Blood Gone Cold by Katy Grant

Genre:  Young Adult, Thriller, Novel in Verse

Source: I own a copy.

This is a quick read. The novel is told in verse. The story starts out with two sisters snowboarding with their parents, Abby is the nerdy one and Natalie is the popular sister.  They used to be so close. They are constantly arguing with each other. After returning to the cabin and arguing about what to do for dinner the parents solve the issue. The two girls can figure out what they are going to eat and the parents are going to go out for dinner.  Abby hides her sisters phone while she is in the shower. Then she goes out and sits in the hot tub.  She sees car lights in the drive and assumes it is her parents returning. To her surprise and horror it is not her parents but two men in a pickup.  She hides in the hot tub and hears them break into the house.  Now she is worried about her sister.  When they bring her sister downstairs she has to come up with a plan to save her sister and escape from these men.

This kept me on the edge of my seat. Abby comes up with the plan and Natalie is grateful.  This is a book that accurately displays the relationship between sisters and how it changes over time yet often finds its way back again.
