I like the cover a lot, however, this is not a Christmas novel if that crossed your mind. The book is interesting, I enjoyed the read, and read till 3am this morning. This is my second attempt to read the book, but my aim was to read it and cross off my tbr shelf and I did. The story starts on gross crime taking place. The book is about a writer who writes as for her hobby, it isn't about the money, she could as well not write at all but simply life off her dad's money which was left to her after his death. But she prefers to write as there is nothing else she enjoys more and not like she has any other family and the "significant other" person or children. She lives alone, her publisher is her best friend and recently she is not feeling at ease anymore because of the threat letters she has been receiving for nearly a year and although she ignored them, those have never stopped and become more and more creepier. Then out of sudden she wakes up being taken care by people who say they are emergency room employees and suddenly she knows she was pushed on the traffic in daylight and her fears get real this is related to the letters. I am not going to write the spoilers, how this develops any further, but it was interesting, however, I choose to give 3 stars / 2.5 start because my analytical mind said since the very start when the crime started to take place, the characters didn't do enough as being in their roles would have been (police investigation's) (blame my previous read books in the genre), these actions suddenly are taken in consideration at the closure and this downsized my likeness/reality aspect of the book. this had a really nice saying in front of book and it goes like this: WHEN WE ARE BORN INTO THIS WORLD, WE DO NOT CHOOSE THE FAMILY WE ARE GIVEN, ONLY THE FRIENDS WE YEARN TO KEEP. THROUGHOUT MY LIFE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, SOME FLEETING, SOME STEADFAST, WHO STOOD, NOT BY ME, BUT WITH ME, THROUGH THE PROVERBIAL THICK AND THIN. I CANNOT NAME YOU ALL, BUT YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND I CHERISH MY PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. YOU HAVE UNSELFISHLY GIVEN ME BOTH YOUR PRESENCE AND YOUR TIME. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT, IN RETURN, I DID NOT FAIL TO RETURN THE FAVOR. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Synopsis:
Mystery author Caitlin Bennett is the target of a deranged fan who progresses from mailing threatening letters and rat parts to pushing her into traffic. Against her wishes, Caitlin’s publisher asks ex-cop, Conner “Mac” McKee to provide protection for her. However, just as she begins to feel safe, the bodies of women who bear a remarkable resemblance to her are discovered and Caitlin realizes that she could be next.
Review:
An entertaining romantic suspense novel even if the plot is predictable.
The characters are well developed and engaging. Caitlin is intelligent and independent, finding it difficult to place her trust in Mac even though he is strong and capable of protecting her. They have a tangible chemistry and their romance is sweet although they do seem to get over their differences quite quickly.
The villain is seriously disturbed and even though his motive is far from original, it is fun trying to work out his identity. It shouldn’t take too long if one is following the clues.
The writing is strong, the dialogue flows and there is a good buildup of tension and suspense. The ending is fast-paced but ultimately feels a little anti-climactic.
In sum, Sharon Sala is a first time author for me. Even though Snowfall is a light and entertaining read, I’m not sure I would go out of my way to get another of her books. Nevertheless, if I came across one at the used bookstore, I’d definitely read it.
