I really liked the setting of this book. It takes place in Siberia along the Kolyma Highway, also known as the Road of Bones. This highway also has one of the coldest reported towns in the world located along its trail. All those little facts entwine in a fictional account that left me frosty even reading it on a hot summer's day.
We journey with two friends that are out there to make a documentary about this frigid, ghostly place. Along the way they pick up a guide and later on another passenger. After that, things go crazy.
The best part for me in this book was Golden's suspenseful writing. It left a chill in my bones. Especially when they hit the town they were destined for. My heart thudded with anticipation and terror. I would say that once we find out what is haunting the town, I was a bit let down and wasn't quite as scared anymore but the story kept going and I kept enjoying. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending. Although, the book could've been more for me, it ended up still being a great read.
