The story pulled me in right away. Finding a mass grave because the ice thawed is already chilling, but putting Sadie right in the middle of Alaska’s wilderness made it feel even heavier. I love when a thriller has that cold atmosphere where the environment feels just as dangerous as the killer. It gives you this constant tension you can almost smell on the page. Sadie is the kind of character I connect with — sharp, capable, but carrying pain. She’s tough because she had to be, not because it looks cool. I like that she’s flawed, scarred, and still shows up to do the job when everything around her is trying to break her. That emotional weight makes the investigation matter more to me. It’s not just “who did it,” it’s “how far can a person be pushed and still keep going.” The pacing is fast — a page turner. Lots of twists, some you can predict if you’re used to crime series, and some that hit out of nowhere. It’s not trying to be poetic or philosophical, but it doesn’t need to be. I don’t mind a gritty, raw thriller as long as it keeps me hooked and makes me feel that isolation and urgency. Being Book 10, you’re dropped into years of character history, so I do think reading the series in order would make the emotional side hit even harder. The editing could be cleaner — there were a few little slip-ups that distracted me, but I still enjoyed the ride enough to overlook them. For a dark, intense crime thriller with a loner heroine and a brutal northern landscape? It delivered what I wanted. Not a literary masterpiece, but a solid, moody, addictive crime story that keeps you guessing and makes solitude feel dangerous.

Keeps me on my toes.
Glad there is finally the ending that Sadie deserves
