The Shuddering by Ania Ahlborn - 283 pages
They only come when it snows, and nobody ever gets away.
A group of close friends gathers at a secluded cabin in the wintry mountains of Colorado for a final holiday hurrah. Instead, it may be their last stand. First a massive blizzard leaves them marooned. Then the more chilling realization: something is lurking in the woods, watching them, waiting...
Now a weekend of family, friends, and fun has turned into a test of love and loyalty in the face of inhuman horrors. The only hope for those huddled inside is to fight—tooth and nail, bullet and blade—for their lives. Otherwise, they'll end up like the monsters' other victims: bright pools of blood on glittering snow, screams lost in the vast mountains.

This book was great for the last 100 or so pages. Before that it seemed more like a love story than horror, but I understand that build up needs to happen. I just think it was a bit more than I wanted to see in a horror book. I liked how the author described the "hellions" as well as their actions, they sound pretty scary. Overall, the book was good, but the ending was fantastic!
