I’m so proud of the author for facing probably the hardest thing he’s ever done in his life, writing a book and hoping people will read it. This book is not just for young readers, it’s for everyone. James Patterson was my first author I fell in love with and I devoured everything he wrote. I became disabled in my 20s and turned to books so I could get out of my head and forget about the pain. I’m 50 years old and disabled (handicapable, as my son, Christopher says).

I know this book is rated for young readers, as a James Patterson fan, I am now a fan of Jimmy Patterson and his team. I always knew I didn’t like camping and this book just proved to me that I will never do it again!! Unearned twists fuel a plot that feels hastily sketched, and a lack of stakes undercuts the action-packed, blood-soaked conclusion.

After an intriguing start, this gory teen horror novel from debut author Sarles succumbs to broadly drawn characters, manufactured drama, and improbable acts of cartoon violence. Shortly thereafter, people begin turning up dead, forcing Maddie and company to question whether the legend is real or if there's a killer in their midst. Caleb assures Maddie that it's fiction, but the next morning, the group finds antlers emblazoned in red on the side of one of their tents. She laughs off the scary stories that her aunt and brother tell around the campfire, until Caleb tells a truly terrifying tale about the Mountain People a community of feral men, women, and children who prey on hunters and hikers and carve antlers into their victims' foreheads.
