Fairly good start before the weird ending (0 more)

Rather odd and open ended (0 more)

I don't know

A Sci-Fi Horror that starts fairly well but has a rather odd ending that might leave you scratching your head.
A weird shimmer zone appears around a light house and appears to be expanding. Scientist's are not sure what to make and any expeditions into the area do not return.
More traditional Horror to start with as a team of female scientist's enter the area and encounter some strange biological difference's in the plants and animals.
Sadly the ending was very different and odd that's left to your own reasoning as to what it's about. Won't be for everyone.

Kudos

A servant girl flees colonial Jamestown, leaving behind starvation, hardship and something even worse. She has to survive in the wilderness with only her wits and a few possessions.

This book was breathtaking - the whole story is told through the thoughts of a servant girl (in the 3rd person). Yet it doesn’t, at any point, become boring. There’s so much going on: her escape, her methods of survival, the people and animals she nearly meets along the way, the landscape and its contrast to the squalor of “civilised” life left behind in Jamestown. You can feel her desperation to get away, he wonder at what she sees and her drive to survive.

Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough.
