In an apocalyptic near-future world, a mother and her two small children are followed as they make their way down a river, blindfolded, in order to avoid seeing a terrifying entity. The plot contains profanity and graphic violence.

The book is tense and there's a constant level of anxiety. Until I learned that there's a sequel. That absolutely deflated the only thing keeping me interested, so I checked it back into the library.

The beginning definitely gave me Covid-19 parallel vibes, everyone downplaying a serious thing until it became pandemic.
