5 Stars

This was my first Darcy Coates that I actually finished and wow, my jaw was in hell for a majority of this book. The cover is what initially drew me in since I don’t read the synopsis of books and I thought it would be a perfect book to read during the month of December. What I wasn’t expecting is how much this book would shock me and how much I’m still thinking about it even after it’s done.

The twists and shocks start very early in this book and they never seem to stop. Just when I was getting over the shock of one twist, here came another one that I didn’t see coming. The atmosphere added so much to this book for me, the way the snowy wind was described and how frigid the temperature was actually made me cold a couple of times.

The ending of this book was definitely the part that shocked me the most, it was twist after twist and even though I thought I knew who the killer was, I was completely wrong. I had to backtrack a couple of times to make sure I was really keeping up with the story and wow, it really blew me away. Not very many thrillers or horrors shock me as much anymore but this one had me cringing, shivering, and almost not believing what I was reading. I’m very excited to continue on with Darcy’s books now if the rest of them are as good as this one.

Thanks so much to Poisoned Pen Press for the complimentary copy for my honest review.
