- Reading
- Try the opening together, then check in about the horror atmosphere and threat. If your reader wants to continue, agree on a stopping point or read further alongside them.
- Themes
- Supernatural danger: Lannie's touch can freeze people, and she threatens Meghan with a lethal outcome. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Love and rivalry: Meghan and West are in love; Lannie wants West for herself and their relationship is described as destroyed. The setup makes romantic rivalry part of the conflict, but does not establish how the story treats Lannie's possessiveness or the couple's relationship.
- Worth knowing
- A character threatens to freeze Meghan to death, and the freezing is described as icy and cold, like death. Consider whether this perilous supernatural premise feels manageable for your reader.
