Winter Takes All

 Winter Takes All was a fun cozy I found on my kindle when looking for a title with Winter in it for a mini prompt for a challenge.  I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it was to read about Crystal and her new found career in outdoor adventures.  It was a nice mix of setting and description mixed with mystery and clues.  I look forward to reading more in the series in the future.  

Winter Takes All by M.L. Erdahl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. I kind of stumbled upon it on my kindle while trying to complete a mini challenge of a book with a season in the title. I really liked the level of description of the time Crystal spends in the outdoors I really felt like I could picture the scene. I also liked the way the storyline would jump back as a reflection of a past scenario when Crystal was telling a story to someone. It made the story a bit more interesting rather than one long week. I look forward to finding more in this series
