Charly Highsmith has learned to depend on no one from the
time she was abandoned by her parents. A Street smart she looks after her
autistic brother, Jacob. When her father dies, Charly becomes the heir to his
estate, which includes a weather-beaten cabin in the Rocky Mountains. Charly
can't wait to visit the cabin, linked to childhood memories, so she invites her
cousins, Amanda and Cam, to visit the cabin. Up in the mountain, they find
themselves trapped between the claws of a vicious killer and the blizzard. Can
they outwit the hunter who is determined to take them down or will this
nightmare lead to something more sinister?
This suspenseful novel is a thrilling story that is deft and
balanced. It is a mesmerizing story that is firm, featuring writing that is
fresh and characters that are elaborately explored. Charly was my favorite
character and the author imagines her intelligently, making her genuinely
flawed, which makes it hard for readers to not like her. The relationships
between the characters are convincingly written. The setting is fully drawn and
the author's strong imagery augments the entertainment potential of the
well-paced, twisty tale. The Excursion
by T.O. Paine is a novel that sure packs a punch for fans of thrillers; it is
enduring and written in dazzling prose. T.O. Paine has the gift of creating
irresistible characters with vivid inner worlds, a setting that captivates
readers, and a plot that moves in unexpected directions. This one was a breezy
read!
