I fully understand that this is a novella, however, there was just too much going on for any of the characters or plot points to get the development that was needed to flesh out the story. 

Revenants starts off with a zombie horde coming for the cabin that Maddie and Pa live in and things just go off from there. In the span of a few pages, Pa is dead and Maddie realizes that she's likely the product of her dad raping her mom, who had died by suicide several years previous. I felt like that was a lot to drop in without any additional exploration. I think if this could be developed further or expanded there is definitely something there, but as-is, was a tough read for me despite its brevity. 

Thank you very much to NetGalley and BDA Publishing for the advanced copy.
