A Killing Cold

I really loved this. I am a big fan of Kate Alice Marshall (loved What Lies in the Woods!). It started a teensy bit slow, but it picks up. I couldn’t put it down once I got into it (about 25-30 pages). I read it in under 24 hours! Theodora Scott (Theo) has had it rough. She doesn’t remember the first four years of her life, and her adoptive parents put her through hell. Still, she’s pulled herself up, living in LA and working at a bookshop. When she snags the man of her dreams, Connor, they have instant chemistry and are engaged within three months. It all feels like a fairytale. Connor is wealthy, charming, and a member of the powerful Dalton family. When he brings her to their family’s winter retreat for the holidays, Theo begins to experience some strange things. The place feels oddly familiar, like she has been there before. Connor’s family is less than welcoming. But also, there were menacing notes, telling her to stay away from Connor and that she shouldn’t have come. She tries to ignore the messages, but can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. And why does this place feel so familiar? Slowly, memories begin to come together, and Theo realizes that there are shocking secrets the family will do anything to keep hidden. It might just cost her everything… not just the new life she’s worked hard to create for herself. Her life is at stake.
