An unwanted guest / by Lapeña, Shari,1960-author.;
"A remote lodge in upstate New York is the perfect winter wonderland getaway ... until the bodies start piling up. It's winter in the Catskills and the weather outside is frightful, but Mitchell's Inn is so delightful! The cozy lodge nestled deep in the woods is perfect for a relaxing--maybe even romantic--weekend away. The Inn boasts spacious old rooms with huge wood-burning fireplaces, a well-stocked wine cellar and opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or just curling up with a book and someone you love. So when the weather takes a turn for the worse and a blizzard cuts off the electricity--and all contact with the outside world--the guests settle in for the long haul. The power's down but they've got candles, blankets and firewood--a genuine rustic experience! Soon, though, a body turns up--surely an accident. When a second body appears, they start to panic. Then they find a third body. Within the snowed-in paradise, something--or someone--is picking off the guests one by one. They can't leave, and with no cell service, there's no prospect of getting the police in until the weather loosens its icy grip. The weekend getaway has turned deadly. For some couples, it's their first time away. For others, it will be their last. And there's nothing they can do about it but huddle in and hope they can survive the storm."--

The end of getting lost : a novel / by Kirman, Robin,author.;
"The year is 1996--a time before cell phones, online status updates, and location tags--a time when you could travel to a remote corner of the world and disappear, if you chose to do so. This is where we meet Gina Reinhold and Duncan Lowy, a young couple of creatives, madly in love, traveling around Europe for their honeymoon. Or, Gina thinks it's her honeymoon--that's what Duncan has told her. She's just suffered a head injury while exploring the ruins of the Berlin Wall and now she can't remember the last year of her life. She can't even remember her mysterious accident, only waking up in the hospital with, thankfully, her beloved and doting Duncan by her side, ready to whisk her away to explore the world's most romantic locales. But in reality, Gina hasn't seen or spoken to Duncan in months. So why--and how--is he suddenly standing vigil at her bedside, miles from home and anyone they know? They seem madly in love now, but for how long can Duncan keep this charade alive, and how far will he go to keep Gina's past hidden from her? As they hop borders across Europe, the past catching them at every new destination, we see that Gina's memories might not be as elusive as her injury leads Duncan to believe ... The End of Getting Lost is a literary thriller and a love story, a tightrope act of deception as much as it is an elegant exploration of love and marriage, and our expectations of both when mirrored against reality. With notes of Patricia Highsmith, Caroline Kepnes, and Lauren Groff, Robin Kirman has spun a delicious tale of deceit, redemption, and fighting for who and what you love-no matter the costs"--
