This was a fast-paced, twisty, and mind-blowing story. It's set at a remote winter campground, giving this the locked room mystery energy I love. The location itself felt a bit like a character, as did the weather. The story itself was complex and a bit too convenient in hindsight. However, in the heat of the story, each reveal intrigued me and kept me deeply invested.

Theo has joined her fiancé, Conner, at his wealthy families exclusive and private winter retreat. This is Theo's introduction to the extended family after a somewhat whirlwind courtship. Conner's family is stand offish and not exactly inviting to Theo. Who begins to slowly realize that she isn't entirely sure this is her first time at this Conners family compound. The reveals are shocking and unexpected with a satisfyingly tidy ending.

This audiobook is chillingly narrated by Karissa Vacker. Karissa really brings Theo to life and helps some of the overdone elements of the story feel tense and suspenseful. The narrator added to the atmosphere created by the narrative perfectly. I highly recommend the audio for this story.

Thank you to Kate Alice Marshall, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook. All opinions and viewpoints expressed in this review are my own.
