What I loved
The absolute creepiness of it all.  The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat, so even though I felt like the book dragged a bit, I couldn't stop reading. I had to know what was going to happen to Felix and Faye.  

What I didn't love
Killing off several of the Indigenous folks helping Felix and Faye didn't sit right with me.  I also thought the ending wrapped up too neatly.
