I’m a sucker for books set in cold snowy places. I am drawn to books where characters find themselves trapped, battling the elements while also battling to stay alive. Ronald Malfi nailed that criteria for me in Snow!
Todd Curry is rushing home to spend Christmas with his son, when an unrelenting snowstorm cancels flights he shares a car with Kate, a woman he met at the airport and a couple she also invited to travel with her. As they hit the highway, the snow continues to fall, and they come upon a man who claims to be looking for his daughter…
And we’re off in a snow filled, seemingly abandoned eerie town. There is no cell phone service and no internet – that is a nightmare for most. That feeling of not being able to call for help or make a call to a loved one. But there is a bigger nightmare out there!
This book was equal parts atmospheric, tense, brimming with dread and danger. I found myself rooting for the characters while keeping my fingers crossed for them throughout the book. Of course, readers will need to suspend disbelief and just go with it. I found this book to be entertaining and creepy. What a perfect book to read this time of year!
I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the narration.
