Content Warnings
Graphic: Death
I rated Breathless 3.5/5 stars!
Journalist Cecily Wong has the assignment of a lifetime: she's set to interview famous mountaineer Charles McVeigh at the summit when he concludes a series of record-breaking climbs. She's counting on reaching the top with him and publishing her work, because her life savings and job prospects are on the line. A freak accident kills one climber, then another accidents kills a second, and Cecily thinks there is danger on the mountain beyond the elements.
Content warnings for death, violence, murder, dangerous situations, and related topics. I really liked the premise of this novel. I liked the setting and the secondary characters, but I wish they had gotten a little more development. The pacing was a little slow for me, and then the ending was abrupt. I would have preferred less in the middle and more at the end. The unreliable narrator aspect was really interesting, I thought it worked well! Even with my issues, it was still a good read!

THIS WAS FRICKING AMAZING!
The setting, the characters, the plot and the mystery - full points to every damn thing!
I loved this storyline - mountain climbing - it was something different and I hadn't read before anything like this so it was an amazing new experience. Cecily was a great character and so were everyone on Charles' team.
With every chapter my suspiscions kept shifting among different characters and that is what kept me hooked for it's entirety. I simply couldn't put down the book without knowing what actually was happening!
It was a great read for me personally and I can't give it anything less than 5 stars!
