The Winter House – P.R. Black

“Action-Packed, Bit OTT”

💜💜💜

Loved the premise of this book, and did enjoy it, but it went a bit too heavy on the faux-gangster element, forcing the exaggerated story line to cause a lot of eye-roll moments! The main character was a gangster, the brother was affiliated with gangsters, the old residents of the house – all was just a little bit too convenient and unbelievable, which although enjoyable because it kept the energy high in the storyline, made you less invested! The ending seemed to wrap up super quickly in the last 5 or so chapters, and didn’t really match the pace of the rest of the book. Good amount of characters, and not predictable – allowed you to come to multiple different conclusions as the book went on, though I personally preferred the first half of the book, rather than the slightly OTT wild second half, but it’s great for crime / gangster genre fans!
