✨ What to Expect

Dead of Winter by Keri Beevis

Okay, so first off — it’s a quick read. I’ll give it that. The pacing is fine, the setting screams “classic thriller” with all the gloomy winter vibes and remote locations you’d expect. I could practically feel the frostbite on my nose and the hot cocoa in my hand… until I realized I’d read this story before. And before that. And maybe once more, but with different character names.

Don’t get me wrong — it’s not bad, it’s just painfully predictable. You’ve got your mysterious deaths, your brooding main character running from a dark past, and that one person you know you shouldn’t trust from page ten (and guess what? You’re right). I kept waiting for the twist that would slap me across the face — but it never came. It just politely tapped my shoulder and said, “You’ve seen this movie.”

So yeah, fast-paced? Yes. Atmospheric? Sure. Original or mind-blowing? Not even close. I wanted Dead of Winter to chill me — instead, it just mildly annoyed me like a cold draft you can’t find the source of.
But ey that’s just me.
