Summary from Goodreads:

A Catskills retreat turns deadly for a group of influencers when a snowstorm cuts them off from their greatest resource—their followers—just as a killer strikes in this irresistible debut thriller.

Sydney Kent is the ultimate It Girl. You want her effortless style, her charisma, her hair. You want to be her; you want to be with her.

But the trouble with a star is that everyone else looks dull in comparison.

Despite Caitlyn’s social media cunning, it’s impossible for her to step out from Sydney’s shadow. Even Lucy, Sydney’s best friend since before her fame, can’t escape her role as full-time photographer to the influencer.

But an unexpected snowstorm traps the group together with no cell service, no Wi-Fi, and no way out.

But where there’s danger, there’s ju

Review:

Made You Look by Tanya Grant started with promise but never quite delivered the momentum I was hoping for. The pacing felt sluggish from the beginning, and I kept waiting for the story to pick up, but it never really did. The tension that should’ve kept me turning pages just wasn’t there, and by the end, I felt little connection to the characters or their journey. While the premise was interesting, the execution left me wanting more depth and drive.

Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
