I’m coming off of two really good but long and complex reads to start the year (King Sorrow and Surprise, Kill, Vanish). I’m looking something fun and fast paced. The last time I was looking for something like this I found Falling and it was perfect. Since then I’ve also read Drowning and Worst Case Scenario and LOVED them! Anything in this same wheelhouses I can go to for a quick fast paced action thriller?

Next comes the hard part, as a handful of survivors begin an electrifying, red-hot, non-stop battle of survival across the continent and against wave after wave of elite military assassins-who’ve all come for one thing: a secret buried deep beneath the ice…
