Where the Dead Wait by Ally Wilkes
4.25
Suffering doesn't make you noble, or any greater. It's impossible to measure one cup against another. It just means you've suffered.
Where the Dead Wait by Ally Wilkes
QUICK SUMMARY
William Day should be a known Arctic explorer, but after a failed expedition where their only means of survival was eating the dead, he is a disgrace.
Thirteen years Larter he is given a second chance when his second in command, Stevens, has gone missing in the same waters they were stranded in thirteen years earlier. Day is given the chance to restore the tarnished reputation by bringing Stevens back home.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Slooooooow burn gothic horror novel. Need I say more?
But seriously, I had heard a lot of conflicting reviews on this book, but I'm a sucker for slow burn horror and gothic novels. I was not disappointed.
What I was disappointed in was the lack of chapter division, very long chapters but each one had multiple time line shifts which could have easily been multiple chapters within the one big chapter.
