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.

This is only the second work I have read by Abby Jimenez, and I am feeling slightly remiss for not reading more of her works.

I loved this with everything in my being. This book tugged at my heartstrings and simultaneously made me cackle out loud. And maybe shout, "Abby, she cheated on him with who?!".

We were given the cutest meet cute, forced proximity, a plant nerd (be still my heart), the best of the best for friends, and a reference to burying someone under a protected species (um, hell yes). Oh, and old ladies that I want to be like when I am old. How could I forget them?

The characters in this book are everything and executed so so well. Heavy topics are covered, but done with grace and levity. Our main conflict felt like it wrapped up quickly, but damn was it a cathartic moment.

I got this book from Prime First Reads, but it would be worth anything you pay for it. If you want a short, satisfying read, I highly highly recommend it.
