A review by the_sassy_bookworm
Memento Mori by Rosie Cranie-Higgs
Did not finish book.
⭐⭐⭐
“Memento Mori” by Rosie Cranie-Higgs is a psychological horror and suspense novel that takes place in the snowy and stark Swiss Alps. The book skillfully combines Scandinavian folklore and dark fairy tales to create a creepy and atmospheric atmosphere. Set in the terrifying world of Whiteland, the story follows Kira McFadden as she is dragged back into this strange realm. As she tries to find her missing friends and family, Kira must navigate the seductive creatures and unravel their riddles. With the world of Urnäsch on the brink of collapse, Kira and her ally Freya, a huldra monster turned human, must outmaneuver witches and ghosts to save their loved ones.
Unfortunately, “Memento Mori” was a DNF (Did Not Finish) for me. When I signed up to review this book, I don’t recall seeing a note about it being the third book in the series, although I may have missed it. The writing itself is well-crafted and the story is original and atmospheric, which are all excellent qualities. However, I felt too lost while reading the first 50% of the book to fully appreciate the story. Therefore, I am putting it aside for now and may revisit it after reading the first two books in the series.
