Snowblind is a thriller with a paranormal element, and I am finding it rather gripping. I’ll share the opening lines:

Ella Santos stood on the sidewalk with a cigarette in her hand, watching the snow fall and feeling more alone than she ever had in her life. The storm seemed to loom around her, holding its breath and waiting for her to go back inside.

Not ornate, but language is not the strength of this novel. The pacing and atmosphere will only ramp up from here.

This quotation comes from an uncorrected advance proof and is subject to change.
