Publisher's summary

Mila and her husband Ethan are on their way to her sister’s wedding at a luxurious ski resort. As they drive through the mountains, surrounded by snow covered forests, Mila feels like everything is finally going to plan.

When the car engine suddenly stops and won’t start again.

Stranded, with night closing in, they make their way on foot back to where they saw a sign for some cabins.

When they finally reach them, they find the windows boarded up and the buildings in disrepair. They have the eerie sense they shouldn’t be there.

With snow falling more heavily, they have no choice but to break into one to spend the night.

In the morning when Mila wakes, Ethan is gone.

Now she is all alone.

Or is she?

A totally gripping and spine-tingling psychological thriller with twists and turns that will leave you breathless. Fans of The Sanatorium, The Hunting Party and The Castaways will be completely hooked from the start until the final, shocking conclusion.

Entertaining mystery with perfect narration

This was an entertaining mystery. Even though I figured out what was happening about 30 minutes into the book, the story was told in a way that still maintained my interest. Narrator was perfect for the characters as well. If you’re looking for a quick listen worthy of your credit, you won’t go wrong with this one.

Suspenseful

I liked this book. It kept you wondering what was going to happen next. Good job on narrator.

Ok

This book was entertaining enough, but the villain was obvious, and the motive not believable. As others have said, the title doesn’t fit the book.

Addendum…

I just wrote my review but did forget to say the story did have some twists and turns, but when i thought I figured out the culprit, i had to change my thinking. It was so worth the read to the ending! Well done.

Crazy Mixed Up

I really did not like the story. It boggles the mind. Hard to believe it.

Couldn’t put it down!

I wanted to hurry and get to the end as it kept me on the edge on my seat. Great characters, great voice.

Very Enjoyable. Atmospheric & Captivating

Best thriller I've read in a while. Not predictable, and not because the author didn't give enough information, nor because she threw out red herrings, but because it was just well written. There were even a couple times when I almost considered the twist, but dismissed it because the clues just didn't quite seem significant enough. In hindsight, they were just significant enough when added up, but no one clue alone would have given it away.

I usually don't give domestic thrillers 5 stars, and this one isn't QUITE 5, but it's solid enough to be a 4.5, and I'd rather round up than down because I enjoyed it that much.

Dragged on…

I’m sorry but this was just boring! Wasn’t until the end of the book until something interesting happens.

Oddly repetitious…

… like a sophomore lit student trying to make the word count on an essay. The sisters plot was heartwarming, but there are better who/how dunnits.

Couldn’t finish it C-

It was ok - but i tried a few times & just couldn’t get into it - it was sci-fi more than mystery
