Descrição
Sjuttonåriga Britt Pfeiffer har hårdtränat inför en vandring i Klippiga bergen tillsammans med en tjejkompis. Men hon är helt oförberedd på att hennes ex plötsligt vill möta upp dem. Innan Britt hinner reda ut sina känslor, tvingar en snöstorm tjejerna att söka skydd i en ensligt belägen stuga. Där gömmer sig två snygga killar som visar sig vara på flykt undan polisen och det dröjer inte länge förrän semestern förvandlas till ett gisslandrama. Fast den ene kidnapparen – Mason – har en enorm dragningskraft och Britt blir förvirrad. Är han verkligen hennes fiende?
I utbyte mot sitt liv går Britt med på att leda kidnapparna nerför bergssluttningen. Under den livsfarliga vandringen lägger hon märke till en rad isande tecken på att en seriemördare går lös bland bergen. En upptäckt som kan leda till att hon själv blir mördarens nästa offer.

I have read and enjoyed Ms Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush series very much, so when I saw this book on Netgalley I had to request it, as I wanted to see if the Author could write a good YA that was non paranormal, I do like suspense books as much as Paranormal books and I can say that I enjoyed this book too.The main character is Britt and she has planned a hiking/camping trip in the Grand Teton Mountains in Wyoming with her best friend Korbie. Just before heading off Britt bumps into Korbie's older brother Calvin who had split up with Britt 8 months ago, Britt still harbours feelings for Calvin and when they have a bit of a spat in the Gas Station, Britt steals some items out of Calvins Glove compartment in his car... And I had no issue with her little escapade, he was a complete jerk, and my opinion didn't really change through the book. This little act of spitefulness ends up being a life saver for Britt in the near future!Korbie's parents own a lodge in the Teton's and thats where the girls plan to use for their base, on the drive up, they run into a blizzard, after some thought the girls decide its better to try to set out on foot for the Lodge or another cabin... And thats when the adventure really gets going!I really took to Britt's character, she's spent most of her life relying on her father/brother/Calvin to protect her, and after Calvin's betrayal she decided that enough was enough and she planned this trip to show once and for all that she could fend for herself. As you read the story you watch her grow, she finds courage and determination throughout the trials that are set in front of her.Korbie on the other hand hasn't changed - her family treat her like a princess (a point that Calvin hates as his parents have constantly belittled him and never supported him, down to actual physical abuse) Britt even looks out for Korbie, and sticks her neck out to ensure her safety is paramount. This was another aspect I liked about Britt, she thought of others before herself.As the plot unravelled I had my suspicions to what and who was responsible for certain things, but Becca Fitzpatrick still managed to sneak in a plot twists to keep me guessing.If you enjoy a suspense story with well developed characters, then I would recommend this book without hesitation. I will certainly be looking out for it in the bookstores come Release Day.
