What do you do when life gets too much? Your girlfriend may want to end things. Your job is in a holding pattern of transition. All in the midst of a pandemic. Kristof is stressed. Kristof needs a break.But when he arrives at the secluded cabin to relax, the cabin seems to have other ideas. Or is it his mind. Something is happening in that cabin, in those woods. Something is failing Kristof and making his relaxing week away anything but. What is happening? Why is it happening? Why now, and why Kristof?
It’s ok. I can see people enjoying this story, but it seemed a bit fast paced/rushed. The storyline is interesting and characters have good foundations, but the parts about the shadow figure were super quick. When I read books I enjoy atmosphere and a lot of tension leading up to scarier parts or main parts of the story. Dialogue between Kristoff and Marie is natural and flows well. The overall storyline is cool and there are a lot of good elements in the story, but I feel like it could be cleaned up a bit with more added to it. I also feel like it was more of a “telling” which takes away from the story and atmosphere. It reminded me a little of Stolen Tongues by Felix Blackwell, which I personally didn’t enjoy but if you’re a fan of Stolen tongues you will enjoy Kristoff too.
