I received my copy of Winter Shadows from the author, Casey Bond, in exchange for an honest review.
I really, really loved this book! Oh man!
The Cover
It's gorgeous! I can't get over the simple and gorgeous reflection in the glasses. I need to get this in print for my shelves.
The Characters
Claire: Seriously?! I am not sure she could be any more amazing in this book. She is smart, beautiful and crazy talented. What girl do you know that can out fish AND out shoot every guy?
Ethan: Oh, Ethan... I love thou. He is so freaking sweet it should be criminal. Can I keep him from myself?
Colin: My, my.. what can I say about him? He was so great and definitely memorable. I can't say much more without ruining the story. He alone is worth the read!
The World
I was a bit wary at the beginning because it felt like I was just thrown in the story without any clues as to what exactly was going on for a little while. Though, once I finally began to put the pieces together I was hooked. The constant danger kept me on my toes and I loved it. You never knew when things would take a turn for the worst. Many times, I felt like screaming at the characters for taking risks. I feel in love with all three of the main characters.
My Emotional Coaster
I loved Ethan so much that I was nervous about the introduction of Colin, because I didn't want my feelings toward the idea of Ethan and Claire to be spoiled. What I got was much worse. I loved them both! It was like trying to watch two of your favorite shows at once with split screen. I didn't know which I wanted more at the time.
As I approached the end of the book, I considered putting it down. The situation was growing increasinly worse and I didn't think I WANTED to see how it ended. The mere thought of how bad it could be made me nervous. I was afraid I would be hit with a huge cliffhanger at the end, and quite frankly I don't think I could of handled it if there had been. Call me a baby, but I would of broken down and cried... I am sure of it.
Alas, I finished the book. SO MANY EMOTIONS! It was rough, heartbreaking and beautiful. That is all I will say on the subject. I am not one for spoiling the fun, even if you want me to.
Side Notes
This book is a pretty short read, but DO NOT let that lead you to believe it's a light read. This is not a light read.
Overall, if you enjoy dystopians, mystery and sweet guys then you need this book!
