Starts out as a slow burn, but then really picks up. Initially, it was difficult for me to keep track of the characters and story. As the story moves along things start to make more sense and by the ending I was able to tie things together. It's not as fast paced and suspenseful as I usually prefer, but one that many will enjoy, especially if you like the them of surviving childhood trauma.

Thanks to NetGalley and Severn House for a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The book starts off slow but that's okay for me because I like slow burns. The book is easy to read. There were twists that surprised me and others that were predictable. I guess when you read a lot of thrillers, it just becomes easier to figure things out. The book didn't blow me away, but I did enjoy it, and I do recommend it

Years earlier, Rose was 14 and Lily 7 when they ran away during a snowstorm. Lily wakes up alone in the snow and spends the next 25 years searching for her sister, who does not want to be found. When a child Lily works with a s a social worker is found dead in the snow in the present day, she becomes involved with the investigation. This was okay. I didn't really like Lily or Rose all that much. I kind of saw the ending coming earlier than it was spelled out more obviously. 2.5 stars rounded to 3.

I really enjoyed A Cold Whisper, though it wasn’t without its flaws. The multiple viewpoints kept things fresh and added depth, especially as the story alternates between Lily’s present-day struggles and the haunting mystery of what happened to her sister, Rose, all those years ago. The many characters introduced kept the suspense high, though it did get a bit tricky at times to keep track of everyone.

The chilling atmosphere of the snow-covered woods was well done, and the plot really picked up as dark secrets slowly came to light. Lily's work as a social worker and her personal trauma were compelling, and her journey to uncover the truth about Rose was both gripping and heartbreaking. The only downside was that sometimes the shifts between characters felt abrupt, but overall, the twists kept me on edge. Definitely a chilling read worth the time.

The multiple points of view and character introductions took a little while to grasp, but it finally clicked into place, and then the plot just kept me guessing! Every time I thought I knew what was about happen, the plot thickened and added more suspense. I really couldn’t put the book down and finished it over two days! Did not see that ending coming!!

The Snow Sisters takes readers on a haunting journey of mystery and trauma, Fourteen-year-old Rose and seven-year-old Lily flee their abusive home during a violent blizzard, but their plan goes tragically wrong. Rose vanishes, leaving Lily alone in the cold woods. Separated from her sister, Lily is left to grapple with a nightmare that she can never fully escape. This book keeps you hooked until the last page. Amazing.

Do you enjoy a thriller which leaves you questioning your gut? If so, this is the book for you, with engaging character development and various plot twists which will keep you wondering.

Hard to keep track of the characters at first but towards the end it all made sense. Great twist and turns!

I loved this book! No one is who you think they are and this story really keeps you on your toes. And the last 20% is absolutely mind blowing! Couldn’t put it down! I loved getting the different POV’s. I did not expect that ending at all!

From the very beginning, I was HOOKED. I truly enjoy dual POV books, but this book extra close to home as all of my career up until last fall was as a CPS worker. The book gives four different POVs and although it is a slow burner, it gets SO SO SO good! I was completely on edge and entangled in the story line. With one plot twist, no one sees coming!

A very different book indeed! Told with multiple characters, it starts slow but ends on edge of your seat thrill! If you like difficult relationships and trauma, then you'll enjoy this book.

I want to thank NetGalley for having this available to read.

I just couldn’t get into this book at all. Two points of views and I just couldn’t concentrate and kept forgetting who was who. It was a slow burning book at the beginning too
I got to 25% and I couldn’t go any further

Such a great book. Couldn't stop reading it. Thank you for my advance reader copy. Can't wait to look up other books from this author.

This was an ok book, at times I enjoyed it, the story also dragged at times, and I really did not like one of the characters, until the end, that was the best part of this book. Rose and Lily are sisters who had a traumatic childhood, and one night during a snow storm Rose decided they were going to leave, though because of the storm, they had to shelter in the woods to wait it out. When Lily woke up Rose was gone, Lily was found and eventually ended up in care. She goes on to become a foster worker, helping place difficult kids, Rose disappears into the seedy life style, making her living by selling her body and forgetting about it by doing illicit drugs. Rose returns to the same city Lily is in and it's not long before Lily starts to see her or think she's seen her. A child is found dead, one that Lily had worked with and the police become involved, one of the police, Hunter, is known to Rose who had returned to work at a strip club, the owner is very shady. The story is told from mostly Rose and Lily's POV, and for the most part it works, the chapters are short and the pace is good, except when it gets bogged down by too much detail. I did finish, and by the end I had guessed the bad person, but not the why. Overall, I'd recommend if you enjoy stories of survival from childhood trauma. Thanks to #Netgalley and #Severn house for the ARC.

This was a solid 4.75 star read for me [ rounded up ], not 5 stars because the beginning was a bit slow paced. However the rest of the story picked up and it was very well paced after about 40 pages. Please don't DNF this book, it's starts out more like a slow burn but picks up. We have 4 different POV's with date stamps [ I love this ], Hunter, Daniel [ step-brothers ], Rose and Lily [ sister's ]. Their stories do all intertwine over time. This story was all that it says it was... dark, twisty, suspenceful, and sad. If you are looking for a good thriller this is it! Casey did a fantastic job at delievering.


Please check trigger warnings before reading.

Thank you NetGalley and Severn House for providing me an arc to read for an honest review

3.50 stars

The multiple points of view in the beginning took a minute to decipher what could possibly be going on. The multiple povs make none of the narrators reliable. Once the pace picked up you had to keep reading to figure out the family mystery and secrets. Some twists were predictable while other weren't.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book. I would give this novel 3.75 stars if I could.

A Cold Whisper is an eerie, atmospheric thriller with a chilling premise, though it took a while to fully pull me in. The book had variable pacing—some sections moved quickly, while others dragged, especially in the beginning for me. The writing felt clunky and overly descriptive at times, making certain passages hard to follow. I found myself rereading sentences to make sure I understood them. This is the biggest reason I can’t give the book 4 stars.

The novel provides pieces of Rose’s backstory, but I wished Lily’s character had been explored more deeply. Still, the mystery kept me engaged. Around 75% in, I had predicted a big part of the twist, but this actually kept me more intrigued. I wanted to finish to see if I was correct. While I found some plot points predictable, there was still a decent twist, and the tragic ending left an impact.

Overall, A Cold Whisper is a solid, if slightly uneven, psychological thriller. Readers who enjoy slow-burning mysteries with dark family secrets and a haunting atmosphere may enjoy this one.

In my opinion, the book started slowly. I felt like the beginning dragged, but that could just be me. I don't often enjoy books told from different points of view or multiple narrators and this one is told by three. However, after getting through the beginning of the book, it became something I couldn't put down. I kept feeling like I was missing something or that everything wasn't what it seemed. I HAD TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN! I read a lot of thrillers and it isn't often that I am surprised, but Casey Dunn delivers!

Thank you to NetGalley, Casey Dunn, and Severn House for the opportunity to read an advanced copy!

This book begins with a story about two sisters and what one decision can do to make things go spiral... it's told from multiple points of view. Mostly the two sisters Rose and Lily, but also the two detectives, Daniel and Hunter. Which are two half-brothers.

The book is easy to read. The first chapter is a prologue that will make you want to read more! What happened that night. That is the question Lily wants answers to.
A medium-paced story will grab you by the throat and you don't want to stop reading. It is a very well thought story, incredible and intriguing. In the end, it all comes together. My goodness, the end was not quite what I was expecting.

A thriller about secrets, relationships and the consequences of one final decision...

I really found this book to keep my on toes, Lily, Rose and Daniels perspectives give totally different points of view and allow you to build a picture of what happened before BAM, Casey Dunn throws in a plot twist no one sees coming!
