A group of teens (and one dog) head out on a senior trip ski weekend, but fail to meet up with their classmates as a turn of events leaves them stranded. I LOVE survival books, but this one was a little underwhelming in terms of thrills and suspense. The author seemed more concerned with relaying a positive message about faith than providing the reader with an edge-of-their-seat thrill ride. I finished, but overall a disappointment.

This is a YA Survival Thriller. I don't typically read YA novels so this was kind of new to me. This is a firm ⭐⭐⭐ book. It was an easy read & pretty straightforward.Teens are going on senior ski trip. The road is blocked. They take a short cut & wind up stranded. It's described as "The Breakfast Club meets Five Total Strangers" which is pretty accurate. It took an unnecessary religious bend which is a turnoff for me.
