Many thanks to NetGalley and GP Putnam's Sons for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful debut thriller by Allie Reynolds. Wow - 5 stars for a book that I couldn't put down!
Milla arrives at LeRocher, a ski resort in the French Alps, cautiously excited about seeing the group of friends again that she competed with 10 years ago. A lot happened to the group then and Milla is still keeping secret about her role in those events. When the group assembles in the resort and takes part in an icebreaker game, they realize that they are all holding secrets. At the center of those secrets is Saskia, who vanished 10 years ago and has just been declared dead. The group has lost their cellphones and there is no one else around at the resort. So who can they trust? Definitely not each other.
This book is written with alternate chapters taking place 10 years ago and in the present time. It's hard to believe this is a debut novel - each chapter ends with a sort of cliffhanger storyline that you are desperate to get back to. Just like all the characters in the story, you will question each one and wonder who is responsible for what. Add to that the stark frigid atmosphere of being in the French Alps at a deserted resort during a winter snowstorm and you will not be able to put this book down! Highly recommended - I can't wait to read more from this author!
