The Shuddering
Ania Ahlborn
5/5 MUST READ
The Shuddering was so good ! I would recommend this book to any lover of horror, It had a distinctive Until Dawn vibe. (Until Dawn is a PS4 game, in which the outcome of is influenced by your choices along the way,I highly recommend that game as well.)
Ahlborn has such a talent, the creatures in this story just crawl off the pages and the secluded snowy mountain/cabin setting in her hands is so immersive. The terror and claustrophobia of such a vast space is hard to portray and she nailed it- it's a page turner. Another stand out point for me is something you don't get from too many horror plots, is the connection to the characters, the more you read the more you know them and grow the insatiable need for them to get to go home a live happily ever after and then you remember what your reading and that's most likely not going to happen. From very early on in the story I loved Sawyer, Jane and her twin Ryan, they have so much to hope for but I read with a heavy heart knowing that they probably weren't going to ever leave their fancy cabin in the mountains...and the ending AHH! I need to know more !
Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to binge read everything Ania Ahlborn has written.-I'm obsessed.
