3.0

Synopsis: Four close friends reunite for their annual girls trip. Only this time, instead of a beach vacation, they are set to hike a treacherous mountain in Norway. From the start we know that one person does not return alive and with many secrets exposed, the big question is who can it be ?

Thoughts: This book follows a similar format to One of the Girls, Clarke’s previous novel, but ultimately it fell a bit flat for me. I enjoyed the slow burn suspense, alternating POVs and interesting cast of characters. The audiobook also made for easy listening! However, the ending and plot twists were a bit too over the top/ silly. Also, how can a group of friends go on a trip like this with zero training, prep, or equipment?!

Thank you PRH Audio for the ALC!

Honestly I wasn't sure what I wan getting myself into when I started this! It was so freaking good though! The suspense was so intense and with each piece of the puzzle everything just got more twisty and messed up!! I think the whole thing was incredibly well written. I usually have a hard time with multiple POVs but this was well done! This was a quick easy read with a lot of complex and confusing twisted grouo dynamics! I could see it being a movie or tv show!
