Snowblind

by Michael Abbadon

Out of the white tundra of Alaska’s North Slope, two Inuit hunters emerge on dog sleds carrying a mysterious captive, chained under animal hides and locked in a sapling cage. They deliver their catch to a cargo plane sent out by the Sheriff in Fairbanks. The pilot notices a corpse on the sled—a third musher, killed in the capture, his face mauled with teeth marks that appear more human than animal.

Eighteen-year-old Kris Carlson needs a second chance. Blinded years before in a freak accident following a trophy-winning downhill ski race, Kris is trying to restart her life by learning how to ski again—without eyesight. A new audible-radar technology makes this miracle possible, and its inventor, Fairbanks grad student Josh Marino, hopes Kris will be the one to prove it works.

When the initial trials prove promising, Kris heads off to the mountains for a weekend of skiing with the ski school director and her daughter. But the three women encounter a fierce winter storm and are forced to take refuge in a trapper’s cabin.

Kris soon discovers the trapper’s mauled corpse. It seems a plane has gone down in the storm, and there’s some kind of monstrous beast on the loose…

Kris is learning to ski again after losing her sight thanks to some new sonar technology designed by her trainer Josh. She and her friends become lost in a snowstorm in the same area as a psycho-killer the police are trying to apprehend. Knowing the risk, Josh is doing all he can to be allowed to fly out to find them before it is too late.

This book had a really fast pace and short chapters that kept you on the edge of your seat which I liked. It kind of read like a movie though where the hero and the villain were larger than life and could not be stopped no matter what, which made it a bit unrealistic. The fear and cold were well written. I felt chilled throughout the entire book.

I loved this book, what a thrill, and so very scary. This is probably one of the scariest books I have read in a long time. Fast paced kept me reading it into the wee hours of the night. Couldn't put it down. Want a scarey thriller, this is the book for you. What a great author can't wait to read the next Michael Abbadon book.

Snowblind

I really enjoyed this book. I thought the odd bible reading and starvation then canabalism of a family made for a great creepy monster. However using random quotes through the book made it hard to follow sometimes exactly what was being referenced.

Good story

I don't what you would call this...a mystery or a horror. Perhaps it is a combo of both. Never have I read something so captivating. Lots of twists and turns with even a bit of love thrown in for good measure. Great read!

Good, but......

It was pretty suspenseful. But the last few chapters really stretched credibility. I'd recommend this book, as farfetched as it was.

Good story flow.

I enjoyed the book. Hope I never meet anyone like this monster. A great ending. Look forward to future books from this aurhor.

This is a stereotypical "killer-who-won't-die" story. Even with all of the cliched and expected plot points, it kept me on the edge of my seat most of the time. The author is skilled at creating suspense, and character development is good. Other than a few very minor issues, the book is well edited. The Kindle edition does have an odd font format, that prevents it from being enlarged to any great extent.

Violence is pretty heavy, as in most of this genre. It would make a great movie in the Halloween or Friday the 13th vein.

If you enjoy horror, give this one a try.
