Darcy Coates books are like my comfort read because they are terrifying but you always love the protagonist. Wholesome girls in terrifying situations who are too trusting and somehow end up figuring stuff out.
This book was anything but comforting. The protagonist fit my expectations (I was so glad) but the scenario was my literal worst nightmare. Imagine being trapped in a tiny cabin with 9 or so strangers and they are being brutally killed off and hung from trees. It is storming and cold and you are afraid to run out of food. I would probably faint and make it easy for the murderer to get me. Luckily book protagonists aren't weak like that.
This book keeps getting more tense and then we get to the end and OMG I kind of wondered because this is my genre but I was still so shocked.
Thank you for the ARC. It made my day.

Christa and the strangers...lost in the winter...a killer is among them. Who will be next? Solving the puzzle of this intriguing mystery is not easy. This author is talented and gifted at writing a cannot put down thriller. This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and the author for this copy. I kept wondering what would happen next...red herrings threw me off the trail of the killer. Guessing just did not work for me. I had to think about who and what and when...enjoy this novel. It would make a great television series. Some parts of the book are horrific, and I skimmed over those details…they could have been less gruesome.

Good book! A bit gruesome but very good! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, Murder, serial killer, mystery and so many crazy twists and turns and absolutely crazy who done it! Shocking and I never would have guessed! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle! I highly recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I made the mistake of starting this book when I couldnt sleep one night..... and after I started, there was absolutely no chance I'd be sleeping any time soon. I've read a lot of books about people stranded in a cabin with a killer hut this is easily the best version of the story I've ever read. The twists do not stop coming. The book starts on a high and continues to keep up the pace throughout. And omg, reading this after dark had me terrified someone was about to burst into my bedroom. It is so so creepy! The tension is build steadily throughout, its not gory or relying on shock value, it just taps into those base human fears we all have and has every hair on your body standing on end. The characters were all really original and well written, the behaviours all made sense and weren't people running into danger just so they could be murdered. I was completed sucked in and held my breath more times than I can count. This will easily be one of the best books I've read this year. It's not a light domestic noir, this is one of those books that has you on the edge of your seat and you can't help but read through one more chapter. If you like mystery, thriller, horror, suspense or anything in between.... this is a must read.

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.
