The description of this book was intriguing. I love a good memory loss trope. A woman found after being involved in an avalanche with no memory of what happened and her best friend is dead. Being an avid skier, this seemed off to Greta, who knows better. The book starts off strong but falls short quickly. If you like books about skiing this might be for you. It’s slow paced and it just didn’t come together for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for a copy.

The Ski Resort was an interesting but slow paced story. I found it quite heavy on details which left me feeling a little bogged down in them all and struggling to stay focussed.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC.

This book was super bingeable! As a skiier, it was fun to dive into a book where the setting is… at a Ski Resort. Greta provided a great POV and the suspense was enjoyable.

A great read
An engrossing book which has you hooked from the first page
Don’t think I’ll be going skiing anytime soon
Can’t wait for this authors next book
Thanks NetGalley

Oh what a great read, I really did enjoy it!! It had me gripped right from the start & I couldn't put it down until I read the last page!!!

Unfortunately, this wasn't for me. I found the story to be pretty repetive and without much action going on.

I loved the setting of the ski resort. The memory and trauma aspect of this story kept me intrigued. There were many layers of the story to uncover. Plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader intrigued.

Engaging..
When Greta wakes in a hospital bed, it is clear that something very bad indeed has happened on the ski slopes. But what? With no memory of events, can Greta ever find the answers she seeks? An engaging and immersive novel of suspense with a nicely drawn and credible cast of characters, a solid thread of mystery interspersed with twists and turns with a well imagined and descriptive backdrop.

I didn't think this was as good as her other books. I really thought I'd read this book before as the story was similar to others I'd read. I guessed who was doing all the nasty things quite quickly in the book . I loved the snowy descriptions of Aspen but, the book didn't live up to my expectations. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Loved the intrigue. I loved the setting of the high end ski resort. Kept me interested from start to finish.

Unfortunately, I had to DNF 10% in and I know that sounds insane but the start of this book was extremely rough in my opinion.

Catherine O’Connell’s The Ski Resort is a gripping psychological thriller set in Aspen’s icy, perilous beauty. Ski patrol veteran Greta wakes in a hospital with no memory of the avalanche that nearly killed her and claimed her best friend Warren’s life. Haunted by guilt and amnesia, she’s driven to uncover the truth—was she responsible?

With vivid prose, layered characters, and a steadily building suspense, O’Connell masterfully explores memory, trauma, and redemption. Perfect for fans of thrillers with strong female leads, intricate plots, and unexpected twists. A must-read for mystery lovers!

I so wanted to love this book after devouring The Bachelorette Party - but sadly it just didn’t hit the mark for me.

I think it was difficult for me to find a plot line that really hooked me in - and certainly up to 50% of the way through, I struggled to work out where the whole book was going.

I won’t let it put me off reading any other of Catherine’s works though as The Bachelorette Party was fantastic!

Perhaps it was the books either side of this one that I ready - I so wanted to ‘love’ it - but ‘liking’ it was as far as I got.

A great murder mystery and one that will keep you reading. Great finds herself in hospital, her best friend Warren is dead and she has no idea what happened. An avalanche, skiing in a dangerous area! Why was she there and what really happened?

This is a story full of questions, twists and turns and plenty on suspense and intrigue. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, it draws you in and you keep turning the pages as you just want to know what happened and what is going on. A great setting, great characters and a mysterious and enthralling storyline. Loved it.

Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Catherine O’Connell for providing me with a complimentary digital ARC for The Ski Resort coming out January 8, 2025. The honest opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I think it’s a great book to read during winter. The beginning started off with a bang. I was interested in finding out what happened. However, I think the rest of the story wasn’t as interesting to me. I don’t think there was enough mystery and suspense. I was hoping for something different. I would check out other books by this author though.

A good read with plenty of details about skiing, which was actually quite interesting. The plot lines seemed a little disconnected to me so perhaps this is a book best for those who really focus in on details.

The Ski Resort by Catherine O’Connell is an engrossing story that will keep any reader on the edge of their seat from start to finish.
O’Connell‘s writing skills are truly remarkable. The author's gripping plot that immediately grabbed my attention and kept me engaged throughout.

Thank You NetGalley and Joffe Books for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

An enjoyable book that started with a bang. W well developed story line and well thought out characters but it was slightly slow paced in places. There is also a lot of ski references. I expected that and have skied myself so I don have an interest but I think for some readers it may put them off. I would rate this 3.5 stars. Thanks to NetGalley, Joffe Books and the author for the chance to review.

The plot is not followable and the twists are not that good. I prefer a plot that is worth it. Only twists don’t make a good thriller. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for this chance to read this book.
