Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for an ARC of this book, in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was my second Emily Shiner book, and it did not disappoint. The setting of being secluded and shut off from the world, in Maine during a horrible blizzard was so eerie.

Abby and Mark have it all with their son Henry, and working at their B&B in Oyster, Maine. But lately things aren’t going great financially, and Abby has the idea of sending out a special coupon code for past guests, to get more people booking the B&B. Lottie, Tim, and Chelsea not only book the B&B through the special, but decide to rent out the entire place for three whole weeks. Abby is elated that their financial issues are coming to an end, but for some reason Mark is on edge. Who is this family that booked the entire place to themselves for three weeks? And what are their motives? When a blizzard hits, and they’re all stuck under the same roof tensions come to a head, and secrets start spilling out. As the reader you’re struggling to figure out who to believe? How will this all end, because not everyone is making it out alive.

I’ve learned that this author is the Queen of twists, and the two that came in the last chapter were jaw dropping. If you’re looking for a fast paced thriller, this is the one. Can’t help but thinking it’s the perfect book to curl up with in front of a fire on a snowy day (just make sure you look over your shoulder).

I was looking for an atmospheric thriller with great description and the ability to transport you, make you want more, keep turning the page. And, let me tell you, I found it! I'm absolutely enamored with this gripping and heart-pounding page-turner! I couldn't resist devouring it all in one sitting; it's that captivating! Prepare yourself for an intense rollercoaster of emotions as the explosive twists will leave you stunned and the hair on your arms standing on end.

The breakneck speed of the plot keeps you on the edge of your seat, unable to tear yourself away.

The novel is rich with mystery and intrigue, and the captivating setting of the hotel in Maine adds an extra layer of suspense that keeps the reader engaged throughout

I can't say I particularly liked the characters, but that is not a requirement for a mystery or a thriller. The way they engage with each other, the dialogue is very realistic. I was fortunate to receive an electronic copy of this book from Netgalley for review, and I extend my gratitude to both the publisher and the author.
