It doesn't take long for this book to jump into the spooks and jump scares. Mysterious things moving under a tent. Scratching sounds and menacing shapes. Vines that act like tentacles and grab hold of people. Yeah, not only does it get spooky, it gets weird. The strangeness of the threat does not work in the book's favor. Neither does the bickering interplay between the characters. What starts as realistic interactions looses the sense of reality as the danger grows. While there are some interesting elements at play, ultimately the book was a little too far from reality for my tastes.
