Snow Drowned

By: Jennifer D. Lyle

Narrated by: Isabella Tugman

There’s a saying on Fall Island: if you’re not careful, the snow will get you.

Gracie Hutchinson has lived on Fall Island her whole life and knows there’s some truth to those words. Fall’s snowstorms have a spooky way of claiming people, making them disappear without a trace, or driving them mad. Now, with a hundred-year-storm approaching, most of Fall’s residents have fled to the mainland. But not Gracie. Left behind her with physician father, she braces for landfall.

Gracie’s not the only one stuck on Fall for the storm. Her classmate Joseph Wescott, descendant of the legendary pioneer who founded Fall Island, has stayed too. After a chance encounter, the two stumble across something more unsettling than the snow: a ritually mutilated corpse. By night, as the snow begins to fall, it becomes clear that whoever (or whatever) murdered the man they found has their sights set on Gracie.

Seeking refuge at Wescott Manor, Gracie feels safe surrounded by dozens of locals hunkered down in the huge house. But as the storm assaults the island, Gracie discovers secrets that have been kept since Fall was settled. If she can’t uncover the hidden history and terrifying truth about Fall Island before the storm’s end, she’ll be the next to disappear into the snow.

It had me from page 1

This was a great, entertaining read! It wasn’t too graphic which I appreciated. Tons of suspense!

diabolical is the only word that can be used to describe this one

there really aren't words right now. at first I was intrigued, then I was like um excuse me, and then I was like what?

Fun, gripping read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The plot was intricate and kept me guessing. Narration was a little overly dramatic, but the book was a dramatic, so it didn’t put me off. Fun read! And there was a satisfying ending with a nice set up for a sequel.

Narration needs more passion

Not a fan of the narration; it sounds very robotic like it was AI-generated, no emotion or performance to it.
