SYNOPSIS: (From Goodreads)

Gaia Gill is the last person in the world anyone would expect to go missing. Beautiful, athletic, and recently accepted to a prestigious college, she has everything to look forward to—but the night of her going-away party at the Moon Mountain ski resort, she disappears.

Gaia’s younger sister Esme is supposed to be flying back to England with her family after the party, but she can’t leave with Gaia missing—especially because nobody remembers Gaia leaving the party. Or if they do, they’re not saying. Everyone at the lodge has their own secrets: the little rich girl, the ex-boyfriend, the ski instructor, the failed reality star.

Esme’s out of her depth searching the dark, dangerous forests and icy slopes of Moon Mountain, until she teams up with a local boy who promises to help her. The clock is ticking, and it’s down to Esme to piece the clues together and work out who—if anybody—is telling the truth.

REVIEW:

**A copy of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**

I first started this book months ago and just could not get into it. Instead of judging it based oon that, I sat it down and decided to come back to it and I am so glad I did. This book was so good and had so many twists that I almost had book whiplash.

The story follows Esme as she and her family try to help look for her sister Gaia who did not return from a party. Esme was such a fun character to read from as she was spunky, daring, and did not take crap from anyone. Her emotions were what I would imagine many in that situation would be reacting like which added to the believability of this story. McKay did such a great job writing this story and the details that kept it realistic and exciting. The supporting characters were everything in this story. Brody was the best sidekick and I think the story would not have been as exciting without him. I also love the lightness of his and Esme’s relationship that kind of lightened the load of this story a bit.

Kirsty McKay deserves a round of applause for this story. The only issue I had was that it took a few chapters to hook me and I wish it could have right from the beginning because maybe I wouldn’t have had to come back to it. Absolutely get yourself a copy if you love a mystery with lots of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end.
