Sheriff McQueen enlists his son, Gabriel, to drive up the mountain and check on Lolly Helton. There is an ice storm brewing and Lolly doesn't have a phone or TV and might not be prepared for it. Gabriel would rather not make the trip since Lolly was his high school nemesis and they never got along. But, as soon as he arrives at Lolly's home, he sees strangers with guns in the livingroom and has to get Lolly out of the house as soon as possible. But with the ice freezing everything, including Lolly who isn't dressed for the storm, where will they hide?

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The suspense was fantastic, the villains were scary and the hero and heroine were both interesting characters. My only problem is the book was too short. It could have been so much better if it had another 100 pages and more time to work on the romance portion of the book. Maybe they could have been stuck on the mountain for a few more days. My rating: 4 Stars.
