About this listen

In this propulsive locked-room thriller debut, a reunion weekend in the French Alps turns deadly when five friends discover that someone has deliberately stranded them at their remote mountaintop resort during a snowstorm.

When Milla accepts an off-season invitation to Le Rocher, a cozy ski resort in the French Alps, she's expecting an intimate weekend of catching up with four old friends. It might have been a decade since she saw them last, but she's never forgotten the bond they forged on this very mountain during a winter spent fiercely training for an elite snowboarding competition.

Yet no sooner do Milla and the others arrive for the reunion than they realize something is horribly wrong. The resort is deserted. The cable cars that delivered them to the mountaintop have stopped working. Their cell phones - missing. And inside the hotel, detailed instructions await them: an icebreaker game, designed to draw out their secrets. A game meant to remind them of Saskia, the enigmatic sixth member of their group, who vanished the morning of the competition years before and has long been presumed dead.

Stranded in the resort, Milla's not sure what's worse: the increasingly sinister things happening around her or the looming snowstorm that's making escape even more impossible. All she knows is that there's no one on the mountain she can trust. Because someone has gathered them there to find out the truth about Saskia...someone who will stop at nothing to get answers. And if Milla's not careful, she could be the next to disappear....

Critic reviews

"Deep in the breathtaking winter bleakness of the French Alps, revenge - and perhaps even murder - is most definitely afoot.... This suspenseful debut thriller by a former freestyle snowboarder contains both style and substance." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

“[A] gripping debut thriller...Reynolds writes with the same fast-paced intensity of an energy drink-fueled trip down the slopes. Alongside its central mystery, Shiver offers an intimate look at the convoluted relationships of athletes who excel at a sport most people are too cautious even to attempt--including what happens when the truth becomes inescapable, both because of the blizzard and other equally unpredictable forces.” (Shelf Awareness)

“Allie Reynolds’ aptly named debut Shiver sent chills up my spine! This taut and twisty thriller follows five former snowboarding champions trapped in a deserted ski resort, each hiding dark secrets about their shared past that pit them against one another. Cancel all your plans because once you pick up this page turner, you won't be able to put it down until you've reached its shocking conclusion!" (Katherine St. John, author of The Lion’s Den)

you think you know a person...

karma, guilt....each character struggled with many emotions. So many times I had changed my mind on the characters. just when you think you like someone, they change...and vice versa.

felt familiar....

but still was good to listen to. I enjoyed the journey and I am a huge fan of the alternating time lines format. Even though I figured out the "whodunnit" part it didn't take away from the reveal. And I see a bunch of negative reviews for the in depth description of snowboarding, while I am not a sports fan AT ALL, I did find it interesting and needed for the storyline / characters. If you like whodunnit / isolated mysteries, then this is the book for you.

Great thriller

Enjoyed the drama of two women pushing each other further than they would go on their own. Also, the retribution that comes back to you if you treat others badly.

Not bad

Not a bad read at all. 3.5 stars rounded up. Closed door mysteries are always enjoyable. Mystery in the past, meets mystery in the future. What can go wrong?

Somewhat unbelievable

But entertaining. Felt like it drug on forever at times. Still held my attention. I have read better murder mysteries.

Feel like snowboarding!

If you like the trill of snowboarding, mystery, & murders you'll like this story. I enjoyed the snowboarding in the Alps, love the atmosphere since I love to ski & snowboard. I admire those who are pros, the story gives you a look into their world. The narration was well done and I did like the switching past to present format. It worked well I think to that sense of fear, do you really know a person.

Great Book with a twist

This book was performed very well. I could feel the different characters come to life. the story line was unique and had a bit of a twist ending. I willed up reading this one again.

great read, great voice

It's just a fun summer thriller but I thought it was very well done, I liked the back-and-forth between the present day and 10 years ago, and the narrator does a great job on the Different regional British accents.

Worth the credit

This is the perfect listen for a cold housebound weekend. It pared perfectly with organizing my garage and cozying up by the fire with hot mug of chai after. I read a few scathing 1 star reviews citing “too much technical snow boarding lingo” and “too young adult”. Neither of those things is even remotely true. It’s a well crafted mystery and the narrator was perfect. Ignore the weird haters.
