Eight teens are trapped in a ski lodge in the middle of a blizzard with a killer on the loose.

Eight seniors who did not want to be on a four-day trip to a mountain in a ski lodge found themselves without internet access. Instead of embracing the situation, Eden, one of the seniors, drugs the chaperone and throws a party with the contraband alcohol they sneaked in. Unfortunately, the party takes a tragic turn when Declan, a former TikTok influencer and one of the seniors, dies. Soon after, the group begins to die one by one, indicating that there is a killer among them. Will they manage to survive and uncover the identity of the culprit?

The book I just finished was absolutely gripping and utterly impossible to set down! I devoured it in less than a week. It was my first foray into the thriller genre, and I was captivated by the challenge of trying to unravel the identity of the killer. It reminded me of the intense mystery-solving in Danganronpa, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Willa is a character I found incredibly relatable and endearing, and I couldn’t help but root for her. Declan’s larger-than-life personality was intriguing, and Delaney’s outward perfection left me questioning her true nature. Wyatt’s penchant for video games added an exciting layer to the story, while Eden’s dramatic tendencies kept things lively. Liam’s unwavering loyalty was put to the test, and Camille’s prickly demeanor added a dynamic twist. Lastly, Piper’s enigmatic personality and sharp intellect drew me in.

Give this book to fans of thrillers who are intrigued by a thriller with a revenge best served cold.
