A fictionalized account of the Donner tragedy. Interesting, well written. Not sure the fictionalization was any better than the actual story. A 3.5 stars at best.

Final #roll100 read for June and I really enjoyed this slightly-supernatural reimagining of the Donner Party - something I knew nothing about prior and found extremely interesting! A slow burn but that helped ratchet up the tension - really enjoyed it!

I really liked this one. A historical fiction horror about the Donner Party.

"He insisted that "The Donner Party was responsible for its own misfortune."" Yeah, but is he wrong, Elsie?
