Summary
Four hikers enter the mountains。 Only two return。 But is it tragedy？ Or treachery？
When sisters Cat and Ginny travel with their husbands to the idyllic Swiss Alps for a hiking holiday， it’s not just a chance to take in the stunning scenery。 It’s an opportunity to reconnect with each other after years of drifting apart—and patch up marriages that are straining at the seams。
As they head into the mountains， morale is high， but as the terrain turns treacherous， cracks in the relationships start to show。 With worrying signs that someone might be following them， the sun begins to set and exhaustion kicks in。 Suddenly， lost high on a terrifying ridge， tensions spill over—with disastrous consequences。
When only two of the four hikers make it down from the mountain， the police press them for their story—but soon become suspicious when their accounts just don’t add up。
What really happened up on that ridge？ Who are the survivors？ And what secrets are they trying to hide？

Sometimes hiking alone is best。 I don't want to drop any spoilers by accident so， I'll keep my review simple。 I did not at all like the way this book ended。 I felt cheated， like， where is the rest of the book？ Oh， and Jenny got on every last one of my nerves to the point I was almost tempted to not finish the book。 I was glad I stuck it out though， until the end， because I didn't like it。 Overall， the book was enjoyable。 Sometimes hiking alone is best。 I don't want to drop any spoilers by accident so， I'll keep my review simple。 I did not at all like the way this book ended。 I felt cheated， like， where is the rest of the book？ Oh， and Jenny got on every last one of my nerves to the point I was almost tempted to not finish the book。 I was glad I stuck it out though， until the end， because I didn't like it。 Overall， the book was enjoyable。 。。。more

This is a solid attempt。 What the author attempted to use as foreshadowing was pretty see through and it wasn't hard to figure out what was going to happen on their little 'hike'。 Even so， it kept me interested throughout。 Glad to finally have an Amazon First Read that I'm not disappointed in。 This is a solid attempt。 What the author attempted to use as foreshadowing was pretty see through and it wasn't hard to figure out what was going to happen on their little 'hike'。 Even so， it kept me interested throughout。 Glad to finally have an Amazon First Read that I'm not disappointed in。 。。。more

The Hike - great readI loved the twist and turns in this book。 It kept me turning the pages quickly。 I would highly recommend The Hike to anyone who loves a good suspenseful drama。

This book was an Amazon first read， which is good because I would've been mad if I had actually paid for this book。 Not a single one of the characters was likable or relatable， and I was really hoping that there would be additional accidents that just took the entire crew out。 The plot twists were also unbelievable and growing more far-fetched towards the end， and I just wanted this story to end。 Not my favorite。 This book was an Amazon first read， which is good because I would've been mad if I had actually paid for this book。 Not a single one of the characters was likable or relatable， and I was really hoping that there would be additional accidents that just took the entire crew out。 The plot twists were also unbelievable and growing more far-fetched towards the end， and I just wanted this story to end。 Not my favorite。 。。。more

This book had a lot of great twists。 Slow to read at times but enjoyed not being able to guess what comes next！

I couldn't finish the book。 The writing seemed as though it was written by a middle school kid who had no experience with actual relationships。 Characters and dialog seemed extremely unrealistic。 I couldn't finish the book。 The writing seemed as though it was written by a middle school kid who had no experience with actual relationships。 Characters and dialog seemed extremely unrealistic。 。。。more

Awful。 Slow moving。 Terrible characters。 Unrealistic events。 Someone else mentioned in their review giving up on Amazon First Reads。 I might be heading in that direction as it seems like they get worse and worse。 The entire story moved too slowly and was very predictable。 I kept thinking that maybe there would be a surprise with who was left at the police station the next day after the hike， but alas， there was no surprise and it was exactly the people you'd guess it was。 The characters were ter Awful。 Slow moving。 Terrible characters。 Unrealistic events。 Someone else mentioned in their review giving up on Amazon First Reads。 I might be heading in that direction as it seems like they get worse and worse。 The entire story moved too slowly and was very predictable。 I kept thinking that maybe there would be a surprise with who was left at the police station the next day after the hike， but alas， there was no surprise and it was exactly the people you'd guess it was。 The characters were terrible and I knew right away who the person in the woods that was not part of the group of four was。 The ending was completely far-fetched and unbelievable。 。。。more

Suspenseful thriller！ Great book， so twisty and definitely keeps you guessing。 Wrapped up wonderfully， and still could have gone so many different ways！

I skimmed a lot because none of the characters were likeable enough for me to care about any of them。 I don't hate all the twists as much as others have expressed but the book still required WAY too much suspension of disbelief for me。 I skimmed a lot because none of the characters were likeable enough for me to care about any of them。 I don't hate all the twists as much as others have expressed but the book still required WAY too much suspension of disbelief for me。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I have mixed feelings about this book， but my strongest feelings are these。1。 I need to be invested in at least one character。 I need to be able to root for someone， understand someone， care about someone。 That is not the case in this book。 I really didn't care if anyone survived this so called vacation。 These characters are flat， emotionless， the worst human beings I have encountered in fiction。2。 But the one star is because of the ending。 The fact that Cat pulled off her plan was disgusting。 A I have mixed feelings about this book， but my strongest feelings are these。1。 I need to be invested in at least one character。 I need to be able to root for someone， understand someone， care about someone。 That is not the case in this book。 I really didn't care if anyone survived this so called vacation。 These characters are flat， emotionless， the worst human beings I have encountered in fiction。2。 But the one star is because of the ending。 The fact that Cat pulled off her plan was disgusting。 At least I hoped she didn't get the money， but it all neatly works out for her。 3。 I suppose I should be able to suspend reality and view this as "just a story，" but fiction mirrors reality， and the fact that she plays her sister， husband， boyfriend， and the cops and still comes on top， I just can't do it。 。。。more

What an absolutely awful book。 I was going to stop reading after a few pages but it was short and I only needed two more books to hit my yearly target so I persevered。 The writing is dreadful - immature and ridiculously cliched - at some stages， I was truly embarrassed for the author。 How did she ever get this published？ There were even spelling mistakes！ How this has achieved so many stars， I cannot imagine。 Maybe she has a lot of friends？ Every character is despicable and ugly。 Such a shame to What an absolutely awful book。 I was going to stop reading after a few pages but it was short and I only needed two more books to hit my yearly target so I persevered。 The writing is dreadful - immature and ridiculously cliched - at some stages， I was truly embarrassed for the author。 How did she ever get this published？ There were even spelling mistakes！ How this has achieved so many stars， I cannot imagine。 Maybe she has a lot of friends？ Every character is despicable and ugly。 Such a shame to end the year on a book like this after I’ve read some brilliant， intelligent books this year。 。。。more

This was an Amazon Prime selection I chose and I’m happy with my pick！ Easy and entertaining crime fiction。 I didn’t see the ending coming！

All the characters are always using bad language and fighting amongst each other with all that foul language。 I found all the characters unlikeable because of this。 Very difficult to even finish， but I did。

Everyone has good & bad aspects to their personalities， but when every single primary character is purposefully sociopathic & non-repentent and completely lacking in self-awareness， the only thing driving the writing is an attempt at contrived drama。。。not enough to warrant the time it took to read this。

Amazon First Read。 Interesting story。 Lots of suspense that begins with the final scenes。 The author takes us through the story slowly。 I have to admit。 I didn't particularly care for any of the characters。 Amazon First Read。 Interesting story。 Lots of suspense that begins with the final scenes。 The author takes us through the story slowly。 I have to admit。 I didn't particularly care for any of the characters。 。。。more

A fun read with several twists。 If you've ever had a casual thought that you might like to push someone in your life who needles and annoys you off a mountain， this may be the vicarious experience for you。 A fun read with several twists。 If you've ever had a casual thought that you might like to push someone in your life who needles and annoys you off a mountain， this may be the vicarious experience for you。 。。。more

I had to really work on finishing this one。 All the main characters were just awful people。 I am all for a well written anti-hero， but each main character was so driven for themselves with no regard to anyone else and no redeeming qualities whatsoever。 The whole plot was quite ridiculous， and hard for the reader to suspend that much disbelief。 There were also alot of unnecessary details to fill the book。 Additionally， few unanticipated surprises in a thriller as the author spelled everything out I had to really work on finishing this one。 All the main characters were just awful people。 I am all for a well written anti-hero， but each main character was so driven for themselves with no regard to anyone else and no redeeming qualities whatsoever。 The whole plot was quite ridiculous， and hard for the reader to suspend that much disbelief。 There were also alot of unnecessary details to fill the book。 Additionally， few unanticipated surprises in a thriller as the author spelled everything out too much。 。。。more

A decent 2⭐️ thriller for when you just need one of those。 Everyone is comically terrible and if you accept that it’s an okay ride， just don’t go in expecting a good book！

Many SurprisesThis book was a page turner with many twists and turns。 Enjoyed the characters interactions and overall story。 Didn’t like the ending， but I usually never do。

The twists and turns were pretty good。 I didn’t see them coming！ The main reason I gave it 4 stars was that the book is multiple POV， but it wasn’t labeled for each chapter。 So it would switch chapter to chapter and you had to figure out which person was representing that chapter。 It wasn’t super hard， but just labeling the chapter based on the person， would have helped。 I know it would have been tricky for the “after it happened” stuff at first， but it could have been done。 Obviously this is ju The twists and turns were pretty good。 I didn’t see them coming！ The main reason I gave it 4 stars was that the book is multiple POV， but it wasn’t labeled for each chapter。 So it would switch chapter to chapter and you had to figure out which person was representing that chapter。 It wasn’t super hard， but just labeling the chapter based on the person， would have helped。 I know it would have been tricky for the “after it happened” stuff at first， but it could have been done。 Obviously this is just something that bugs me lol I’m sure some people don’t care！ 。。。more

I thought this was pretty good - I didn’t work it out until the end and I stayed interested in figuring it out。

I was thoroughly enjoying the suspense and twists in this book until the last twenty pages when it went crazy， unbelievable and confusing。

The HikeCat has a plan and the plan is to get revenge on her family once and for all。 I enjoyed this book not really knowing how it was going to play out。 Nice twist at the end。 The only negative thing I have to say is I thing a search party would have been sent out sooner I don't think the police would have waited 。 The HikeCat has a plan and the plan is to get revenge on her family once and for all。 I enjoyed this book not really knowing how it was going to play out。 Nice twist at the end。 The only negative thing I have to say is I thing a search party would have been sent out sooner I don't think the police would have waited 。 。。。more
