Ryan Adler and his twin sister, Jane, spent their
happiest childhood days at their parents' mountain Colorado cabin - until
divorce tore their family apart. Now, with the house about to be sold, the
Adler twins gather with their closest friends for one last snowboarding-filled
holiday. While commitment-phobic Ryan gazes longingly at Lauren, wondering if
his playboy days are over, Jane's hopes of reconciling with her old boyfriend
evaporate when he brings along his new fiancée. As drama builds among the
friends, something lurks in the forest, watching the cabin, growing ever bolder
as the snow falls - and hunger rises. After a blizzard leaves the group
stranded, the true test of their love and loyalty begins as the hideous
creatures outside close in, one bloody attack at a time. Now Ryan, Jane, and
their friends must fight - tooth and nail, bullet and blade - for their lives.
Or else surrender to unspeakable deaths in the darkened woods.
Twins Ryan and Jane Adler are heading to their family cabin in the Colorado
mountains, trying to escape for a few days from life and their parents
impending divorce. The cabin had been put up for sale, but Ryan hopes for one
last hurrah with his sister and some friends to revel in all the happy memories
they had at the cabin, as a family.
But something is lurking in the
mountains, hiding in the shadows, and unbeknownst to the twins, someone has
gone missing.
The tension in the cabin is stifling.
Ryan is enamoured with his sister’s best friend, Lauren. And Jane who was
hoping to reconcile with her ex, Ryan’s best friend, is devastated when he
shows up with his fiancé in tow. Tempers are flaring and everyone is hyper
aware of what’s going on around them. Except for what’s going on right under
their noses, outside, in the woods.
A woman goes searching for her husband
who never came home, following his trail what she finds just might kill her.
Ryan and Jane are starting to take
notice to something that’s just not right in the woods that surround the cabin.
As well, two of their guests see shadows outside their bedroom window at night,
and hear strange noises. The tension in the house is almost to the breaking
point. Snowed in and running out of food and patience, they have to decide to
wait out the storm, or try to get back down the mountain.
A couple get into an argument on the
ski slopes, and take a dangerously wrong turn that has deadly consequences.
What the HELL are these things?! When
Ryan, Jane and their group of friends attempts to make it down the mountain
they are finally confronted with the danger they didn’t fully comprehend they
were in. The monsters aren’t hiding anymore, and if they can’t make it back to
the safety of the cabin, they are all as good as dead.
Two roommates who work the snow plow are
up in the wee hours of the morning, getting coffee and getting ready for work.
Let’s just say, the roads shant be plowed today!
I absolutely loved this story! The
mystery and suspense at the start with the random side stories of people going
missing, then tying those stories into to Ryan and Janes story. The tension
building in the cabin all the while they are clueless to what’s happening
outside, I was standing on my head screaming, “LOOK OUT THE WINDOW!” and, “
DON’T GO OUT THERE!” Yes, on the edge of my seat from start to finish.
And you never do quite fully recognize
the creatures, or monsters or what they truly are. But that is just one more
thing that adds to the suspense. And the narrator was fantastic, capturing the
perfect voice and shriek for a teenage girl scared out of her mind, watching
her friends fall around her.
This is a must read for hard core horror
fans. I have a friend that doesn’t do audio, she got a paperback copy and
thoroughly enjoyed reading it as well.
