This book was so much better than I had even expected. It didn't fall prey to being a slow middle book in a trilogy where nothing happens. So much of book one was setting up plot points, and book two really connected so many of them in such a fluid way. It was a fun, fast read that has me looking forward to the third book in the series.
I absolutely adore A.K. Caggiano's writing style. This book is cozy, and invites you in to such a fun world. The characters are well fleshed out and I cannot wait to meet them again in the rest of the series. I feel like this book laid a solid foundation for the rest of the series. I was left with lingering questions about some unresolved plot points, but that definitely isn't a deterrent. In Villian's and Virtues it was so satisfying to see how she neatly incorporated all the introduced plot points, so I am excited to see what she did with this series.
If you are looking for a cozy, slow burn series or are just a fan of A.K. Caggiano then I definitely recommend this series.
I absolutely loved the concept of the story, it was a refreshing read in how unique it is. I loved that this major winter storm was turned into a horror story.
Unfortunately, the writing kept pulling me out of the story. We would be following someone's perspective in the novel and then the next paragraph would be a different person's perspective without any clear indication that we were switching who we were following. Also, I felt like I was being told what was happening more so than being shown, which detracted from what should have been some majorly creepy moments.
Overall, it was an interesting read. I don't regret reading it, but I don't think I would read it again.
