I love the setup of the story, the main character's history, and the relationships between the characters. I like that the monster/creature in this book is different from what I normally read on. Recommend as a nice short read.

3.5 stars
This was fast-paced, entertaining, and mildly creepy. There were a couple of plot holes, but otherwise a solid read.

This was a really well done horror novel and worked well with the concept that I was looking for. The characters had that element that worked in the genre and was engaged with everything that I wanted. Erica Schaef was able to create a strong story and characters and I was glad I got to read this.

Scary! This was a short, fast-paced monster story. Perfect for this time of year for most people. Perfect any time of year for me. Even though it is short, the author manages to give a lot of backstory and create a world and a family I could picture and feel a part of. I was scared right along with our characters.

This was such a great read for Halloween and spooky season. This reminds me of The Criminson House movie. Gothic and thrilling

This was a fun novella! While I didn't really care for any characters, the plot was very engaging. Great read for Halloween!

Not my favorite novella. It was fine. Not scary or horrific in any way, in my opinion. 2 stars. I've read a lot of novellas and short, horror story but I guess this one was just not for me. I did not get a sense of the characters. I didn't particularly care when a character was killed. Just meh.

This had all the things I love in horror, I like Alot of horror but I love trapped too situations like this.

But is it haunted or is this just something all in Rachel's head?
This was a very quick read, but was exactly how it needed to be for the impact, Erica built the tension quick and kept it going and if this had been too long, I don't think it would have hit the same.

I finished this in one setting, I had to find out what was actually going on, because you can never trust the characters in books like this.

This is a high reccomend for me if you want a quick, tense, trapped in a isolated area read.
Short stories with actual plot and substance are few and far between lately, but this one was excellent.

This short novella packs a punch and manages to tell a story about family, friendship, and acceptance while a blood thirsty "something" stalks a family.

Set in a sprawling estate of sorts, a family gathers for the funeral of a matriarch. Among them is a woman who isn't related but is just like family as she was taken in almost as their own because of her neglectful mother.

A snowstorm buries them in cold and snow. Phones don't work, electricity is out, and their vehicles won't start. But this is the least of their problems as SOMETHING huge with wings begins hunting them one by one, leaving a blood stained path in its wake.

This story takes place on a single night and the action never ceases as the carnage ensues. Between these gruesome deaths, we'll learn more about the characters and whatever is hunting them.

This is a fantastic, short, and atmospheric novella which is perfect for a quick read alone in the dark. I highly recommend it.
