I think if you're intimidated by The Terror and enjoyed the movie The Thing, then you'll like this book. It shares a lot of the same themes as those two stories, but is written for New Adults.

The thing I really didn't like was the jumping back and forth. It rarely announced itself, and made it a bit confusing to read. There would also be parts where it's assumed you know what the characters movements are when it's never stated. For example, someone is grabbing tea and there is a person behind them. Then, that person is suddenly in front of them and the person who was grabbing the tea is now teleported to where they originally were. The 2nd act of the book also gets pretty repetitive and can make for slow reading.
