I bought this book partly for the cover and because the synopsis sounded like something I'd really like. But this book definitely wasn't what I was expecting, and to be honest, if I hadn't been listening to the audiobook I probably would have DNF. I would say that it took a while to get into the story, but I'm not really sure I was ever "into it," honestly. I already have The Night Country, so I will eventually read that to see where she takes the story. But it's not likely something I will ever be rereading.
