"Dark Christmas" by Elena Reitman

It all started when Lena's grief-stricken mother opened a turnaround road in hopes of bringing back her dead son, Ben. But in doing so, she unleashed terrifying snow creatures that hid in the snow, and whether people were looking for people or not, the snowballs were blind and relied on sound. Lena and Chase met on the highway just as her father and Govord (an elderly neighbor) were looking for Lena's mother. By mistake, Lena was left in the middle of the forest on the highway in a blizzard, and Chase picked her up. That's when it all really began. The kids—Bobby, Lena, Chase, You, Ellie, Evan, and Cassie—found themselves in a supermarket. Josh (Lena's ex) tried to blackmail her by telling everyone it all started with her mother, but his plan backfired, and the kids escaped just in time. And then... After closing the turnoff road, Evan's victim, Ellie, and Brandon (the supermarket cashier), were sucked into that world along with the snowballs, and everyone went their separate ways. Chase, Blaine, and I disappeared for a year, while Lena, Bobby, and Cassie lived together and supported each other. Afterwards, Blaine secretly kidnapped Lena, Bobby, and Cassie and brought them to his headquarters. You were there too. Blaine was told that Chase had become a Misnyak and was killing everyone in sight, trying to get some kind of super-cool bomb to blow up the turnoff road and save his brother, and that was all he could think of. The guys were angry at Blaine for kidnapping them, but they still accepted the idea of ​​saving Chase. Some time later, Blaine kidnapped Lena, Cassie, Bobby, and now you, too, but you were already traveling to Siberia on a train with Misha, the driver. how Blaine was told that Chase was in Siberia and was looking for some Russian scientist who was an expert on these roads and could tell Chase how to open it to save his brother.
