Synopsis

When Ryne Burdette inherits his family's old hunting cabin deep in the Yukon wilderness, he wants to say no. Nothing much is left in that place except for unpleasant memories and the smoke of old burns. But after a tragic year, he sees a weekend trip to the cabin with his best friends as a way to recuperate and begin again. But there is something strange about these woods. As a winter storm moves in, the animals begin acting strangely, and the natural laws of the wilderness seem to fall apart. Then, the soft voices start whispering through the trees. Something is watching them. As the storm gets worse and the woods get darker, the three friends must dive into the darkest waters of the Burdette family lineage. Because the horrible truth is deep, resting in the shadowed places no one wants to look.

Contains mature themes.

I see a lot of great reviews for this book, which is awesome! I'm glad people are enjoying it. But unfortunately it missed the mark for me. All I kept thinking while reading was the old adage 'Show, don't tell'. There was a lot of telling in this, leaving me feeling very little toward the characters......more
