As someone who has prophetic dreams, I found Theo’s nightmares deeply unsettling but in the best way. The first half of A Killing Cold was gripping, with great pacing and an eerie atmosphere that pulled me in. But as the story progressed, the pacing slowed, and the twists became increasingly convoluted. It felt like the book was trying too hard to be shocking, involving too many characters in a way that diluted the impact of the mystery for me.

Most of the characters felt one-dimensional, making it hard to connect with or root for any of them. While the premise was intriguing and the buildup strong, the far-fetched plot twists and implausible ending left me feeling underwhelmed. Overall, it was a decent read with a strong start, but the second half took away from what could have been a more satisfying thriller.
