The Ice Coven is the second book in the Jessica Niemi series by Max Seeck. The tale takes off from shortly after the events of the previous book, and while I would recommend reading in order - simply to make it easier to follow - this is not necessary as the author does provide background to the current events.
The Ice Coven is set in the highly atmospheric, dark, icy winter of Helsinki, and our team are recovering from the Witch Hunter case. There is a new superior officer and she wants to fire Jessica and rebuild the team. Finding herself sidelined and loosing friends, Jessica is forced to confront further details of her past and this is where the supernatural elements come into play. This time around, the case involves the disappearance of two instagram influencers and ventures into the world of social media and manga.
I loved the first book and was excited to have the opportunity to read the followup, but this time around the story did not hold my attention as easily. For me, the focus on the supernatural, tied into the atmosphere created by the author far better than the investigation into the world of social media. Having said that, the book is a good thriller and I've come to care about the developments in their lives so I'll follow up with the next book and hope for a return to his excellent form.

Another great book by Max seeck, an author i had not heard of until i read The Witch Hunter and frankly i am sad i hadnt found him before. Full of suspense and tension with a dark and gothic feel, I loved it.
