There's just too much thrown at the wall here. Vampires, wendigo, aswang, multiples cases of hidden identity, a cannibalistic prologue that's promptly dropped. It's not that well tied together either, and I'm still not sure why the book doesn't have a laser focus on the aswang, which is a creepy creepy figure that hasn't been done to death already, instead of messing about trying to be all things to all readers.

The snowy sense of landscape was well done, though. Really gave the book a sense of place.
