4.0

This is a very fast-paced horror/thriller set in an apocalyptic world ravaged by a virus. The multiple POVs kept the story moving very quickly and every chapter ends in a way that makes you want to keep reading. The wrap-up is very smart and you do have to pay attention to the details, but I didn’t see the end twists coming at all. There are some scenes in here that are extremely graphic and difficult to read. You could skim over the gore and death scenes and still get it. I would say I enjoyed the wrap up of this one more than The Burning Girls, and I’ll read her next one, too.

I picked this up blindly and assumed it was a story about being isolated/trapped during a winter storm. Although this book touches on that aspect, it is a story of survival in a post-apocalyptic world, I love how the plot still focuses on human survival rather than being a story focusing more on the Whistlers and escaping from them. 

In each chapter, we focus on a different tale of survival; Hannah (who is on a coach bus that has crashed), Meg (Trapped in a cable car with a suspicious group), and Carter (who lives in an abandoned chalet and seems to have the most resources, but not everyone can be trusted). At first, it seems as if there are a lot of characters as each setting has multiple people trapped, but since each pov is mainly set in the same area and always told via the same person it starts to clear up as you read. 

As the book went on I was a little on the fence as part of me wondered if all of these POVs were connected. The main factor in each situation is a place called The Retreat and it's the goal for our characters to get there. At one point I gave up thinking they were connected and just assumed the book was three short stories combined into one! Once I found out how all POVs were linked together I was shocked, the author did a great job at tying it all together and had my head spinning with theories!
