Ooh, this was a fun, fab scary story. I loved it. Its nicely structured, and builds. The pace is good, not too fast, not too slow. I liked the concept and the central character.
It’s kind of what you want in a scary story, not so implausible that you can’t believe it, just plausible enough that when you think about it you can see it might be a thing. I like wolves and snow and animal stuff and this had just the right amount of tension to keep me going to the end.
It’s a short story, so you need it to keep moving. I liked the descriptions and the suspense kept ratcheting up. It has a deeper concept behind it, but I confess I didn’t overthink it. I just sat back and enjoyed it for what it is, a really fast paced, fab piece of work.
A bit like taking a sports car out for a spin on the last sunny day, wind in your hair, touch those brakes before the bend and forget those speed cameras. You know underneath that motor is humming and the noise is getting inside your head and it all means something, and winter is coming but you’ll think about that later on.
It’s a deep, dark, snowy tale, full of animal instinct and primal power. I read it all in one sitting. Indulge yourself and afterwards go out into the garden and howl at the moon.
I was given a free copy of this to review.
