When Christa joins a tour group heading deep into the snowy expanse of the Rocky Mountains, she's hopeful this will be her chance to put the ghosts of her past to rest. But when a bitterly cold snowstorm sweeps the region, the small group is forced to take shelter in an abandoned hunting cabin. Despite the uncomfortably claustrophobic quarters and rapidly dropping temperature, Christa believes they'll be safe as they wait out the storm.
She couldn't be more wrong.
Deep in the night, their tour guide goes missing...only to be discovered the following morning, his severed head impaled on a tree outside the cabin. Terrified, and completely isolated by the storm, Christa finds herself trapped with eight total strangers. One of them kills for sport...and they're far from finished. As the storm grows more dangerous and the number of survivors dwindles one by one, Christa must decide who she can trust before this frozen mountain becomes her tomb.

My Thoughts
Christa has joined a tour to the Rockie Mountains in the hopes that she can figure things out in her life, a getaway that starts out pretty benign but gets heavier as the story goes on.
The group has, because of the weather, settle into an abandoned cabin. Christa's boyfriend Kiernan goes missing even before they enter the cabin. There are nine people on this tour. A few of them were not very likable or nice, the others seemed ok. Until another of the group goes missing and they find a head hanging from a tree.
Something sinister is going on and even if they could they have no way to communicate with the outside world due to the inclement weather that has left them stranded. As time goes on everyone is suspicious of the other and then more people go missing, with their heads to be found hanging in the trees.
Reading a Darcy Coates novel is always one of the best there is in the suspense/horror genre. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending, this was not my first Darcy Coates and it won't be the last. This was a book that if I was so inclined, would have bitten my nails to the nubs. Creepy, suspenseful, and downright scary!
I give the book 5 stars.
I received a copy of the book from Netgalley for my honest review.
