At first I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book. The book starts off with Sadie and Lucas who are both gym rats. Not an issue really but when the book first started there was a good amount of description into their gym habits and it wasn't something that I was looking forward to continuing reading. It thankfully didn't continue throughout the whole story. I also immediately realized that I didn't like Lucas.

This book is unsettling, fast-paced, and pretty gripping. I wasn't completely blown away by the character dialogue but it was bearable. There are some unlikable characters within this book but there were some satisfying endings. I loved the eerie air that this story had. While reading, I just kept waiting for something bad to happen. I knew it was coming but I wasn't exactly sure what it would be or when.

This book had two timelines: a before and a present day. It was done really well and there wasn't any confusion while switching between the two. It felt seamless and both timelines added to the story. I loved the deer woman and the unease that her appearance brought.

This was overall a fun and quick read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Creature Publishing for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
