When 16-year-old Amanda Verner's family decides to move from their small mountain cabin to the vast prairie, she hopes it is her chance for a fresh start. She can leave behind the memory of the past winter; of her sickly ma giving birth to a baby sister who cries endlessly; of the terrifying visions she saw as her sanity began to slip, the victim of cabin fever; and, most of all, of the boy she has been secretly meeting with as a distraction from her pain. The boy whose baby she now carries.

When Silla and Nori arrive at their aunt's home, it's immediately clear that the "blood manor" is cursed. The creaking of the house and the stillness of the woods surrounding them would be enough of a sign, but there are secrets, too - the questions that Silla can't ignore: Who is the beautiful boy who's appeared from the woods? Who is the man her little sister sees, but no one else? And why does it seem that ever since they arrived, the trees have been creeping closer?

On a cold day deep in the heart of winter, Rowan’s father returns from an ill-fated hunting trip bearing a single, white rose. The rose is followed by the Huntress, a figure out of legend. Tall, cruel, and achingly beautiful, she brings Rowan back with her to a mountain fastness populated solely by the creatures of the hunt. Rowan, who once scorned the villagers for their superstitions, now finds herself at the heart of a curse with roots as deep as the mountains, ruled by an old magic that is as insidious as the touch of the winter rose.

Devin Eveson is a Soulkeeper, traveling through remote villages as a preacher and healer. But when a mysterious black water washes over the world, the veil is torn, flooding the land with ancient magic and forgotten races: fire that dances as if alive, corpses that walk, and creatures that can manipulate time itself. And not all the creatures that have reawakened remember humanity fondly. As the land grows more dangerous and more chaotic, Soulkeepers are turning up dead, their bodies transformed into macabre works of art.

Publisher's Summary
A dark and haunting tale of a young girl trapped in Winter, longing to be free. When Rose and her sister are left to fend for themselves and an ailing mother, they must fight both nature and the darkness of the soul to survive.
A review: "'Winter Rose by Rachel A. Marks is a hauntingly beautiful coming of age story, reminiscent of Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell. With lush prose and realistic characters, Marks crafts a tale that focuses on the difficult subjects of abandonment and poverty, and yet rises above these dark subjects through the use of magical realism and hope. The end result was a novella that I couldn't put down." (Merrie Destefano, author of Lost Girls)

Powerful short story.
*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Let me catch my breath and calm my emotions. Ooooh. Rachel catches my attention from the first sentence. In moments I'm gripped with a strong protective feel for Rose, Becca, and their mamma. The details shared tell more than saying plainly what's happening. Well written.
Starla acts on the emotions I feel instantly. She brings the details to life through voice, as though I'm seeing it through Rose's eyes. One thing I usually find difficult to determine in audiobooks, the division between sections in a chapter. It IS rather easy to get the feel of those in this story. Starla has added a space or gap between these sections that feels a breath longer than should be, which indicates a jump in time for our characters. This is something that's hard to feel, and I felt it in Starla's rise and fall as she tells each section. Also the writers words help with this flow. Well done team!
This story is of dark, terrible things. Rape and murder are present. But the story Rachel tells of Rose and her sister is breathtaking, heart-wrenching, and gripping. The days get dark but there can always be hope, even a sliver of a chance.
I felt many emotions through this book. All the terrible we see here has me flustered as I want to help these girls. Rachel takes that anger and irritation and turns it into more. A slow change happens through the book as love grows. Wow. I think back and I'm surprised I ventured through these emotions and they relate. The flow of actions by Rose and others all fit to bring Rose to grow inside.
This is such a short read/listen and I can't believe how emotional I got with it. That says a lot for Rachel and Starla. The perfect words and the exact voice for the characters. Wow. I kept tearing up at the end. It's a slow gradual change, but it's there. Such great growth at the right pacing for Rose. I'm blown away at the tremendous journey in such a short frame, yet it didn't feel as though we were making huge leaps. The growth was done with a gentle progression with the perfect moments in time.
