I loved this book and was a little sad when I finished it. Not all authors can do the past and present stories well, but this one is seamless. I loved the 'past' story. As the book progresses the author does an amazing job of creating a terrifying atmosphere in the camp. He manages to tie the timeline from the past story into the developments if the present story in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

I really enjoyed this book, great storyline switching between two time periods, some grisly moments, twists and turns and a fab ending. Highly recommended.

I remember reading this book as a kid and I quite enjoyed it. However, reading it as an adult was a completely different story.
First of all it just dragged on and on even when the story was obvious. I still don't really understand how the angel/the voice came to Sam and how he survived given that they saw his body?
I did like the last part where Sam changed his name to Ben and that made sense as to why Shepherd was who he was.
Story was 90% too predictable and that is why I am giving it what I call a generous 2/5

Ehhh. Started out really strong and then just sort of veered off into "wuh?" territory. I felt the ending was a bit of a cheat.
