In the Dark
A secluded mountain lodge. The perfect getaway. So remote no one will ever find you.
The promise of a luxury vacation at a secluded wilderness spa has brought together eight lucky guests. But nothing is what they were led to believe. As a fierce storm barrels down and all contact with the outside is cut off, the guests fear that it's not a getaway. It's a trap.
Each one has a secret. Each one has something to hide. And now, as darkness closes in, they all have something to fear--including one another.
Alerted to the vanished party of strangers, homicide cop Mason Deniaud and search and rescue expert Callie Sutton must brave the brutal elements of the mountains to find them. But even Mason and Callie have no idea how precious time is. Because the clock is ticking, and one by one, the guests of Forest Shadow Lodge are being hunted. For them, surviving becomes part of a diabolical game.

Because we all lie. Every one of us, and whoever claims they donât is the biggest liar of all.
The promise of a luxury resort in the Canadian wilderness, and a series of lucrative business deals, brings eight strangers together. But something isn't right with this trip, and the group might be related in ways they don't wish to remember. Trapped in the middle of nowhere survival becomes their main goal, but some secrets refuse to stay buried. As the group struggles to find help the local police are alerted to their disappearance and homicide detective Mason Deniaud, alongside search and rescue specialist Callie Sutton, embark on a search against time before something happens to the missing eight.
For a thriller this was boring as fuck. Disorganized and incongruous, the writing left a lot to be desired. I don't know if I consume too much media related to mysteries/crime or if it was just so obvious to everyone else, but I immediately knew who had done it. The moment the book started with a survivor's POV I just said arrest her, she did it. TOO OBVIOUS. Very much disliked the overwhelming amount of points of view, I think it was a bad choice for a mystery.
There also was no need for the separate police investigation and search of the group, completely removed any tension and did nothing except try to make me care for a random doomed romance between the most clichéd law enforcement characters. He's a sad man who lost his child and wife and is trying to cope by moving to a remote location, she's a single mother juggling her work as a search and rescue officer with a husband in the brink of death, will sparks fly between them?? I do not care! There are people dying out there!!
Ending was spoon-fed to the readers, too long to be so boring, total waste of my time.
