This was your average blizzard thriller. Was it well written? … sure. Did I care about any of the characters? Not really. 
It moved too quick for me to feel anything for them. But I guess that’s what you should expect in a thriller? Though the plot was not that interesting so as to make up for the lack of character depth and focus. 
Also, I found the ending really confusing. Like I still don’t know what happened. 
I would only recommend this if you’re looking for some entertainment but honestly there’s better thrillers out there.

This book could have been so much more if it didn’t rely on racism for the main villain. The story was fine, unbelievable at times, but nothing too crazy for thrillers. However, I had to stop myself from throwing the book across the room more than once at its blatant racism and the fact that it seemed like Taylor Adam’s has never met a women in his life, with how Darby was written.

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.
