Synopsis

Chilling holiday horror about an unhappy couple running from their problems and straight into the maw of a terrifying beast, perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay and Sara Gran For the last year, Holly and Brian have been out of sync. Neither can forget what happened that one winter evening; neither can forgive what’s happened since. Tonight, Holly and Brian race toward Pinebuck, New York, trying to outrun a blizzard on their way to the ski village getaway they hope will save their relationship. But soon they lose control of the car—and then of themselves. Now Sheriff Kendra Book is getting calls about a couple in trouble—along with reports of a brutal and mysterious creature rampaging through town, leaving a trail of crushed cars, wrecked buildings, and mangled bodies in the snow.

I finally caught on towards t......more

A couple decides to go on vacation to a small ski resort town. An accident happens as a devastating blizzard with whiteout conditions hits. What follows is a story about emotional trauma, strained relationships, and a monster in the snow. This isn't your typical monster story. Yes, there's a creatur......more

Read as an ARC. This has a really good plot. It took me a while to get into it. The plot twist just came out of nowhere. It didn't build up. It was... you turn the page, and oh ok. There's one answer. Overall, I did enjoy this book. I loved Holly's and Brian's dynamic. It really portrays trauma and h......more

Goodreads review by Kelli on April 25, 2025

Always Swipe Left, if a horror novel is described as atmospheric, literary, or philosophical! Our Winter Monster was described in just a way, that it barely fell under my radar, unfortunately! There was barely, enough real horror and some action included, along with certain stand-out characters to he......more
