That was, until last year, when she joined her school’s theatrical group and fell for their mysterious star, Roman Cavalero. Now, the British teen’s Type A skills are being put to the test as the Edgemoor Players venture out on an unchaperoned extra credit orienteering trip on their local moor. Faced with dangerous snowy conditions, the young actors become trapped in a creepy old abandoned church as they await rescue. While waiting, they discover the church is connected to Winter’s Harsh Huntsman—last year’s play, their sole performance and one that ended in tragedy. The book is structured in three parts: the first and third sections describe the present-day events of the moors trip, separated by a lengthy flashback detailing the previous year’s work on the play. This unfortunately makes for a frustrating read as the first part hints at mysterious events of the past without sufficient context, and the second part feels like an excessively long break from the action of the moor trip. The character and plot development lacks depth, and the central romance is rife with red flags. Hazel and Roman present white, and names cue ethnic diversity in the supporting cast.
