About the Book:
After talking her way into a job writing for Portland’s Northwest Extreme magazine, Meg Reed may now really be in over her head. Actually, about 8,000 feet over her head. . .
She’s at Mount Hood’s remote Silcox Hut, covering the seriously hardcore Ridge Rangers—Oregon’s elite high-altitude rescue team–during their four-day winter training. Sure, Meg beefed up her outdoor skills over the summer . . . but she’s still hoping to cover the event with some hot chocolate by the cheery fireplace. Then, during a sudden blizzard, she swears she hears gunshots. No one stranded in the hut believes her . . . until self-absorbed Ridge Ranger Ben Rogers is found outside in a pool of frozen blood. Meg’s now got to find this killer quickly . . . before cabin fever does them all in!

My Thoughts
I fully intended to read the first book in the series prior to reading Slayed on the Sloped by Kate Dyer-Seeley, but I ran out of time. Fortunately, Slayed on the Slopes was a book that was easy to pick up and jump right into, even if you hadn’t visited Meg and the other characters in this fun series. I was able to follow along and quickly get immersed in this awesome story. I thoroughly enjoyed the setting and really felt like I was on a trail in the Pacific Northwest. The adventure tips and guides at the end of the books in this series were a nice touch. I know if I lived in that area of the country, I would definitely want to check them out. I will be reading the first book in the series, Scene of the Climb, soon. I enjoyed Slayed on the Slopes and want to spend more time with these characters. This is a series I will continue to follow.
