Synopsis: When tragedy strikes, Rae makes a terrible choice and struggles with the aftermath. In the wilderness of the Tongass rainforest, she finds herself hunted by creatures of hell, monsters she never dreamed could be real.
A hidden world, an ancient race, and a secret she discovers by accident give a new meaning to her life but only if she can escape and return to civilization. If she is to survive, Rae must comply with Ari, her reluctant hero, and allow him to wipe away any memory of this realm. Knowledge is power, but is it worth dying for?
When push comes to shove, that's when real strength emerges.
Review: I really liked this book for the most part! The plot was intriguing and kept me interested in the book all the way through the novel. The world building was also very well done and the book is evenly paced.
However, the writing could have been a bit better. There was not a lot of showing in the writing, just a lot of telling. There also wasn't a lot of character development for me, just a lot of exposition.
Verdict: It's good still!
