Winterkill

By Kate A. Boorman

Book Overview

Emmeline knows she's not supposed to explore the woods outside her settlement. The enemy that wiped out half her people lurks there, attacking at night and keeping them isolated in an unfamiliar land with merciless winters. Living with the shame of her grandmother's insubordination, Emmeline has learned to keep her head down and her quick tongue silent. When the settlement leader asks for her hand in marriage, it's an opportunity for Emmeline to wash the family slate clean--even if she has eyes for another. But before she's forced into an impossible decision, her dreams urge her into the woods, where she uncovers a path she can't help but follow. The trail leads to a secret that someone in the village will kill to protect. Her grandmother followed the same path and paid the price. If Emmeline isn't careful, she will be next.

Customer Reviews

Winterkill is a fabulous young adult novel! I read it a while back and I absolutely loved it! The plot keeps you on the edge of your seat, and there are so many twists and turns it's hard to know what to expect next! I think this book has potential to be the next Hunger Games and if you are a fan of a good mystery, I would highly recommend this novel.
