About this deal
She has never owned a handbag and the last time she wore heels (twelve years ago) she broke a tooth. I chose this book for its mystery/thriller potential and hadn't realized it was so heavy on the horror/apocalypse side of things. To enjoy the novel fully you need to embrace the crime/horror narrative, sit back and enjoy the disturbing but enjoyable ride. There are a few things that weren't completely explained in the end, but overall this is a not-to-be-missed thriller that will keep you up at night.

I just loved the parallels between each group of people thinking of how they would all intersect at some point but in my wildest imagination I never would have figured out where this author would make all the journeys evolve and intertwine. S. are publishing in January 2023, tells the story of three groups of frightened teens who find themselves thrown together in a frozen post-apocalyptic world.Thank you to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Ballantine Books and NetGalley for this ARC.

For some readers this may be testing and in The Drift the author is pushing her own out-there boundaries a little further. Each person had been drugged and put on the car and freezing to death is a very real unwanted option. It has been a decade since a pandemic swept the world and this story follows three people trying to survive in the most inhospitable circumstances.Meg wakes disoriented, gradually realising she is one of six people in a cable car suspended mid-way to a mountain top with no power. Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House/Doubleday Canada for this dark and entertaining thriller! Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing - Ballantine for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This site is protected by reCAPTCHA Enterprise and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. There are three small groups of people with each group finding themselves in dangerous and almost impossible to escape circumstances.
Hannah wakes up and finds out that her coach has fallen on its side over a hillside road and stuck in the snow during a snowstorm. They too, are headed for a rude awakening as the vaccine they make is running short and the doctor in charge has supposedly hidden himself in one of the containment pods. Fast, terse, and brutal at times it rarely lets up and leaves you feeling a little roughed up by the end. And finally, we follow a group of individuals who live in a large mountaintop estate known as The Retreat, as the estate's defenses begin to fail due to inclement weather and power issues.
