Terrible. Boring and predictable story line, underdeveloped characters that I couldn’t care less about. I only give it two stars because although the writing was pretty mediocre, it wasn’t painful. Don’t bother.

Utterly thrilling! Reynolds kept me guessing until the end.

I reaaaally didn't connect with this one: it felt like nothing happened, the stakes were really low for a long part of the book. I guessed the ending, which hardly ever happens, and all the characters were insufferable. The worst was when a character wanted to say something to the main girl and she kept leaving because she "knew what he wanted to say, there was only one thing it could be". Or not? She was extremely immature and getting worst and worst with every chapter.

What a perfect debut novel. When a group of friends take on skiing together they start training together. When one person goes missing their friendship ends pretty fast. Fast fwd to 10 years later they've been invited back for a reunion. No one is at the resort except them and things start to happen all over again. It was so good and boy was I wrong. Loved it!!

I mostly enjoyed this semi-locked-room thriller. But towards the end I had it all figured out, the climax wasn't really that surprising and don't even get me started on the ending.
