My review of A Cold Season by Alison Littlewood

 

 

Blurb from the back cover

Cass is trying to rebuild her life after the loss of her soldier husband, and a renovated mil in the picture-perfect village of Darnshaw looks to be the idyllic spot to bring up her traumatised son, Ben.

But the locals aren’t as friendly as Cass had hoped, and Ben is beginning to display a hostility she can’t understand. Then the blizzards blow in, and Darnshaw is marooned in a sea of snow.

Now, threatened on all sides, Cass finds herself pitted against forces she can barely comprehend.

My thoughts on the book

This book is a definite page turner. From the start, there is an eerie, dark feeling to this book which builds consistently throughout to keep us guessing and wanting more.

Well written, with characters you will actually care about, I found myself drawn into this book and I couldn't wait to see how it would turn out.



Conclusion and rating

Well written, spooky and with plenty of tension and suspense, this book kept me hooked from the first chapter. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a good horror. 5/5

August's Reading List

 

August's reading list

 

1. A Cold Season by Alison Littlewood.                                 I fancy trying some new authors this month and I like the sound of this book, so I'm giving it a go!

2. Grey by E.L James                                                    After reading the original 50 Shades trilogy I'm not expecting a lot from this to be honest, but I still have to read it!

3. Broke by Mandasue Heller                                             She is being billed as similar to Martina Cole. I like her books but never seem to get the order of them quite right and often feel lost, so I'm hoping this will be similar but easier for me to understand.

 

4. Never Saw It Coming by Linwood Barclay                Linwood Barclay is one of those writers I have heard lots of good things about but never gotten around to trying, so I'm looking forward to this one.
