The Silent Land by Graham Joyce
5.0
5⭐️
Speculative fiction about a couple who goes skiing only to experience an avalanche. They are then stranded on the mountain, and when they try to get down the mountain, they end up going in circles.
Let me start by saying this book surprised me so many times. We start out with feeling the thriller, spooky vibes then move into sort of a suspenseful but passionate place with the main couple, then the last third is the most soul crushing devastation. Comedy is used so diligently to keep the reader laughing just as much as they are holding back tears.
I was openly sobbing for an hour after finishing this, my emotional / sensitive fans of speculative fiction will love this one (I hope!)
