darcijo's review against another edition
4.0
This book was a page turner from the beginning. Really enjoyed the characters and will probably read more in this series. I read it on my kindle and there were several mistakes, a word left out or written twice but I just glossed over that to keep reading.

First line: "It was just a dull thud, a sound that drifted down to him as he lay in the deepest fathoms of his sleep."
It's funny how a decade can make you forget everything that happened in a book you've already read. This was the book that propelled my binge-reading of the Kincaid series, and I'll be forever thankful for it. It's also spurred a re-reading of other books I've read and loved in the past, so this should be interesting coming back to them so many years later.
Dead of Winter is a solid sequel to Dark of the Moon. In this follow-up, Louis Kincaid gets hired onto a police force that has just lost an officer killed in their own home. Louis takes an interest in the case but of course, things are never as they first appear. He's also dealing with the ramifications from the tragic events in Mississippi. His mental state is not in the best condition and he does some things that, though maybe understandable, are unexpected for his character. He is, and will always be one of my favourite characters, but he seriously needs to unload some of his baggage. I also forget to keep in mind that he is super young right now and has already been dealt a worst hand than some people get in a lifetime.
Between the first two books, there are a lot of very bad cops. I'm getting burnt out by the constant distrust but from what I remember, the next books change it up which I'm grateful for.
