The pacing of this book was incredibly fast. Which I appreciate. Things got going almost immediately. 

I thought the characters were pretty well done. Ashley, was especially interesting. The dialogue and interactions between the characters made sense. The fact that not everything was convenient for the main character I really liked too. The night definitely wasn’t easy on her. 

What I didn’t like was how unbelievable it was for Darby to survive. Realistically, she should have been dead not even half way through the book. Sure, maybe adrenaline could cause her to fight back while being asphyxiated (and that’s a strong maybe), but rolling down a hill? In the freezing cold, with a broken nose?
I digress.

It was a good time. I’d recommend it, especially for people who are just starting to branch out to read thrillers. Be sure to check trigger warnings because this book does get pretty gruesome.
