"Plot had some holes, but the end had a bit of a twist to it. Liked it. I couldn't figure out why they didn't use snow mobiles to rescue the heroine. They finally figured it out towards the end. What took them so long? "
— Leigh (4 out of 5 stars)
“Lust, jealousy, and murder suffuse Brown’s crisp thriller…The snowy suspense will cool off Brown’s fans during the dog days of summer.”
— Publishers Weekly“Both the weather and the confined setting give this creepy thriller a wonderfully claustrophobic edge. This book has twists aplenty and characters with more than a little excess baggage. Leave it to Brown to dish up pure terror and chills.”
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)“Brown offers up her usual blend of steamy romance and suspense, as well as an entertaining subplot featuring the town’s outwardly prudish high school English teacher. Recommended.”
— Library Journal“A neat mix of romance, suspense, and plot surprises.”
— Barnes & Noble, editorial review" In the 2.5-3 --- 2.5 for the cheesiness factor, 3 for the twists that made it worthwhile, although I did end up skimming quite a bit in the middle... "

— Lea, 9/18/2013" Had to skip a few pages as reading about graphic sex acts makes me uncomfortable. Good story. Brown is always a sure bet for "trashy" weekend reading. "

— Sharon, 2/23/2013" I recommend it but make sure you have time to read cover-to-cover because you won't want to put it down. Didn't get much else done until this was finished! Loved it. "
— Karen, 12/26/2012" Excellent read...kept you guessing til the very end who the killer was. I enjoyed this book! "
— Sheila, 9/26/2012" This is a book where I can say...less would have been more. The story overall was great, but I felt it was way too long and some points seemed to drag on. I think had the story been somewhat condensed, it may have been more action-packed and engaging! "
— Taikeya, 6/3/2012" I loved it...it kept me guessing all the way to the end of the book "
— Stevi, 4/15/2012" You can read my thoughts here. "
— Joy, 3/13/2012" Somehow this seemed more of a romance than a thriller. It must have been set in Western NC--our daughter and son in law only had one snow of one inch. I didn't find any of the characters to be especially sympathetic--they all had certain axes to grind, and didn't mesh well. "
— Marti, 11/23/2011" What a great book! It kept me guessing how it would end and I didn't even think of the way it ended! =) "
