About this deal

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. The tension runs like a tight thread throughout the narrative; but though we never forget the threats that surround the group, getting closer all the time, we are allowed moments of wonder.

But soon, he is given a mission: to find someone known as The Producer, supposedly the creator of this crazy world he’s found himself in. In fact, it would make one heck of a thrilling movie or TV series, so I’ll be crossing my fingers on that score. I understood immediately their happy, freeing hope of girl time over vacation and knew quickly that a hike would only lead to bad.This year it’s Liz’s turn and she’s chosen something a bit different from the norm, climbing adventures in the Norwegian wilderness, in particular climbing Blafjell mountain. I don’t usually go for books like this, so in case you’re wondering why I decided to give The Hike a try despite the publisher description clearly indicating that this will be a totally insane and off-the-wall experience, it was because of two words that jumped out at me: video games. As story of friendship, secrets, adventure, thrill seeking and underhanded deeds, The Hike is an adrenaline filled tale that I absorbed from the minute I opened this book to the last word. There is a death and a thriller plot imbedded in this book on which the peril hangs, but it is merely a means to the real end of the story, which is looking at the dynamics of the women’s friendship, and is of secondary interest to this.

The atmosphere is very good, the Norwegian setting provides and adds a great deal of mood and ambience to the developing drama. Seems silly as nobody would attempt to climb a mountain in bad weather without the right equipment and preparation. The Hike navigates tough terrain and luscious fjords, but it also navigates motherhood, envy, longing, how to grapple with your worst possible instincts.I received a gifted advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review as part of the book tour hosted by Insta Book Tours. An edge-of-your seat thriller where the sense of menace ratchets higher with every step along the hiking path. All in all, a solid popcorn thriller that was different than the usual "is my husband secretly a killer?

It starts out with one of the best opening sentences and from there it is as twisty as you think it will be.We are not responsible for the republishing of the content found on this blog on other Web sites or media without our permission. Seeking the escape of a lifetime, four friends hike out into the beautiful Norwegian wild – nothing between them and the mountain peak but forest, sea and sharp blue sky.
