Summary
Mila and her husband Ethan are on their way to her sister’s wedding at a luxurious ski resort. As they drive through the mountains, surrounded by snow covered forests, Mila feels like everything is finally going to plan.
When the car engine suddenly stops and won’t start again.
Stranded, with night closing in, they make their way on foot back to where they saw a sign for some cabins.
When they finally reach them, they find the windows boarded up and the buildings in disrepair. They have the eerie sense they shouldn’t be there.
With snow falling more heavily, they have no choice but to break into one to spend the night.
In the morning when Mila wakes, Ethan is gone.
Now she is all alone.
Or is she?
A totally gripping and spine-tingling psychological thriller with twists and turns that will leave you breathless. Fans of The Sanatorium, The Hunting Party and The Castaways will be completely hooked from the very first page until the final, shocking conclusion.

A good book
Likeable characters, a good storyline but I feel, that there was quite a bit of irrelevant content that made bits of the story boring

Disappointing
The narration of the book was excellent, and I thought it was a very good story.
However, the constant moaning of Amelia, putting herself down, constant self pity became very wearing.
In my opinion ruined a good story.

Not great
Got this audio as I really enjoyed stranded. This one starts well, finishes well (but far too late), but is like walking through the deep snow of Vittaburg for the most part.
Narration is good and the narrator does well with what is ultimately a very annoying and whiny lead character. Plot could have been much better; I’ve no idea why you’d sit and starve for 4 days, fearing mortal danger, and not just walk to the road.

An enjoyable listen
Enjoyed listening, with an interesting settin.
However some elements were predictable and slightly on the verge of being too unrealistic. Towards the end lots of unnecessary side plots.

Spooky Winter Wonderland of Thrills!
I am a big fan of Sarah Goodwin after reading and thoroughly loving "Stranded" and being about to scoop up "13th Girl" befor literally stumbling across "The Resort". I am always checking my favourite author's pages in the hopes of a "coming soon" which I can preorder ... but this one somehow managed to get by me!
I have also listened to a few audiobooks narrated by Imogen Wilde and enjoyed them but I have to sadly say narration is a stumbling block in this one - not sure actually how much can be blamed on Imogen Wilde and how much the production but there are vast gaps between sentences and particularly chapters. Thrilled with discovering this hidden gem by Sarah Goodwin I snuggled up in bed to listen to it and just when I was beginning to relax .... ooops a gap. I kept picking up my ipad to see if I had yanked the headphones out, or had the recording stopped and it was super jarring.
Either the productio/narration improves or I got used to the over long gaps and stop start nature of the read but eventually I did settle in to it but I feel this is something that can still be easily fixed in post production so hoping Audible may put a call in as it really is very annoying.
Mila is a quite unlikeable character, so generally I am not sure if it is the excess of air left in the read or the grating, ever chirpy, spoilt younger sister persona which rubbed me up the wrong way - but if I feel like this might have been a far better read than listen.
It is however, thanks to the superb writing and genius plot still a fabulous thriller and talented storytelling I soon got so absorbed in it that the narration and whatever production issues stopped niggling and I enjoyed 100%.
I usually prefer my location thrillers to be all about sun, sand and turquoise waters .... but something about "The Resort" is just so magical and mysterious and reminds me a tiny bit of "The Village" by M. Night Shayamalan in its claustrophobia. other worldliness and ramping tension.
In a world where it is so hard to find a top notch thriller written with real skill and verve, this is a real winner.
