James doesn’t have much, but at least he has his wife Rebecca and their son James Jr. Or so he thought.
Rebecca plans a camping trip for herself and Jr. for the same day James is served with divorce papers, in the hopes of helping her son understand her side. He sends the GPS coordinates to his dad so he knows where they are.

It doesn’t take long for the trip to go south. Something ransacks their camp and Rebecca goes to get water she breaks her leg. It’s up to Jr to send a message to the police for help. Jr is more into his books then his phone and when he gets to an empty rangers station, his battery is almost dead and he can’t get a call out with only one bar. He texts the only number stored in his phone, his dad. HELP.

Enlisting help from the only two men willing to go into the woods, James set’s out to rescue his family. It doesn’t take long for him to realize there is something in the woods and the two men don’t just know about it. They know who or better, what the creature is and they are planning to kill it with James’ help whether he wants to or not.

This book is written with each chapter from the POV of a different character. This style of writing usually takes me out of the story but somehow it works for this one. I really liked the reveal of the Wendigo and how it ties into the story.
