dark emotional mysterious medium-paced

4.5

A brilliant mystical thriller that actually made my blood run cold. It’s a story about grief, coping with loss - and the consequences of being incapable of doing so. With a sprinkle of ancient magic and legends, and set in a small village, “The Winter People” creates an eerie atmosphere of an inbetween world where everything has a price. I felt like the book was filled with an ominous and dark feeling of dread. 

I really enjoyed Jennifer’s writing, she’s a masterful storyteller who managed to intertwine the past with the present. Diary entries make you feel like you’re actually taking part in the investigation.

I’d say it’s a perfect choice for cold winter nights, but even in August I couldn’t put it down and my last reading session ended at 2am 🫠
