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.

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.

questionable audio quality

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.

Great set up, fun twists

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

First, as always I start with the narrator. I admit when I first heard her voice I thought I wasn't going to really appreciate her because of her very soft tone,but as the story went on, she was very clear and concise.

The story started off very interesting and I was really getting into it especially when some weird things started to happen, but I do have to admit it became, for me, a little muttled and I was confused as to what was actually going on... however towards the end I kind of became aware of the situation.
It ends on a cliffhanger, so I definitely will be diving into the second part of the story to see where this cosmic horror will end up!

Cosmic Confusion

Great writing, great idea, the execution of it was a bit confusing. These are side stories that we never get to understand why they were told at all, adding nothing to the plot. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Dark and confusing

She forgot to write the last act of the story. Brenda Scott Wlazlo needs to stop producing her recordings in her home studio and let a professional mix her sound. The recording is a hot mess. Barely intelligible in many places.

Honestly, it’s hard to believe this is the first published book by this author. It’s excellent. The story has a great hook and it keeps you thinking the whole time. Very few cosmic style horror books are anything more than a homage to Lovecraft but this one is doing its own thing. It kind of reminds me of House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski in some aspects but only a little. It kind of reminds me of The Breach by Nick Cutter but again, only a little.

It’s a vivid and complex weave and I can’t wait until the next book in the series.

One of the best books I’ve listened to in a long time

The premise of the story sounded incredibly intriguing and for the first 2/3 of the book it held my attention. Then things took an existential, esoteric turn, which I was still on board for but the payoff was basically nonexistent. As the title of this review says there’s a lot of buildup to a whole lot of nothing.

Big build up to not much
