Synopsis:
One isolated cabin. One cheating boyfriend. One plan to get even.
When Nora, Ruby, and Cham discover that they’ve each been dating the same man, what starts as outrage quickly spirals into a plot for revenge. Together they hatch a plan to lure their boyfriend to a romantic getaway in a secluded cabin at the top of a snow-covered mountain.
Only what was meant to be harmless payback soon takes a chilling turn when their not-so-adoring boyfriend is found dead in the cabin.
Stranded and snowed in, the women begin to look at each other with increasing suspicion. And as tensions rise, hidden motives come to light. To survive, each woman must confront her own demons as they fight to uncover if one of them is the killer, or if something else lurks in the freezing wilderness, waiting to pick them off one by one.
Review:
This was such a fun thriller and one I’d absolutely recommend for Summerween or to save for your fall TBR. The isolated mountain cabin, relentless snowstorm, and growing sense of paranoia created the perfect creepy atmosphere, giving the whole book strong slasher vibes from beginning to end.
What immediately sold me was the premise. It has a John Tucker Must Die energy, with three women discovering they’re dating the same cheating jerk and teaming up for revenge. Of course, everything spirals spectacularly out of control, and watching the revenge plot unravel into complete chaos made this such an entertaining ride.
You’ll definitely have to suspend your disbelief as the story escalates, but I honestly didn’t mind because I was having so much fun. I loved the themes of female rage, empowerment, revenge, and the constant feeling that no one could be trusted. The frantic pacing and mounting paranoia kept me invested, making this a perfect popcorn thriller for readers who love over the top suspense with plenty of twists.
The audiobook was an absolute vibe. Since the story is told through multiple points of view, the multicast narration was the perfect choice and made each woman feel distinct from the others. Victoria Connolly, Stacy Gonzalez, Alexandra Hunter, and Gary Tiedemann all delivered fantastic performances, capturing the wide range of emotions the story demanded—from betrayal and anger to fear, suspicion, and desperation. It’s one I’d definitely recommend experiencing on audio.
