Amelia and Garrett's marriage has been falling apart for years. In an attempt to reignite their passion, Amelia books them a weekend getaway at a resort to celebrate their anniversary. But things take a dark turn when someone turns up dead. Now Amelia must figure out if she can save her marriage—or at least save herself.
This book was supposed to be a psychological thriller, and while it did have some interesting twists, it also felt a bit melodramatic. I didn’t really like any of the main characters. Garrett was a liar, Amelia was trying too hard to be someone she wasn’t, and Kora played the victim while also being part of the problem. Honestly, I saw most of the twists coming, but it was still well done. A prison-themed cabin, a liar, and a snowy weekend—it's the perfect recipe for disaster.
