There was some really tight writing in this one, but for some reason the story didn't grab me like I really wanted it to.
I did finish it, and it was enjoyable, and there were some REALLY creepy parts in it...like, seriously some of the creepiest scenes I've read in a book before (I'll never look at an elk the same), BUT....I love books I get lost in. Stories that are so immersive I forget I'm even reading, that make the rest of the outside world fade away a bit.
This was not that.
I was very conscious of my reading a book. Conscious of what page I was on and what my progression was. It was good enough to keep me going, but not so transportive that I lost myself in it. It felt a little like work.
It was still a satisfying read and I would still read another by this author - it really did have some great parts - the whole thing just didn't come together quite as strongly as I would have liked.
