A woman receives an unexpected visitor during a deadly snowstorm in this chilling thriller from New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf

She thought she was alone…

True crime writer Wylie Lark doesn’t mind being snowed in at the isolated farmhouse where she’s retreated to write her new book. A cozy fire, complete silence. It would be perfect, if not for the fact that decades earlier, at this very house, two people were murdered in cold blood and a girl disappeared without a trace.

As the storm worsens, Wylie finds herself trapped inside the house, haunted by the secrets contained within its walls—haunted by secrets of her own. Then she discovers a small child in the snow just outside. After bringing the child inside for warmth and safety, 
​she begins to search for answers. But soon it becomes clear that the farmhouse isn’t as isolated as she thought, and someone is willing to do anything to find them.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: Heather Gudenkauf has once again written a book that is gripping from page one all the way through to the end. This is a dark and chilling read and will make you think twice about locking your doors at night!

Phew! This one was an intense and all consuming read! I felt the bitter cold seeping into my skin while reading and the panic that I can only assume these characters were feeling. I absolutely love when an author can conjure up the feelings of being a part of a book and Heather does just that here. WOW!!! I devoured this book. I couldn’t stop reading. The pacing is perfect- starts out slow and them becomes extremely fast paced as things begin to happen! I felt so tense while reading this one and it really hit the spot for a winter read! If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading the authors thrillers, then you are missing out! They are EXCELLENT! Absolutely fantastic in every single way! She’s a pro at writing these novels and I look forward to a new one every year.

Just a few things about this book: it touches upon some DARK subjects (think ROOM). There’s a triple murder (which is pretty horrendous), a kidnapping, a confinement, and a twisted plotline that many won’t see coming. I just want to warn readers about these things because it is really intense. While I like books like this there are readers who may find some of these things triggering so read at your own risk!

If you need a thrilling escape for winter (this book takes place MOSTLY during a blizzard) then you can’t go wrong with this one! I very much recommend it!

𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗦 𝗢𝗙:
• A slow burning thriller (that DOES pick up at an alarming rate towards the end)
• A layered storyline
• A book rife with tension and unease

𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
