First off, that cover!!!! How fantastic is that? I love it! This Wretched Valley was inspired by the Dyatlov Pass incident. If you are interested in learning more about the Dyatlov Pass, I recommend reading Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident. In this survival horror book, Clay, a geology student, has invited Sylvia, his research assistant, Dylan, a social media star rock climber, and Luke, Dylan’s boyfriend to join him in climbing and exploring an untouched cliff face he has discovered in the Kentucky wilderness. Seven months later, three bodies were discovered. Dylan’s body is missing. Is she still alive? Where is she? What happened in that Wretched Valley?
What indeed! Many reviewers have mentioned this, and I agree, this book would make a great movie. It’s a book about an area that the locals do not have good feelings about. I wonder why!?! What happened to the curious experienced climbers? It feels as if the synopsis of the book gives everything away, but there is more going on in this book.
This book had a creepy uneasy vibe. I enjoyed the POV’s of the characters and the feel of the book. While it didn’t knock my socks off, I did find it to be enjoyable. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the narration.
Entertaining, creepy and a good listen. Would make a great movie.
