This Wretched Valley

The dog lives, don’t worry. This was an overall meh read for me, I finished it because I was curious how everyone met their end but I could and should have just DNF’d. For me, a lot of this just didn’t work, all of the characters grumbled and said f*ck every other sentence, no one really felt fully fleshed out. Justice for Sylvia tho, she was the only one I liked. I also wish instead of the completely pointless and unnecessary flashbacks we spliced what happened to the characters with maybe online forums, armchair detectives, trying to unravel the mystery. I feel like that would have been more fun? 3 stars tho because the climbing scenes genuinely had my heart POUNDING, I thought those parts were written very well. Not bad for a debut but a lot of room for improvement.

I literally could not put this book down. Highly recommend this book to any horror and mystery fans.
