Oh yes!!! Give me anything where the main character is trying to survive and fight for their life and I’ll eat it up! 
Put them in the winter / snowy setting and I’ll ask for seconds 😅 Love that kind of stuff! 
This was full of tension and suspense, a woman fighting to survive in the Arctic and at the same time she’s dealing with a loss of her loved ones.
Good twist at the very end too!

This is a place that was simply not designed for humans to exist in.

Whiteout by R.S. Burnett is a chilling, gripping, atmospheric thriller. It's well written and very easy to read and follow. I read this in less than twenty-four hours.

The book is narrated mostly through the eyes of Rachael(our FMC). Throughout the book, I found myself unable to relate to her character. I found her extremely unlikeable, and a lot of her decisions were downright foolish. Due to that fact, I found it hard to conjure up any form of sympathy for her character.

What really kept my attention was the storyline. I found it immersive and hard to put down. It was unsettling and unnerving. Despite there being an obvious human threat, the author fully captures the more serious threat of human nature. Skillfully, through the use of words, the author was able to convey just what these characters were up against.

The twist was a bit unexpected. My mind was going in a completely different direction. So, when it came along, I was pleasantly surprised.
Overall, this was a good read. I love isolated and snowy settings, so this was the perfect read for me. I would've enjoyed it more if I liked Rachael's character.

Thank you to Netgalley, HarperCollins UK, and R.S Burnett for my y eARC of this book. All opinions are my own. Pub Date: February 13th. <\u>

Great story which got better as you read on, however some of the dialogue was quite predictable and corny. I did however, enjoy!
