January, 1937. Twenty-eight-year-old Jack is poor, lonely and desperate to change his life. So when he's offered the chance to be the wireless operator on an Arctic expedition, he jumps at it. Five men and eight huskies, cross the Barents Sea from Norway by the light of the midnight sun. At last they reach the remote, uninhabited bay where they will camp. Gruhuken. But the Arctic summer is brief. As night returns to claim the land, Jack feels a creeping unease. One by one, his companions are forced to leave. He has to decide, stay or go. Soon he will see the last of the sun, the point of no return - when the sea will freeze. And Gruhuken is not uninhabited. Something walks there in the dark.

Rezension von Raphaela Eigentlich hat die Geschichte alles, was ich liebe. Eine abgelegene Location, alte Geheimnisse,unwirtliche Natur... aber die Erzählstimme funktioniert für mich einfach nicht. Sie passt nicht zu dem Charakter und in die Zeit, was die Geschichte einfach extrem mühseelig zu lesen macht und auch das Erzähltempo will einfach nicht so recht passen. Man hat das Gefühl, die Autorin versuche die Geschichte künstlich in die Länge zu ziehen. Vermutlich soll es dem Spannungsaufbau dienen, was aber einfach nicht gelingen will, so dass man als Leser einfach nur Seite um Seite wartet, bis sich Autor und Protagonist dem zu Beginn angedeuteten Schrecken stellen.
Rezension von RojdaGut, dass ich mich niemals in so einer Situation wiederfinden würde. Creepy 🫣🖤
