A group of students is stranded during a deadly health crisis and in the grips of a brutal snowstorm. In an evacuation gone wrong, these young people wake to confusion and the aftermath of a bad accident. They ultimately find themselves battling a mysterious disease, the harsh elements of nature, and each other in order to survive.
I read this one during a cold snap, so it made the thought of being in a remote area fighting for life and limb in the bitter cold ever more vivid. This narrative created suspense, a style that felt somewhat reminiscent of an Agatha Christie novel. A sometimes chaotic story that provides an entangled bundle of evidence to be gathered by the reader . . . a stage set that is isolated and wrought with peril, random clues, and a curious cast of characters thrown together in dangerous times.
There’s plenty of action and carnage throughout this chilling apocalyptic thriller.
