Publisher's Summary

When Christa joins a tour group heading deep into the snowy expanse of the Rocky Mountains, she's hopeful this will be her chance to put the ghosts of her past to rest. But when a bitterly cold snowstorm sweeps the region, the small group is forced to take shelter in an abandoned hunting cabin. Despite the uncomfortably claustrophobic quarters and rapidly dropping temperature, Christa believes they'll be safe as they wait out the storm.

She couldn't be more wrong. Deep in the night, their tour guide goes missing...only to be discovered the following morning, his severed head impaled on a tree outside the cabin. Terrified, and completely isolated by the storm, Christa finds herself trapped with eight total strangers. One of them kills for sport...and they're far from finished. As the storm grows more dangerous and the number of survivors dwindles one by one, Christa must decide who she can trust before this frozen mountain becomes her tomb.

An actual whodunnit!

It's so nice when a book comes along that checks all the boxes: Closed circle, isolation, whodunnit. This one did, and was exactly the claustrophobic winter read I was after.

Darcy Strikes Again (eh oo)

Excellent! Gripping. Sad. Powerful. Once I started this one I could not stop. I've always been a Darcy Coates fan but this has worked its way to the top spot. I found I grew attached to a good chunk of the characters (I rarely do that in novels), their individual personalities coming through the pages. I had chills at many chapters and made audiable gasps far to often than I'd like to admit with this book. Highly recommended.

Good twists

Liked the plot and the twists, but made the connection quick before the reveal. Started off as a slow burn for me, but picked up more in the middle. Honestly, I think it was the narration that took away from the novel. The narrator isn’t that bad by any means, albeit too whiny-toned at times, but it just seemed like it wasn’t the right fit for the story. I think I may have enjoyed this one more if I read it instead.

Struggling to keep going.

I'm finding this story very slow, 4 hrs in, and I'm wishing it would just get going already, or be over. I'm noticing the inconsistencies in the story instead of enjoying it. The narrator's voice is monotonous, it never changes pace or inflection and I find my mind wandering away over & over. I don't know if I'll finish, that rarely happens to me. Wish I hadn't purchased this one on a daily deal.
