This book was just BAD. The idea of what this book was going to be sounded so interesting to me, stuck due to a storm with someone maybe out to get them....yeah no the storm was maybe in about an hour of this book. Just skip it, the characters are so annoying. Maybe I liked Hannah's main character, but that was about it. 

also, the cabin owner has cameras everywhere in the house and no one is ever found them but his maid makes NO SENSE. I also don't understand how the whole DNA thing would have caused all this, just seemed like an easy way to connect all the characters. Lastly, the tree "blocking" the road was definitely moved to easily to make it so that someone could help them.

This book was a bit confusing. I think times should have been included at the beginning of the chapters as it wasn't always clear what order things were happening in. 

But the mystery part was pretty good. If nearer the end it is a bit obvious. I HATED Mick, as I think you were supposed to, but I didn't feel sorry for him at all. 

I loved the found family theme. And that the family you make can be more important than the family you're born into. However, the family you're born into can also be the family you choose and you can of course add and subtract from that.

The "animal death/cruelty" listed by others is the opening with a description of a Christmas turkey, which while gross isn't that bad.

This was fine. There was way too many POVs and some of them were completely unnecessary. This has mostly all unlikable characters so if you need to like the characters this one isn’t for you. I honestly know where this was going because it was obvious to me at least. It was entertaining enough and it want horrible.
