The Plot (from Goodreads):
The caretaker at an isolated mountain hotel finds herself fighting for her life—and sanity—in this twisty, addictive thriller.
Kerry’s life is in shambles: Her husband has left her, her drinking habit has officially become a problem, and though the deadline for her big book deal—the one that was supposed to change everything—is looming, she can’t write a word. When she sees an ad for a caretaker position at a revitalized roadside motel in the Catskills, she jumps at the chance. It’s the perfect getaway to finish her book and start fresh.
But as she hunkers down in a blizzard, she spots something through the window: a pale arm peeking out from a heap of snow. Trapped in the mountains and alone with a dead, frozen body, Kerry must keep her head and make it out before the killer comes for her too. But is the deadly game of cat-and-mouse all in her mind? The body count begs to differ . . .

The Review:
Thank you to @putnambooks for this gifted copy and to @prhaudio for the ALC!
I enjoyed this winter blizzard thriller! It’s set in my area and reminded me of The Sundown Motel more than The Shining.
While it does fall into the “no one believes the drunk woman” theme that can feel a bit frustrating, the book is creepy and atmospheric enough to be worth it. I thought I had it figured out, but I was wrong!
It’s an enjoyable popcorn thriller that’s perfect for this time of year. I was left with one huge question at the end, so if you’ve read this one let me know!
