Firstly, the 3 viewpoints could have been cut down to 2. The point would have still been made. To keep it vague, "the point" could have been revealed sooner. I was waiting for it and knew it was coming but too many POV made it feel like a slog.
Otherwise, I was completely engaged with the story.
Warning for LOTS of death/murder...felt more slasher than creepy horror.

I had serious FOMO once I started seeing all the fantastic reviews of CJ Tudor's The Drift all around these parts.
Take a bit of The Walking Dead, Alive, and even if current-day goings-on had swerved in another direction, and you've got this novel. (Though it's none of these plot points specifically.)
Chapters alternate between Hannah in a full overturned charter bus in the snow, Meg stranded with strangers in a cable car, and Carter in a mountain chalet known as the Retreat.
Ominous enough for you?
Things get a little nasty at times, as apocalypses (apocalii?) are wont to do. There's action! Twists!
I loved this read. Perfect for cold snap weather reading. Recommended!
