The Hunger by Alma Katsu: Ya gotta read it.

By SilverFocus1993

Honestly, I went into this with pretty low expectations and I ended up being really pleasantly surprised. It’s about the Donner Party—the famous wagon train crossing from Illinois to California in 1847 that got trapped in the Sierra Nevada, basically got wiped out, and then there was that whole cannibalism thing when people discovered them. (If you’re not American, you might know what I mean, but yeah.) The storytelling, the characters, and the writing were all really good. It’s definitely worth checking out—curious what other people think. Edit: I guess it’s not super popular here though? Either way, thanks to everyone who commented! :)
