my review
Ella is still struggling to find her place in Winterspell, after years of feeling shunned but for a few. Because of it, she’s living with one foot out the door. But things seem to be changing for her, settling into a life in her hometown she never though possible.
I love Orion and Ella! Not just their romance, but the way they work together, too. And the mystery elements are fantastic, lots of twists and turns that take the reader to places they won’t expect. The action, too, is well paced throughout the story, keeping me turning the pages.
As with the others in the series, this book has a lot of deeper themes than you often find in cozy mysteries. Ella’s personal struggles, making amends with those she left behind. The ostracism and treatment of her, the shunning. But these elements are what make these characters so relatable. I appreciate that depth!
