"Gray After Dark is based on the real abduction of biathlete Kari Swenson near Big Sky, Montana in 1984. The book isn’t a replica of her story, nor is it trying to be - more so inspired by the events and subsequent media coverage/public perception that glorified these gross ‘mountain men’. I appreciated what the author was trying to do, and I think it worked well.
The story was disturbing, suspenseful and all the more heartbreaking knowing the ties to reality."
"Word of advice: You will need to control your OWN breathing as you read this book.
This was the first book I have read written by Noelle W. Ihli and half way through it I ordered two more of hers it was that good already. I enjoyed the short chapters and the way the author changed POV to the different characters throughout the book. This was such a fast pace book, one you could not put down for very long because you had to know what happened next.
The story follows an Olympic athlete known for competing in the biathlon. It explores the trauma she endured both before and after being abducted by mountain men. The book does go into some graphic detail but that only made the story and her survival more real.
The author did an absolutely amazing job connecting all the characters, their histories & the current events together. This allowed for such a smooth transition from chapter to chapter. The character development was next level, you truly felt like you could feel and know what each character was going through.
This is a book I would read over and over again, and definitely will be recommending to others.
I absolutely rate this book 5 stars !!
Thank you to NetGalley & Dynamite Books for my advanced copy of “Gray After Day” by Noelle W. Ihli. "

"This needs some trigger warnings…. Badly. Otherwise I really enjoyed the book, cool that it’s very loosely based on a true story. Wasn’t in the mood for this kind of book when I started it but it was very easy to get into. Main character starts out as insufferable but has great character development."
