I finished it in a day cause I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It became even more incredible after reading in the acknowledgements that this story was inspired by true events! I enjoyed Run On Red by this author but I loved this one even more! I look forward to continuing to read through Noelle’s backlist.

- Miley is a winter Olympian athlete. Her sport/event is the biathlon. It’s summertime, and she’s working at a lodge in the Idaho wilderness for the offseason.
- She’s kidnapped by two men, and she struggles to form a plan to survive.
- Meanwhile, her Olympic partner and friend, Brent, desperately searches for her when he learns of her disappearance.
- Note: this loosely based on & inspired by the kidnapping of real Olympian Kari Swenson.
- Be sure to check out trigger warnings, as this story is packed with challenging topics.
- This is my third book by this author, and I enjoy her writing style. She knows how to write suspenseful, nail-biting stories.
- Very tense. Strong female main character.
- Told in alternating POVs (Miley’s and Brent’s).
- Miley has a lot going on, even before the kidnapping happens. I enjoyed learning more about her past trauma, and thought she was a well-written character.
- The “bad guys” are extra creepy in this one to me. Idk, off the grid hillbillies are scary AF.
- Very fast-paced.
- Satisfying ending.
