Shiver – Allie Reynolds 

         (Debut)

A psychological thriller set in the French Alps. Alternating chapters from present day to 10 years ago.

In present day, we have 5 people meeting up for a reunion of sorts. Strange things happen like all of their phones go missing, their laptops are gone. Are they there to find out what happened 10 years ago? Is someone else there with them or is it one of them. Who do you trust??

10 years ago, these 5 people meet for the first time at a snowboarding competition. What starts out as a friendly rivalry turns ugly. Things happen but not ever explained.

I enjoyed the mystery part of this book but the relationships seem immature at times. Overall, I would recommend this as a good thriller.

Goodreads summary:

In this propulsive locked-room thriller debut, a reunion weekend in the French Alps turns deadly when five friends discover that someone has deliberately stranded them at their remote mountaintop resort during a snowstorm.

When Milla accepts an off-season invitation to Le Rocher, a cozy ski resort in the French Alps, she's expecting an intimate weekend of catching up with four old friends. It might have been a decade since she saw them last, but she's never forgotten the bond they forged on this very mountain during a winter spent fiercely training for an elite snowboarding competition.

Yet no sooner do Milla and the others arrive for the reunion than they realize something is horribly wrong. The resort is deserted. The cable cars that delivered them to the mountaintop have stopped working. Their cell phones--missing. And inside the hotel, detailed instructions await them: an icebreaker game, designed to draw out their secrets. A game meant to remind them of Saskia, the enigmatic sixth member of their group, who vanished the morning of the competition years before and has long been presumed dead.
