A secluded mountain lodge. The perfect getaway. So remote no one will ever find you.
The promise of a luxury vacation at a secluded wilderness spa has brought together eight lucky guests. But nothing is what they were led to believe. As a fierce storm barrels down and all contact with the outside is cut off, the guests fear that it’s not a getaway. It’s a trap.
Each one has a secret. Each one has something to hide. And now, as darkness closes in, they all have something to fear - including one another.
Alerted to the vanished party of strangers, homicide cop Mason Deniaud and search and rescue expert Callie Sutton must brave the brutal elements of the mountains to find them. But even Mason and Callie have no idea how precious time is. Because the clock is ticking, and one by one, the guests of Forest Shadow Lodge are being hunted. For them, surviving becomes part of a diabolical game.

As a fan of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, I couldn’t help but feel that the book leaned very heavily on that premise without quite capturing what made Christie’s story so effective. The reference is obvious, but for me, it often felt more like it was trying to capitalize on the familiarity of the concept than build something equally compelling from it.
There were also quite a few moments where the writing felt unnecessarily vulgar, which often took me out of the atmosphere rather than adding to it. Some of the characters were genuinely difficult to tolerate, and overall, I think this simply wasn’t a story that clicked with me.
Interestingly, I enjoyed the detective subplot much more. That storyline was probably the main reason I kept listening all the way to the end, and I found myself much more invested whenever the story returned to it.
So, while the audiobook itself was well narrated, the main story unfortunately didn’t work for me.
