ARC Review: Dead of Winter

 I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

Dead of Winter by Darcy Coates

This is one creepy book! It starts out a little slow, with our narrator describing pushing through endless piles of deep snow (snow gets pushed through and described a lot in this book), but when it picks up it really picks up.

A bus full of people heading for a vacation at a lodge is halted by a tree felled in the middle of the road and some terrible winter weather. The group makes their way to a small uninhabited cabin, but wake up to their tour guide’s severed head on a tree right outside. Someone’s plan is to pick them off one by one. 

I couldn’t read this book at night, it was too scary. I guessed part of the amazing ending, but that didn’t take away at all from what a great twist it was (in fact, it made it even better because I felt so successful!). I definitely recommend this book.
