The Lost Village is a terrifying gothic novel. A group of friends go to explore this literally lost village and supernatural events begin happening. Is it truly paranormal or is one or more of the friends doing this?

Don't read at night.

What a fun horror story! Blair Witch Project brought up to date in the form of a podcast. A group making a documentary go to visit a village where the entire population disappears but they have a personal connection to. Eerie in a lot of ways, the Lost Village was a very enjoyable read!!

I was so excited by this book! I had heard such incredible things about it and was really eager to get swept away in a scary story. Unfortunately, I was not scared or horrified and could not even get emotionally invested in the characters. The story did not live up to the hype.

I could see this book becoming a movie....would it be among the great horror movies of all times, no, but it would be a spooky ride. While this isn't my favorite book and the reveal had me rolling my eyes, it wasn't the worst thing I've read either.

The synopsis set this book up to be epic. It did have an eerie vibe. It was dark and creepy. Some of the book was predictable, and I may have loved it more if I would have gone in blindly.

This book was a creepy book. I did enjoy it and I thought it was well written. I would definitely recommend this book!

I’m little late to the game reading this book, but it was definitely worth the read. The dual timeline keep the past and present run well together. The plot of the story was what pulled me in more and more as I read.

The Lost Village by Camilla Sten is a haunting and suspenseful thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Alice Lindstedt, a documentary filmmaker, has been obsessed with the vanishing residents of the old mining town, known as “The Lost Village,” since her childhood. Her grandmother's entire family disappeared in 1959, and the unanswered questions surrounding the only two people who were left have plagued her ever since.

Alice and her small crew set up camp in the remote village to make a film about what really happened, but soon they begin to experience strange and terrifying occurrences. As equipment is destroyed, and people go missing, Alice realizes they are not alone, and something sinister is happening in the Lost Village.

The author expertly weaves the past and present timelines to build a gripping and suspenseful narrative that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. The characters are well-developed and their fears and doubts feel real, adding to the tension of the story.

The Lost Village is a chilling and atmospheric thriller that will appeal to fans of mysteries, ghost stories, and horror. The author has created a vivid and eerie setting that will haunt readers long after they finish the book.

I loved this book! It's moody and atmospheric and creepy and thrilling. First off, the premise drew me in. A lost village with an attached mystery? Yes, please! If you like your thrillers with a tinge of the supernatural, you need to read this book!

A town where all the villagers have mysteriously went missing and years later a new crew comes in to do a documentary on the town and what really happened to everyone in the town dubbed as “the Lost Village.” ⁣

The summary of The Lost Village alone had me extremely interested in this novel and it reminded me a lot of the show and podcast of Limetown. When it comes to mysterious disappearances either true or fiction they completely fascinate me!⁣

I literally binged read this because I just had to know what happened to everyone and the ending truly shocked me. Overall read this because you will definitely enjoy it!

Extremely spooky, and I love books about documentaries gone wrong. I couldn't put this one down, and I loved the alternating timelines. Thanks to Netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Something truly terrible happened to the villagers of Silvertjarn in 1959. Over nine hundred citizens vanished without a trace leaving behind only two, a girl brutally murdered in the town square and a newborn baby left to fend for itself in the school's nurses office. Documentary filmmaker Alice Lindstedt's relatives were among the missing and she is determined to solve the mystery of what happened there. Having her grandmother's letters to her sister and mother who both vanished all those decades ago to guide her, Alice pulls together a team to go to the abandoned town to research content for their film. But once they arrive they soon realize that someone...something...or maybe the village itself doesn't want them there. Accidents start to plague the crew. Equipment is destroyed. People start to disappear. As fear and suspicion creeps over the group they soon begin to question if they are truly alone in Silvertjarn or if the dangers that plagued the village never really left. I have to be honest, I am not a fan of horror books, movies, whatever. The fact that this is plugged for fans of "Blair Witch" should have been my first indication to run but I kept on. "The Lost Village" was really such a page-turner...until the end. The is it/isn't it paranormal vibes just didn't quite hit the mark for me but the mystery aspect of it had me gripped. I love podcasts and documentaries so I could see this having a real market to get optioned into a series or movie at some point. Thriller/horror/mystery fans should give this one a try. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I had so much hope for this story. The synopsis did not hold up to the actual story presented in this book.

Wow, this one was such a creepy read and I loved every moment about it. The pacing was slow, really letting you get the know the characters both past and present and really settle in to the unsettling atmosphere. I love a good read about a creepy abandoned town and this totally did not go the direction that I expected it to. Highly recommend!

A great read by this author. I definitely recommend checking this one out!

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martins Press for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review. What a creepy and chilling story. I couldn't put it down, had to know more! I can't wait to read more books by this author. Keep the creepy stories coming!

This had such a strong premise and start that it made up for the ending, which felt like it was wrapping up too many ends to make sense. Fantastic worldbuilding, though.

4.5/5!

The Lost Village is my second read from Camilla Sten and I can easily say she’s officially on my auto-buy list. Sten has a great knack for building atmospheric stories filled with dread and unease. It’s clear early on that there is something wrong with the village that Alice and her film crew have set up camp in. Instead of being a straightforward answer on what is causing that feeling of unease, Sten sends the reader, along with her characters, on a series of suspicious conclusions until an epic reveal. I loved how methodical and precise this unraveling felt.

While this book might be about a crew making a documentary, it actually felt like a found footage style horror movie. I was on my seat,nervous, and even jumpy right along with the crew throughout the entire story. Adding another layer of depth, Sten also provides a past timeline narrative that gives readers a first hand account of what truly happened in the village. I loved the way everything connected and wrapped up at the end of the story. Truly a chilling piece of psychological suspense!

A huge thank you to Minotaur Books for my gifted copy!

3 stars for now. I’ll update my review once I finish reading.
