When someone offers big cash for an easy task, you would probably hesitate to accept it because it's weird. It looks like there's something fishy with the offer. I'll probably continue reading to know if Alex, Trevor, and Chad accept the offer. Kind of an interesting story.
Reading is a journey to the world.

This is a thought provoking novel with well built character representation. The reader would be kept attentive throughout reading. I liked David's character of friendship to Alex. I would like to try this book. Congrats on BOTD.

This sounds like a book that is worth reading. The plot is interesting, and the characters seem to be well-developed.

I think I’m probably going to have to pass on this book. Your review was well written and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, but I feel like I might be disturbed by some of the plot. I usually prefer much lighter reading. I think it’s an interesting premise and as you said, I would probably wonder what I would do in similar circumstances!

Choices, choices. Almost everything in life hinges on choices we make. I'd like to discover what those situations were and whether my choices would have been similar or opposite to those of the characters. Nice review.

I loved your review and how in-depth it was I especially loved the fact that you mentioned that the book’s plot is very character driven as it focuses on the characters and the choices they make and their relationships with each other.

I like that the focus here is entirely on characters and the choices they make carries the storyline further. All in all, it does seem like a chilling read. Thank you for the detailed review.

The plot sounds as though it could be interesting, and I like that the book focuses on the characters’ choices and the consequences. I also like that there’s a gay couple (hopefully there’s no issue with the “bury your gays” trope). It’s too bad about the failings in the development of Alex’s character and perspective. Thank you for the helpful review.

This seems to be quite an interesting and nerve wrecking kind of book that I would love to read. Thank you very much for such a great review. Definitely interested in reading this book. What would I do with 5 million dollars? Quite a temptation.

Thank you again for the review!!

I have to admit that my interest was piqued by the thought of a car breaking down near some snow-covered graves in an isolated cemetery. I look forward to checking this one out further!
