There is so much going on in this book.  I would be intrigued one minute then frustrated by time shifts,   I would recommend this to older readers than mine.  Just not my style for me to love but I know others will definitely get into this book,

A trapped in the wilderness thriller that seems to be  Wallenfells go to has just enough intrigue to keep you guessing as the past and present meet resulting a bloody conclusion. 

“Deadfall” goes back and forth in time telling the story of twin brothers Ty and Cory trying to make a life with an absent mother and deadbeat dad whose get rich quick plans go from bad to worse. I’m the present, the brothers are in the woods in a stolen car when they come upon a crash with something darker lurking within the wreckage and have to work with what they’ve got in order to survive the night. 

This book has a full circle type feel to it where it ends and begins in a similar location but with very different emotions at play which I think was a nice way to wrap up the events of the novel which go from bad to worse as it plays with the idea that monsters are both people you expect and those who hide behind that of normality. I liked both brothers a lot though there was more focus on Cory than that of Ty but their relationship was really cemented in that of survival as they both grew up in an abusive household and had no one else to lean on but each other. 

Overall this book isn’t bad but it’s also not necessarily great? It has a lot of themes in it that are very grown up and for me that was fine but for a different and probably younger audience I’m not sure how suitable the subject matter would be but that’s not up to me to decide. 

**special thanks to the publishers and netgalley for providing an arc in exchange for a fair and honest review!**

I didn't find the narrative interesting. The story starts in the past, 16 months ago, and then jumps to the present. For some reason, I wasn't interested in the past though I know it was somehow tied to the present. 

In short, this book was not for me.
