“It’s an icy New Year’s Eve. Snow blankets a windswept Irish island as the wild Atlantic Ocean rages. Six friends gather. It has been ten years since the tragedy that tore them apart. A lot can change in a decade… Childhood bonds are now lifelong secrets. Dear friendships have twisted into deep jealousies. A happy reunion is shattered by a dead body. The celebrations have barely begun when one of the guests goes missing. As the snow thickens, the body is found. Then the storm wreaks havoc on the island. Everyone is trapped – there is no way out. No electricity. No phone signal. Nobody knows who to trust. No one is who they seem. Because one of them is a killer, and one will be dead next…”

The Snowstorm is one of those books that I picked up due to the genre, and the obvious conventions that it was going to include, but I didn’t love it; I finished it with my feelings very in the middle.
It tells the story of Cara and her small group of childhood friends as they reunite after not seeing each other for a decade, only, tragedy hits and one of them dies before their reunion. To make matters worse, they are reuniting for the anniversary of Cara’s husbands death.
I went into this one so sure I was going to love it, for obvious reasons; it has the perfect story to tell in an even better location, but there were so many times I found myself becoming confused with how the story was told. I’m not sure if it was just me, but it felt a bit too much for the length of it; there was too much information but not enough time to tell it.
A short one, but, as always, thank you to Bookouture for the ARC!
All the love,
