Abandon

I could've dnf'ed tbh

Hot Mess Alert

Little House On The Prairie meets Ravenous meets Cliffhanger meets The Revenant meets The Descent.

I fell asleep at least 10 times while reading this book, and it says something.

One of the better stories I have read this year.

A very interesting story told from compelling points of view. Part of the story takes place in the old west while another takes place in what is present day. And talk about a cutthroat group of people in both times... wow!

Aside from the Harry Potter series, I usually don't reread books, but Abandon is definitely worth reading over and over again.

A great thriller with such a fabulous setting. Crouch's research into the area's history (which is sprinkled throughout his fictional storyline) makes this story one of a kind.

Like a few of the reviewers here I thought this was going to be a supernatural tale. In fact it's a straightforward thriller but one that's pretty well told.

I did have some issues with following the construction of certain paragraphs to understand exactly who the “he” or “she” in question was.

Nevertheless it was a page turner and the two parallel stories covering present day and 1893 did converge nicely. Pretty solid overall.
