Booklist - 03/01/2024 Senator’s daughter Milan, assassin Lenny, and dairy farmer Janie don’t seem like they should have anything in common. They don’t know one another, but they’re connected by a company called Prospect Power. Prospect is a fracking company: it pays Janie for her land before nearly destroying it, and pays Lenny to kill Milan’s parents, who were investigating the damage the company was doing to the environment. When the senator’s plane goes down, Milan miraculously escapes, going on a multiday survival trek through snowy, dangerous woods. Her mother told her not to trust anyone, before she herself died, and gave her daughter strict instructions to follow. Once Milan escapes the freezing mountain forest, Lenny will be looking for her to finish the job, and Milan is in a race against time and terror to get to her parents’ one trusted friend before she ends up dead, too. Milan’s trek through the freezing woods shows she’s clever, and readers will be intrigued and thrilled to see how it all turns out. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
