I received an ARC of this novel. I have to say the cover art is beautiful and intriguing. It draws you in. However what the cover art does inspire differs dramatically from the novel itself.
I wanted to like this book. However the character's themselves are completely unlikeable. The main character is a complete self centered, egotistical, narcissist. I couldn't stand her at all. The book strongly stereotypes different kinds of people. It is extremely biased. To the point it is actually offensive.
It wasn't well thought out or delivered. It was jumbled together. The story was so outlandish at times. Like the author forgot to set the scene. I just can't with this book.
There are just too many things wrong with it.… (meer)

Sixteen-year-old Charity Jones is bullied for being bi-racial and a skeptic. When her mother brings home a teen runaway, and her worst enemy becomes brutally slain, her life doesn’t begin to change as much as a battle wages for her fight.
It is very easy to understand why Alexander’s YA novel is nominated for so many awards. She has the ability to carry both the YA market and an adult audience along on a supernatural fantasy. Her surprise ending comes as a mixed surprise, yet she’s satisficed readers and set herself up nicely to write a sequel. -Review can be found at Le Coeur de l'Artiste http://www.djadamson.com/le-coeur-de-lartiste/archives/03-2017

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I really enjoyed this book. It had a few things thrown in that it could have done without, but all in all it's a great combination of loveable characters, a very unique twist to a certain "snowy" holiday. If you love mystery, a bit of romance and fantasy. I'd definitely recommend. A++

Alexander's holiday cheer is smashing. It won't give you a chill of horror, but keeps you rocking in your seat, as you read eagerly to see what will happen next. Take everything you know about the evilness of Santa and place it in a box. "Snowed" has a new twist on the Krampus spirit and to think the REVENGE we'll just have to wait until the snow falls again to find out how it will spill.
