Snow by Ronald Malfi
3.0
This book felt very long to me. It started out pretty strong, but seemed to just go on and on and on and on and on.
To be fair, unless it's like demonic possession, supernatural monsters don't interest me much. The premise of the story interested me, but I never cared much for any of the characters to feel invested in whether they lived or died. I set out to read this when I did because we finally had a decent snow where I live and I wanted to read some books that take place during snowstorms. This did fit that bill. And the idea of the monsters was pretty original, but IDK, I just kind of wish there was more explanation about where they came from, why they were there, what was their end goal, etc. Are they intelligent beings? I just never really got a good feel for them. I did like the creepiness of how they moved through the snow and were able to get into spaces as snow and then form into the whirlwinds that then could enter the humans.
I would probably recommend it if someone asked for a snowy horror book, but I would definitely say that for me, it was a very slow burn (probably from all the snow, ha ha).
