Summary

They only come when it snows, and nobody ever gets away.

A group of close friends gathers at a secluded cabin in the wintry mountains of Colorado for a final holiday hurrah. Instead, it may be their last stand. First a massive blizzard leaves them marooned. Then the more chilling realization: Something is lurking in the woods, watching them, waiting....

Now a weekend of family, friends, and fun has turned into a test of love and loyalty in the face of inhuman horrors. The only hope for those huddled inside is to fight - tooth and nail, bullet and blade - for their lives. Otherwise, they’ll end up like the monsters’ other victims: bright pools of blood on glittering snow, screams lost in the vast mountains.

just ok

General overview was just ok to be honest, more time with the creatures would have been good. they were such a small part of the story really.

Love Ania’s books

This was the first book of Ania’s that I have read. It creates such a vivid picture in your head you feel like you have seen a movie.

Really enjoyed this audiobook. Narrator was good and the story had some great edge-of-your-seat moments.

Very Entertaining

I love every minute of this. Great characters and rip roaring pace. The narration was poised and comfortable.
I think this is the first book I have listened to all the way through for a long time.
It delivers!

not gripping enough

The premises of the book was good but the writing fell short. it takes too long to get into what's happening and then before you know it, it's all over too fast. A few good scenes towards the end and a couple of added stories in between but the main story spent too long on character relations (or not long enough with Ryan and lauren). narration was great though.

Had so much potential

The general storyline of this is great, it has creepy parts and some gross parts. The thing that lets it down is the character interactions. There’s a lot of petty arguments and pointless bitchiness, which really spoils the book, in my opinion. I ended up wanting all of them to just die, so that I wouldn’t have to listen to their ridiculous prose anymore.

Beautifully written tale of terror

This was the first book I have read by this author and I was blown away! The writing is first class and the plot was awesome. It played out just like a horror movie in my mind. I’m now off to read everything else by this author !!

Ok story

I didn't get attached to the characters. Felt like "meh" when something happened to them.
