A chilling mystery set in the French Alps on a deserted ski resort brings old friends -- and fierce former competitors -- together for a very scary reunion.
It's been 10 years since events that once bonded them all together resulted in all these years without contact. Milla Anderson is a bit apprehensive about catching up, but heads off to Le Rocher with lots of memories. The first strange thing is that the resort is completely empty and nothing seems to be working including the cable cars that took her and the others to the Panorama building on Glacier du Diable. The invitation she received was a bit mysterious, but since it came from her secret crush, Curtis Sparks, she decided to come even though she wasn't sure this was a good idea. Too many bad things had happened the last time they were together during an elite snowboarding competition in this very place. The others, Brent Bakshi, Dale and Heather Hahn, make up the rest of the guests. Five former "friends" now essentially isolated in what soon becomes a deadly fight for survival as all of their secrets and lies are finally revealed. NO SPOILERS.
Wow -- since reading a spate of books set in the French Alps lately, I don't think I will keep it on my bucket list! Nothing good seems to happen there. The author does a great job in this debut thriller of building tension and suspense by alternating time shifts from 10 years ago and present day. I really enjoyed the story and had a very hard time putting it down so read it in a couple of hours. Even though I really didn't identify with any of the characters, and some are really not nice people or are a complete mess, the details about snowboarding and the menace of the setting were so appealing. It was a fun read!
