Shiver

Shiver by Allie Reynolds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great Locked room mystery set in snowy mountains and After seeing the synopsis, the eerie front cover I was immediately drawn to the story and This story is so much like "One by One" by Ruth ware, which I enjoyed a lot.


The story starts when Five snowboarding friends, Milla, Curtis, Dale, Heather, and Brent are brought together again at an isolated resort in the Le Rocher-French alps for a reunion weekend. They had last been there 10 years ago, training and preparing for the British Open snowboarding competition and Olympic selection. But an unfortunate event happens at that time when Saskia, Curtis's sister disappears during the finals of the competition. Without knowing what happened to her, friends drew apart and haven't seen each other after that.
But after 10 years, Upon receiving the tempting invitation for this weekend getaway, Milla hopes to spend the weekend catching up with her friends and enjoying snowboarding like she used to be.

Once they arrived they begin to feel that something is not right and unexpected, mysterious events happen one after the other. Little did they know that all their secrets are about to unravel and the past will become the deadly present.
I really loved how the story turns page by page with two different timelines and page by page author builds the suspense, thriller. Also enjoyed her writing style, the setting of the story, character building, and how she shows the story from Mill's Point of view.

I could not believe that this is her debut novel and I'm looking forward to reading her works in the future.

Well done!
