Frost Bite by Angela Sylvaine
5.0
I came by this novel on Twitter, breaking that most cardinal of rules, judging it a fun and light-hearted read by it's cover. That turned out to be mostly true.
Angela Sylvaine has sculpted a cozy, believable small town complete with poorly kept secrets and discontent youths, and into this well-realized setting she drops a fairly unique alien conundrum.
Make no mistakes, this novel is the equivalent of the type of B-movies that once effortlessly earned their place on the front shelves of any Blockbuster. It is fun and dark and surprisingly savage both which it's characters' emotions and with the flesh and blood of its townsfolk.
The stakes here are real even when the novel takes surreal turns and I was enthralled. If you are a fan of stories in the vein of Critters, Night of the Creeps, or Stranger Things, pick up Frost Bite and a few boxes of your favorite movie snack.
