Voices in the Snow by Darcy Coates
4.0

I had a lot of fun reading this book! This is my second from Darcy Coates and I enjoy that she has now delivered the perfect amount of tension twice.

This book was a particularly fun read as you couldn’t quite figure it out: was she seeing things? Is she being haunted? Is someone actually there?

Similar to The Haunting of Ashburn House, the ghostie isn’t what you expect it to be! Another similarity is your frequent questioning of the main character’s survival instincts. Hers, however, I can understand better as she lost all memories of the car crash she was in and the events leading up to it.

If you’re looking for a true ghost story- this isn’t for you as *SPOILER ALERT* :

They are significantly closer to zombies than ghosts. Mutated humans with a focus on finding a way to sate their hunger.

Now, I will say that I do think the mutations went a bit to far imo and kinda took me a bit out of the story.

Similarly- the love interest angle felt a little bit forced, but I did enjoy it! I just feel that the character of Dorran (and his mother) made it feel as though we were further back in time than we were.

For the items mentioned above- 3.5 rounded to a 4.
