Dead of Winter

By: Darcy Coates

Narrated by: Emily Ellet

When Christa joins a tour group heading deep into the snowy expanse of the Rocky Mountains, she's hopeful this will be her chance to put the ghosts of her past to rest. But when a bitterly cold snowstorm sweeps the region, the small group is forced to take shelter in an abandoned hunting cabin. Despite the uncomfortably claustrophobic quarters and rapidly dropping temperature, Christa believes they'll be safe as they wait out the storm.

She couldn't be more wrong. Deep in the night, their tour guide goes missing...only to be discovered the following morning, his severed head impaled on a tree outside the cabin. Terrified, and completely isolated by the storm, Christa finds herself trapped with eight total strangers. One of them kills for sport...and they're far from finished. As the storm grows more dangerous and the number of survivors dwindles one by one, Christa must decide who she can trust before this frozen mountain becomes her tomb.

Went on too long.

This book wasn’t bad but it also was not good. The story got stale and drug on and on. I never felt as though it came to a peak, I was left pretty unsatisfied.

Predictable

This was alright. The narrator does a pretty good job. The story has holes, and the twist is soooo predictable. I probably wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

Too Much like Clue

I loved the story and setting. Amazing narrator for the audiobook! I just think the predictability of each guest turning up dead and the rapid sequence of deaths, all with no one noticing, was a bite too unbelievable.

So many twists and turns!

Loved the whole thing. So many times I thought I knew the answer, the. Another twist would change my mind. Great writing.

my favorite from this author

I listen to ALOT of books, so when I find one that I like as much as I liked this one, I take the time to write a review; rather than just a rating. I mainly read thrillers/mysteries. my preference is horrors, but too often they are a let down. this was not one of those let downs. I found myself listening as often as I could, as well as feeling real anxiety through the last 3rd of the book. I've read a few of her books, this is def my favorite. worth the credit if you enjoy horror/thrillers
