Narrated by: Brenda Scott Wlazlo

For Dr. Siena Dupont and her ambitious team, the Alpenglow glacier expedition is a career-defining opportunity. But 30 miles into the desolate Deadswitch Wilderness, they discover a missing hiker dangling from a tree, and their satellite phone fails to call out.

Then the body vanishes without a trace.

The disappearance isn’t the only chilling anomaly. Siena’s map no longer aligns with the trail. The glacier they were supposed to study has inexplicably melted. Strange foliage overruns the mountainside, and a tunnel within a tree hollow lures Siena to a hidden cabin, and a stranger with a sinister message….

Holden Sharpe’s IT job offers little distraction from his wasted potential until he stumbles upon a decommissioned hard drive and an old audio file. Trapped on a mountain, Dr. Siena Dupont recounts an expedition in chaos and the bloody death of a colleague.

Entranced by the mystery, Holden searches for answers to Siena’s fate. But he is unprepared for the truth that will draw him to the outskirts of Deadswitch Wilderness—a place teeming with unfathomable nightmares and impossibilities.

Great set up, fun twists

This was a lot of fun to read. Don’t let me fool you, it is creepy and has some excellent thriller elements. I loved the characters and the twists, which I genuinely did not see coming most of the time. A mix of science fiction and supernatural that works well together. Definitely recommend.

Good multi-media story

Fun start to this story. Ended up on the book website and trying to figure out the stuff coming next.

questionable audio quality

the story, from what I could catch, was very intriguing. I listen to books while doing loud activities. this is the first book that I have had issues with. the book itself seems fine but the audio volume balance is off and the narrator comes off quiet most of the time.

So very well written

The book is a marvel of realty and other worlds
Moves fast with so many characters that flavor the total story

Read this

I really enjoyed this book, it scratches an itch for something like the tv show yellowjackets but with a focus on the cool spooky strange woods aspect
