Review:

I really liked the setup for this one and especially the idea of being forced to trust and rely on a stranger or even more than one and found myself wondering throughout the book how I would react and what decisions I would make. Knowing that all of these people had some sort of secret they were keeping really had me switching back and forth on who was trustworthy and who wasn’t and as clues were slowly revealed I still never quite figured it out before things were over. This was a snappy read, very short but also incredibly fast paced with a lot of action packed in a small package and it begs to be read in a single sitting. It’s also perfect for this time of year if you’re a seasonal reader because it’s set during an epic snow storm which gives everything an added dangerous feeling. I always have fun with the authors books and I sure did here too!

Overall rating: 4/5
