Just finished The Reddening by Adam Nevill. Felt like it was approximately 200 pages too long and while it's not the worst the way he writes women is just... Not it. I really enjoyed the scenery and his nature descriptions though. Might give some of his other books a go just for that. Put Between Two Fires on my want to read list, gonna get some sci-fi in first though.

It starts strong but turns into a really stupid mash-up of concepts like the author was fishing for something interesting to write about

It also becomes super predictable? Of course the weird folk music guy is involved, of course Kat ends up being consumed by the red and magically pregnant. It's just not very surprising and it goes on for SO LONG.
