About this audiobook

New York Times bestseller Allison Brennan’s latest standalone is an unputdownable race to the dramatic finish.

After five years in hiding from their murderous father, the day Kristen and Ryan McIntyre have been dreading has arrived: Boyd McIntyre, head of a Los Angeles crime family, has at last tracked his kids to a small Montana town and is minutes away from kidnapping them. They barely escape in a small plane, but gunfire hits the fuel line. The pilot, a man who has been raising them as his own, manages to crash land in the middle of the Montana wilderness. The siblings hike deep into the woods, searching desperately for safety—unaware of the severity of the approaching storm.

Boyd’s sister Ruby left Los Angeles for the Army years ago, cutting off contact in order to help keep her niece and nephew safe and free from the horrors of the McIntyre clan. So when she gets an emergency call that the plane has gone down with the kids inside, she drops everything to try save them.

As the storm builds, Ruby isn’t the only person looking for them. Boyd has hired an expert tracker to find and bring them home. And rancher Nick Lorenzo, who knows these mountains better than anyone and doesn’t understand why the kids are running, is on their trail too.

But there is a greater threat to Kristen and Ryan out there. More volatile than the incoming blizzard, more dangerous than the family they ran from or the natural predators they could encounter. Who finds them first could determine if they live or die. . .

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars I don't read thrillers that often and maybe that's why I rated this higher than those who do. The action and suspense in this audiobook kept me wanting to listen every minute that I could. Just the thought of someone hunting kids in the Montana wilderness during a massive snow storm would have set me on edge, but the number of people and the different reasons for those hunting the children in the storm was almost more than I could handle. Then just when I'd think the story was about over and going to wrap up, it would go in a different direction. The author definitely got my attention and held it. A very well thought out plot. The narration by Eliza Foss was fantastic and lent itself very well to the story. Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the gifted audiobook. All thoughts are my own.
