I enjoyed this more than I thought when I started reading. It was well developed and I was still surprised at the end. I enjoyed it very much!

It wasn't my favorite book, but it was still a good read. The plot was unique and the character descriptions gave us insight to each of the characters in the book. I was surprised at the ending and didn't see it coming.

Wow! This book officially has me never wanting to go into a cave. The story is very believable and terrifying. The storyline keeps the reader engaged until the last page.

I love these types of books. When I pick up this genre the hope is it sucks me into an imaginary world that plays out like a move in my head.... And this book did not disappoint! Hope they produce this in the audio version

I normally hate to say, that a book is surprisingly good, because why would I pick up a book if I wasn’t expecting it to be good? However, this one was good and surprising.

The concept was really interesting. Set thirty years in the future, snow and ice are a novelty and if you want to experience it, you can book a time slot at an artificial underground glacier and feel the cold snow and wintery atmosphere.

Due to some greedy staff members and unfortunate circumstances, 7 people get stuck in Glacier Haven for the weekend. Without food or any means of getting warm the tourists try to keep themselves alive and while the temperature sinks, some of the characters show their real face.
This book was gripping from the first page through the last, I was at the edge of my seat the whole time wondering what would happen next and how they would battle their environment. The creepy and gloomy feeling never left me while reading.

One negative thing I want to mention is, that one character is a victim of abuse, both physical and emotional, and even though it was never explicitly mentioned I sometimes had the feeling that the book wanted to say: see, she is horrible, it was okay how she was treated, which is not, of course. It doesn’t matter how bad a person is, abuse is never okay.

The concept for this novel is very original. I think it could have been a much better book with some better writing. A couple of things really bothered me. Even though the book is set 37 years in the future the pop culture and technology references do not seem futuristic. There was no character development and there was at least one unnecessary tangent storyline. The ending was very disappointing and the twist at the end just seemed unnecessary.
