They’re only ten miles from their destination, Larissa’s handsome and rich boyfriend Leo’s mountain chalet, and all they need is a quick tire change to get them there. When the tow truck arrives, it feels like a huge relief.
Until Bridget realizes the flat tire wasn’t an accident.

79 books181 followersSometimes I think writing makes me crazy, but then again I'd probably be even more crazy without it. There are a lot of things I do to balance out though: traveling, distance running, hiking, reading, orange juice, tennis, food fights, walking out of movie theaters telling the people in line that Harry Potter dies, cooking ethnic food, and competitive napping.

❄️1/5
A masterclass in how not to write a thriller about kidnapped women.
I went into Ski Trip expecting a psychological thriller. With some skiing. What I got was a baffling chain of irrational decisions, flat characters, and a plot that escalates from absurd to insulting.
Three women are deliberately run off the road, witness a murder, kill multiple attackers, and flee through a forest … only to show up at one of their boyfriends ski chalet, lie about everything, have a shower, dry their hair, take a nap, pitch a business plan, and flirt with the guy. Yes really.
Later, after being physically assaulted, auctioned off, sexually abused, and locked in a freezer, they still somehow find the time to eat a load of cake, make sure they pick cute ski outfits to escape in. Don’t escape on the motorized ski mobiles, going back in to the chalet, so they can escape on skis…yeah that’s totally a better idea.
At no point do they ask the nerdy friend - who is constantly playing games on her phone - to actually use her phone to call the sodding police!! Because she’s obviously in on it. Cue the ‘psychological twist’ Because spoiler alert - or not so spoiler alert because it’s glaringly obvious - the nerdy friend is a bad guy.
That’s not even the worst part…
The worst part? The final scenes involve escaping via skis, killing a third attacker, then voluntarily getting into a car with a woman who was literally trying to buy them earlier.
The fmc’s reaction: “The police will get in touch eventually.” Not, “I should probably go to a hospital.” Not, “Call the police now.” Just… back to the dorm for a nap. Trauma, apparently, is something to sleep off.
There’s a way to write tension and trauma with nuance. This isn’t it. The female characters felt like caricatures, written without a shred of insight into how women might actually respond to violent, degrading, life-threatening events. Their reactions were either bafflingly blasé or so tone-deaf it pulled me straight out of the story.
This could’ve been a gritty, psychological escape thriller. Instead, it reads like an action script written on autopilot. One that forgot its protagonists are meant to be people, not plot puppets.

I had relatively high hopes for this one, as I drive on route 7 alone quite frequently when I drive up to visit my boyfriend in Vermont, it should be easy for a story like this to thrill me. However, I couldn’t have been more BORED by this book! 90% of the issues they come across in this book would’ve been avoided if the girls would’ve just open their damn mouths! What do you mean you didn’t tell your boyfriend that a group of scary men chased you for miles through the woods because it would “ruin his night”?? And then later, saying her parents are going to be so mad they have to buy her a new phone because she lost her old one while trying to survive being trapped by a psychopath? GIRL WHAT?!?! I’m no longer trusting my facebook group with recommendations.

So intriguing
What a book! Enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to reading the other ones. I was a little disappointed in the ending, but then I seen where this is a trilogy, so hopefully will get some answers about some loose ends. I definitely will be reading all the books in this series. How could a so called friend betray your trust so bad?? I hope there is major payback coming! If you enjoy reading thrillers this is one you definitely need to read.

Ski Trip by Jason Letts was a predictable but enjoyable read. The story follows Bridget and her friends as their ski trip turns into a dangerous fight for survival. While the twists were easy to guess, the fast pace kept me engaged. The characters were interesting, though not very deep. The suspense made it a fun read, even if it wasn’t surprising.

Slightly offensive.
Kind of an old storyline with a weird twist. While it was entertaining, it wasn't very believable. The characters have the attention span of a gnat. One minute they're being tortured and the next they escape and are looking for cute outfits to get away in. I probably won't rush out to find the rest of the trilogy.

Slow 2/3 of the book. I figured out the twists pretty early on. This will be another trilogy by the author, Mind Trip will be book 2.
The Girls’ Trilogy started off much stronger than this new trilogy.
