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 . . .

Kerry‘s made a mess of things, so when a caretaker position at in inn in the mountains crops up, she jumps at the chance to go there and finish her overdue book. A storm hits soon after she arrives and in the isolation, cold, and lack of power, she stumbles on a body. This was an entertaining thriller though Kerry didn‘t always quite ring true.

Book 9📚 3.5⭐️

A secluded motel, a dead body and a property dispute!

Nothing crazy to write home about out but still a good read.

My January 2025 #Bookspin and #Doublespin wintery picks are done and dusted.
Both were solid reads that made the cold and snow characters in the stories.
Neither knocked my socks off but I enjoyed reading both.
The tagged book was a #netgalley arc, so thanks to them for giving me a copy of the book for an honest review.
That‘s 2 more stripes on Rebecca my knitted #ReadingSnake (horror and thriller) #knittersoflitsy #litsycrafters

Chelsea.Poole This is great! 1mo
MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta I usually read between 52-63 books a year. I used a pattern for her head called Sweet Little Snake. It‘s free on Ravelry and I modified it to use DK weight yard to make her a little bigger. My inspiration is this woman‘s snake (she will be coming out with a pattern soon). https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4JSt_VvWUv/?igsh=ZTZja3FkZGZoZm1r 1mo
MaleficentBookDragon @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage thanks. I like her too. I made mistakes on her head but it‘s good enough for me. Maybe the stitches will smooth out if I steam block her. I was too impatient to block her, wait to dry , and then start the stripes. 1mo
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage She looks great to me :) 🐍 Gives her character 1mo
Kitta @MaleficentBookDragon amazing thanks! I‘ll look up the pattern. I feel think this would be more manageable than the reading tracking blankets I‘ve seen. I read around a book a week and was curious at how many rows per book you were doing. 1mo
MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta I‘m doing 5 rows for each book and 2 rows of the body color in between them. 1mo

This updated twist on THE SHINING with its unreliable narrator, set in a snowlocked motel in upstate NY makes a the gripping read! Kerry‘s husband has left, she hasn‘t spoken to her BFF in months & despite landing a dream contract for her debut novel, she still has to finish writing it! She hopes being the caretaker for this Instagram-friendly motel will provide her with the will to stop drinking & just write…but it‘s off the rails from the start!
