i did not think i would enjoy this as much as i did. the characters were interesting and semi-flushed out (especially for a thriller). the plot was interesting, the twists and turns kept me guessing, and it was truly thrilling. i thought this was great to read in the winter.

This book had me on the edge of my seat and I binged it all in one day. I do caution anyone who wants to pick this up that there is some graphic images of violence, murder, and torture that definitely had me cringing. 
This book follows a girl who is trying to make it home through a snowstorm to be able to say goodbye to her dying mother. Her car can no longer make it through the blizzard in the mountains when she stops at a rest stop and meets four individuals also stranded there. When she goes outside for a moment she is stunned to find a child in a cage in one of the cars. This mystery had a lot of layers to it and some great twists that I did not see coming. It was very engaging and I was rooting for the main character through the entirety of the novel.

Wow. It takes a lot for me to be so committed to a book on a school night. I started it to help me fall asleep, but suddenly its 2 am and I'm sitting here, book closed, in pure shock. I wasn't amazed by the book in the beginning. It seemed standard and I was able to catch one of the twists right away but after that I was completely lost. My brain was tossed in every direction following this plot and my stomach turned with every moment of suspense. Every single character is a dumbass but goddamn if being a stubborn dumbass doesn't help you succeed.
