Grab something warm and curl up with A Killing Cold! 🥶 

 

 

 

Kate Alice Mitchell has done it again! Every year, I eagerly await her new releases, and A Killing Cold was no exception. As a fan of psychological thrillers, I love a story that keeps me on the edge of my seat, forcing me to question everyone and trust no one. This book was exactly that—packed with twists, turns, and a plot that kept me frantically flipping pages. 

 

One of the things I absolutely adored about A Killing Cold was the protagonist, Theo. In a genre often filled with morally gray or unlikable characters, she was a refreshing change. Theo has faced unimaginable hardship in her short life, and I found myself rooting for her every step of the way. I wanted her to survive, to thrive—and I can’t say that about all the characters in the book! 

 

As for triggers, I’ll share a full list below, but one important theme in A Killing Cold is hunting. There are graphic descriptions of hunting with a bow and arrow, as well as field dressing, which, while fitting to the story, were a bit too much for me at times. I found myself skipping over some of those paragraphs, but for readers who aren’t squeamish, it definitely adds to the atmosphere. 

 

The way this story unraveled was so well done—it’s a slow burn, revealing pieces of the puzzle one at a time. Just when I thought I had it figured out, Mitchell threw in another twist.  It was a thrilling ride from start to finish, and I know it’ll make my top favorites list for 2025.
