The Hunger is a retelling of the incidents surrounding the Donner party, but supernatural. It was good, with a lot of tense moments and some scary imagery. The author never comes right out and says what's attacking all of the travelers, but for me it was pretty easy to figure out early on. 

My biggest issue with this was that it felt like the whole story was building up to something, and then it just fizzled out. Right from the start we know that everyone's going to die, but it felt like it was leading up to some big event and it never happened. People just got picked off here and there and then the book ended.

It was still pretty enjoyable and I'd still recommend it, but probably something that won't stick out in my memory in the future.
