My Review:

The Chalet was a gripping and intriguing read which is hard to believe is a debut novel. This book is going to be hard to review as I don’t want to give anything away.

Firstly the author does a great job in setting the scene and her vivid descriptions helped me to visualise the stunning French Alps perfectly in my mind. Despite not being a huge fan of skiing I found myself wishing I was there alongside the characters, soaking in the amazing scenery and staying in the wonderful chalet!

The characters were all interesting creations who I enjoyed following throughout the book. They were all fairly unlikeable characters and I didn’t have any one character that I warmed towards. I thought this was great as it meant I was able to relax into the story and just enjoy what unfolded. The twist about half way through was very interesting and gave the reader information about what was happening before any of the characters knew. This helped add another layer of tension to the story and ensured I kept reading as I wanted to see what was happening.

This book is incredibly fast paced with lots of twists that kept me gripped until the end. There was always something going on to help keep my interest and although I tried to ration the pages I raced through the book in a couple of days. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Harper for my copy of this book via Netgalley.
