They both have demons from their past figuratively haunting them. Plus the relationship between Prentiss and Teig really worked for me. I really liked Nari the best, as her introduction gives the reader several reasons to write her off as materialistic, but she proves to be a force to be reckoned with. There are some moments to breathe between the starts and stops of being chased by cryptids, most of which are used to explore the characters deeper.

Really spooky and kept me rooted to the audiobook just to find out what happens next and how the different emotional threads and character arcs resolve.

Until something dark and hungry comes out of the woods and leads these desperate men through a high octane chase across a landscape designed to kill all who enter it. The sordid and haunted history behind the Kolyma highway seems to be a great backdrop for a new paranormal investigation series. Content warnings: gore, suicide and suicidal ideation, discussion of gulags, gun violence, violence against animalsįilmmaker Teig and his cameraman Prentiss are searching for a hit that would bring them out of financial doldrums after several failed reality television projects.
