Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this book.
I really enjoyed this book!
It really kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next.
I will admit it was a bit weird reading it in the summer.
I would definitely recommend reading this book in the winter time though anytime of the year is really fine as the book is really good.

I thought this book was going to be a thriller and I guess it is but in a different kind of way. It’s mostly a book about survival and how it brings out the baser instincts in human beings

Six teens and one dog versus one major snowstorm. Who will win?

Starting this book in the height of summer might not have aided in my immersion in this snowy setting, but the synopsis was too intriguing for me not to want to immediately pick the book up and it proved too insanely good to stop reading once I had done so.

I love any isolated, snowy setting and this one proved no exception. It coated the area in a sinister mystery and kept the characters chained to one area. Both of these elements were only exacerbated by the somethings that were occasionally glimpsed at or heard, as they roamed among the snow-laden branches.

The characters themselves proved just as interesting to explore. Protagonist, Sam, introduced each from her own perspective and using her own prejudices. I loved how initially tropey each of them felt, only to reveal they each contained far more depth and personality than either Sam or I gave them credit for.

This was such a fun and suspenseful story, full of nuanced and authentic characters and a bucket-load of mysteries. It was the perfect, thrilling read and is definitely a book I can see myself returning to once the weather cools and I'm looking for an eerie read to devour on dark and chilly nights.

Thank you publisher and NetGalley for this advance ebook copy!

Ski Weekend by Ross was a fun new YA Mystery that had me intrigued and interested throughout the entire book! I enjoyed the characters and setting. The writing was really good. It drew me in immediately and held on.
A great, suspenseful, twisty turny mystery. Loved it, loved it, favorite book of the year for me.
If you want to read an outstandingly complex and suspenseful ?? mystery, this is the book you should read. 

Thank you again for this ebook!
I will post to platforms closer to pub date?.

This book in 3 words: Exciting. Dire. High-stakes.

Ski Weekend is about 6 teens, and 1 dog, all trying to get to a lodge for some senior fun. There's an accident before they're able to reach the destination and have to do their best to survive current and upcoming blizzards. Swipe for a full synopsis.

I love a survival story and this really hit the spot. Our main character, Sam, is brave and relentless. She is logical and tangible throughout the pages. I thought her growth through the story was fascinating, across all relationships - friends, romantic, siblings.This book is fast paced, with solid characters, and no lulls in the action.

I recommend this one, especially if you like survival fiction. Reads like this always make me think of how I would behave in a situation like this, and I always tend to learn a thing or 2.

Thank you to NetGalley and SparkPress for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ski Weekend takes what could be a very ordinary event and, through a combination of bad luck and poor judgment, turns it into a thrilling adventure where you know not everyone is going to survive but hope it won’t be as bad as you fear.
The book opens with six teens heading on a ski weekend. Sam and her younger brother, Stuart, and his best friend, Gavin, along with three other classmates and Gavin’s dog. The mood at the start is fairly typical - lighthearted joking with a bit of sniping - but when they learn the road is closed their decision to take a little-known shortcut brings about a horrifying set of circumstances.
Nine times out of ten, their actions would have ended just fine. This time, there’s a crash and they are stranded in the wilderness with a storm approaching and no way of contacting anyone. They settle down to sit out the time until someone comes to save them, but all too soon they realise that nobody knows they’re lost and they cannot guarantee anyone coming to rescue them.
After an initial attempt to scout for potential help, Stuart is injured. He gets sick, and as the storm draws in it is clear they are not all going to make it out alive.
While the characters involved are not all bound to survive, the way they are presented means we get to know them pretty well and find ourselves caring about them more than you might expect. The creeping sense of unease is ramped up until, finally, we know a difficult decision has to be made. Some of the details are a little more graphic than I’d have liked, but I was pleased that some of my fears about what could have happened to them did not come to pass.
Overall, this was a story that I found myself far more caught up in than I expected. I could certainly see this making a great movie, and I enjoyed the fact the characters were more fleshed out than is often the case in this kind of thriller/horror survival story.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this in advance of publication.
