Never would have imagined I’d enjoy a book where I hated every single character, but here we are.

Four hikers enter the mountains. Only two return, but it's not who you think it is going to be.

When sisters Cat and Ginny travel with their husbands to the idyllic Swiss Alps for a hiking holiday, it’s not just a chance to take in the stunning scenery, it’s an opportunity to reconnect with each other after years of drifting apart—and patch up marriages that are straining at the seams.

As they head into the mountains, morale is high, but as the terrain turns treacherous, cracks in the relationships start to show. With worrying signs that someone might be following them, the sun begins to set and exhaustion kicks in. Suddenly, lost high on a terrifying ridge, tensions spill over—with disastrous consequences.

When only two of the four hikers make it down from the mountain, the police press them for their story—but soon become suspicious when their accounts just don’t add up.

What really happened up on that ridge? Who are the survivors? And what secrets are they trying to hide?

Who's betraying who?

4 Hikers go in, only 2 return... What really happened and WHY??? This was a fun read and had me guessing the whole time.

Wow

I thought I knew but I had no idea! Left me guessing until the end, which doesn't happen very often!

I enjoyed this, but it was mediocre in my opinion. The twists were predictable for me and the characters were kind of one-dimensional. For some reason, I could not keep the sisters straight so I kept getting confused about what was going on.

Two couples set out for a day hike, but they all have secrets that may make it a more dangerous expedition than they planned for.

No likable characters. Literally no reason to even like the twists because I couldn’t relate to anyone.
