The twists and turns just never stop in this fast paced thriller. At first, you get caught up in the mystery of it all - I mean, who can resist asking "whodunit"? But then the book transforms.

If you're anything like me, you start to pick up clues. You think to yourself, ah I know where this book is going. He's good and she's bad and this is how it'll end. And then CRACK, this twist shows up. And then BOOM, here comes another.

I honestly found myself in complete and utter shock right up until the first last paragraph. 

A quick and enthralling read. A bit gory, if that's not your thing. But, otherwise, it's nearly impossible to put this one down once you get started! Will recommend over and over!

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.

I was on the edge of my seat the whole ride. Found myself holding my breath and some points! Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing.

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.
