"This tense wire of a novel thrums with suspense. . . . [this book] just might be the highlight of your summer."-The New York Times
Cheryl Strayed's Wild meets The Revenant in this heart-pounding story of survival and revenge in the unforgiving wilderness.
After: Jess is alone. Her cabin has burned to the ground. She knows if she doesn't act fast, the cold will kill her before she has time to worry about food. But she is still alive-for now.
Before: Jess hadn't seen her survivalist, off-the-grid dad in over a decade. But after a car crash killed her mother and left her injured, she was forced to move to his cabin in the remote Canadian wilderness. Just as Jess was beginning to get to know him, a secret from his past paid them a visit, leaving her father dead and Jess stranded.
After: With only her father's dog for company, Jess must forage and hunt for food, build shelter, and keep herself warm. Some days it feels like the wild is out to destroy her, but she's stronger than she ever imagined.
Jess will survive. She has to. She knows who killed her father…and she wants revenge.

Loved every second of this book

I’m not sure if it counts as a thriller but I’ll refer to it as one
The way the author was able to keep the story interesting, suspenseful and thrilling with just one person (and a dog) for the most part is just amazing.
It also felt sooo authentic! I never thought 'hm, that doesn’t seem possible' or 'that injury couldn’t have had these effects', etc. It felt very real, and on more than one account I asked myself how I would’ve dealt with a situation. If I could’ve handled it or not.
It just felt so close to life that I actually don’t think you can read this without asking yourself whether or not you would be able to survive in those circumstances, and ponder some other hard moral questions.
The storyline itself makes it feel wrong to say that I enjoyed reading the book, yet I did. The author’s style of writing was right up my alley and I read whenever I had a few minutes to spare - coffee brakes, lunch time, home after work.
I can recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading mystery and/or thriller. Though I think it’s not too overbearing on the thriller side, so I think this could be a good book to get your toes in and test the waters (it's not as cold as the lake in the story ).
