Who doesn’t feel a little murdery from time to time? In Donne’s The Bitter End, eight teens are stranded on top of a mountain, cut off by the snow and the lack of phones for their digital detox retreat. When one student turns up dead, it’s mostly chalked up to an accident. But when another is found, they aren’t quite so sure. Soon, it’s a race to figure out the culprit and escape the mountain with their lives. You can never go wrong with an Alexa Donne book, and I’m happy to report that this one is no exception!
