Britt Pfeifer wants to prove herself and so sets out on a trekking trip with best friend Korbie. Britt has been dating Korbie’s brother, Calvin but he dumped her just before the school prom. The trip starts off badly; Britt and Korbie get stuck in a snow storm. They find shelter in a cabin but they are in even more danger now; two criminals on the run are sheltering there.
All is not as it seems. Britt gradually finds out that the real criminal is neither Shaun nor Mason (whose real name is Jude). Calvin has killed five young women, apparently because of his jealousy of their success. He has been holed up in family cabin, pretending to have been attending Stanford. Britt also witnesses him killing Shaun.
Calvin’s father had persistently bullied him. We are led to believe that is why he behaves the way that he does.
Calvin attempts to kill himself by hanging but Britt and Jude rescue him in time. However, he has suffered brain damage. He will still probably get a life sentence but not in normal jail.
Britt’s friendship with Korbie is ruined.
However, she goes to college, makes some good friends and meets up with Jude again in the summer.
This is a fast-paced novel, with well-drawn characters and a convincing setting.
It is 401 pages long.
