Wow. What an incredible read. Whiteout is 2 romantic suspense novellas in 1. Buried in the Shadows by Dani Pettrey follows Cassie, who has a stalker. What she didn't tell her Joel, ex-fiancé, was that her stalker had threatened his life. Now they are together for Joel's sister's 4-day wedding party at a resort, but Cassie's stalker has followed her there. Buried in the Shadows has an avalanche, the wedding group seeking shelter from the wintry elements and wolves, a stalker, and murders. Who is Cassie's stalker, and can she and Joel have a second chance at love? This story kept me guessing and had a couple of surprises.
Snowbound Secrets by Lynette Eason is fast-paced and centers on Maya who is being targeted by someone. This story has plenty of action and danger. I did suspect who was behind it but didn't suspect their true motive. Eason added twists and turns in Snowbound Secrets.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

You'll never look at a winter ski vacation the same again after reading Whiteout! Both of these novellas happen is a snowy vacation location but, of course, there is some kind of mystery/suspense going on. Both of these authors are awesome writers and these stories combine great characters, beautiful scenery, and enough action and suspense to keep you glued to your book. From stalkers to old loves to old friends to - avalanches!!! And that is just in the first few pages. If you want a great winter book(s), this one is for you! I received an advance copy from the authors but all opinions are my own.

Whiteout is a great winter read of two novellas. Buried in Shadows by Dani Pettrey pulled me in, and I read it in one sitting. The next night, I read all of Snowbound Secrets by Lynette Eason. Each story has a mystery and an urgent need to find out who the bad guy (or girl!) is. I can't wait to get a physical copy of this book when it releases!

Suspenseful stories set in Colorado winter with wonderful characters and interesting plotlines. Glimpses into people's psyches, fears, greed, and dreams. Worth the read. This book was provided to me through #NetGalley. The opinions expressed here are my own.
