dark mysterious tense slow-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

This story of a woman alone with her daughter during a Christmas Day blizzard would have made for an excellent short format horror story.  Instead it is dragged out to novel length unnecessarily. By the end I disliked the book so much that even the terrific twist/reveal and ending couldn't save it.  If only we'd gotten there sooner.
