This was the type of vibe I was looking for and I'm happy it delivered. It was a quick paced mystery that also gave cold wintery vibes. I liked how half of the story was told in journal entries because they came from the main character of Ashley who I thought was interesting and entertaining. I wasn't necessarily shocked or surprised by the secrets in this story but I did like the reasons behind all the secrets which kept me intrigued. While I don't think this will be a very memorable story it was a good one to pick up during this time of year!
