“We all do what we think is best. Sometimes we make terrible
mistakes, sometimes we do the right thing.” Truth.
17.14 The Winter People
It has been so hot here, and for so long, I’m dying for
cooler temps. I want to wear jeans, use blankets, wrap up in sweaters, and this book brought me some of
those much needed chills. It is creepy in a way that makes you want to be in a
very large, open space. No woods or caves to be seen, or to be seen in.
What I
loved most was how it spun a ghost story as well as a mystery; both well
developed and well plotted. Plus, we shift between an old diary and present day
action, which is my favorite.
There are some similarities to other stories that have come before but
it is a quick and easy read that made me want to look for the author’s other
work immediately. Not sure the last time that happened but it is certainly a welcome
feeling. I just hope I can read the next one curled up on the couch with a hot
cup of coffee instead of sweltering by the pool being splashed by wild
children.
