water, they didnt follow bear protocols, and they were relying on their phones to keep a charge for gps...the list goes on. I know its easy to judge the actions of others when Im not in the situation myself but Im still gonna judge. no reviews | add a review

I’m not an outdoorsy person, but this just about seals the deal that hiking and camping are off the list permanently.

I wasn’t sure I would love this at first— I mean, it was really annoying the way these girls acted towards each other for the first third of the book. I get that friends bicker and that these girls were going through a change with their friendship, but I didn’t enjoy being along on a journey where they basically hated each other.
After stuff started going down, this book got good!! I had to finish it at that point because I did not want this stuff in my head for a prolonged period of time.
I wished the ending was longer. I wanted to know what happened with everyone.
Definitely recommend to horror lovers- it is really graphic and scary, so do not read it if you don’t like that stuff. ( )
