The Winter People
by Jennifer McMahon
I went into this one really wanting some good spooky snowy New England vibes, and they were definitely there, but not enough. I wanted more eeriness, more horror, more ghosts; this book just didn't scare me in the slightest.
Sarah's "diary" was suspiciously written just like the rest of the book and not at all like a diary, especially not one from 1908. The writing felt disorganized and disjointed. Keeping track of the different perspectives and timelines and how much each of the characters knew at any given time was unnecessarily confusing. About 60% into the book the plot becomes a bit too far-fetched, and the characters make some really silly decisions.
I also thought it was gross that the ultimate villain turns out to bethe "mystical" Native American woman . Her acts of revenge that set everything in motion seemed implausible, nonsensical and totally out of character.
*Listened to audiobook
