Winter
Oliver D. King · November 2019 ·
supernatural and beyond for all adults, all teens+YA
Winter Maessen didn’t ask for the gift of prophecy. She’s happy being a freak—but now everyone thinks she’s crazy. Or evil. Goths aren’t all the same, you know. Some are Christians …
Christians to whom God sends visions.
Students at her university are being attacked, and Winter knows there’s more than flesh and blood at work. Her gift means she’s the only one who can stop it—but at what price?
Book 1 of the Winter series.
A short take: this is an interesting but uneven book with a nontraditional protagonist and a blend of paranormal and spiritual warfare tropes. Winter’s an unusual character, and her “prophet” status is also interesting, if the implications aren’t explored as much as I like. It can be a bit edgy, and I’d think Christian readers who enjoy paranormal fiction would enjoy this as well.
Keven looks to be working on a sequel to this, and I’m interested to see in how it develops. Winter has potential to be a very strong character indeed.
