Have you ever had a time when you looked forward to a book a ton and then it didn't live up to expectations?
This is what happened for me regarding Winter, White and Wicked.
The reason why I eventually DNF'ed was because I was so confused regarding the part real and part fantasy world that Sylvi lived in. I could not pinpoint the location, time period, or much else.

Rating: 1/5
No content list for this one since I did not finish. However, there was one death already.

"Brielle went to the city to chase her dreams and found tragedy instead. She’s come home to shabby little Stratus, Oregon, to live with her grief and her guilt . . . and an incredible, numbing cold she can’t seem to shake.

Jake’s the new guy at school. The boy next door with burning hands and an unbelievable gift that targets him for corruption."

I'm a sucker for a good angel/demon book, and this one didn't disappoint. The quick description above describes the beginning of the book very well. Brielle is wounded and looking for some peace, and Jake is there to help her when she needs it the most.

I liked the characters in this book very much. Brielle and her dad, and Jake and his guardian, Canaan, were the perfect protagonists/MCs as they were very likeable, and Brielle and Jake showed definite growth as the story progressed. I wish we could have found out what the tragedy was that brought Brielle back home sooner rather than later, but when we did learn what it was all about, it was worth the wait. The story took off in a new direction when we did, which made the story even more intriguing.

In summary, I enjoyed this YA angel/demon story very much, and give it an enthusiastic 5/5 stars!
