It's a struggle to figure out how I feel about this book. I think the pacing was the main issue for me. The book is mind-numbingly boring as we follow Ellerie's daily life in this small town as everything begins to fall apart around them, and we also race through half a year of time as they try to survive the winter.

All the time, things are slowly falling apart, the townsfolk are turning on each other, accusing everyone else of destroying crops, or ruining life-saving items, or killing livestock. That aspect of the book, paired with a supernatural element as the driving force of all this, was the most interesting. The creepiness of watching weird shit happen to Ellerie was fantastic. 

However, most of my good feelings about this book were overshadowed by the romance. It made sense in a way and I was fine with it, but with how huge the pacing jumps are in the narrative, it was hard to believe in the love story when they wouldn't even see each other for weeks. Three meetings, and they're already half in love.

This was worth it for the great atmosphere and look at a small town falling apart with supernatural reasons in the background. The audiobook narrator was incredble, bringing life and emotion into the story that really made it work more than when I was reading it as an ebook.
