A review by natrosette
Frozen Rage by Steve McHugh
3.0
I have to say that the book isn’t quite what I expected. It’s not so much a cozy supernatural murder mystery as it is a chaotic and fast-paced book in which people get murdered. Don’t get me wrong, the determination of who committed the (multiple) murders is a primary part of the plot. But it’s not so much that we’re following a list of clues as we are trying to keep up as all hell continued to break loose.
Of course, just because the book didn’t conform to the expectations I extracted from a single line of the synopsis, doesn’t make it bad. On the contrary, once I got settled in, I found the story quite enjoyable. At the same time though, I did feel like there were a few too many characters and outside events squeezed into this little novella for me to understand everyone’s motivations, which made it frustratingly difficult to make a good guess as to the murderer(s).
This seems like the perfect book (and possibly series) to sit down and read when you don’t want to think but rather just be sucked into a fun world. The snarky characters make for a great time, and the wide variety of supernatural beings (werebears, banshees, telepaths, and necromancers) also contributed to the entertainment.
If a chaotic, murdery wedding attended by werewolves, werelions, and a number of other supernatural creatures sounds like a fun time to you, I worry for your sanity. But if it sounds fun to read about, I definitely recommend you give Frozen Rage a try.
