The Winter Sister by Megan Collins

2.0

---

Rounded up to 2.5. This book grabbed my attention right away and seemed like it was going to be really good, but the second half of the book was a disappointment. The dialogue was very surface level throughout, and because of that, I felt a lot of character depth was lost. This was true for every character in the novel - I didn't get a good sense of who they were, how they felt, etc and I ended up having no feelings whatsoever about any of them. I never really "felt" the tension between Sylvia and her mother, nor the terror I think the author meant for me to feel in certain scenes. The ending was quite predictable as well.
