This collection surprised me in the best way. I picked it up expecting a few chilly city tales, but some of these stories stayed with me — like that kind of winter cold you can’t quite shake. There’s a nice mix of grit, heart, and eerie moments, and I loved how each tale captured a different side of what winter can feel like. It’s moody, reflective, sometimes a bit weird (in a good way). Perfect for reading with a cup of something hot and a blanket.

Thank you the publisher and netgalley for the opportunity to red this.

I DNF-ed this, because I found it difficult to jump from short story to short story, having to learn new character names and figure out what is going on in the story. The stories I read were good, I just think I’m not the “short story type”. The style does not suit me.

What a delightful take on the season. This very atmospheric title brought the best of so many authors to the forefront. My reading list just doubled. It was poignant and spooky and the perfect curl-up-and-read title.

I had high hopes for this book when I read the description and it did not disappoint! Winter in the City is a collection of chilling tales about winter in several different stories. Each story is haunting and unique in its own way and I loved the characters in each story. They were so compelling in their own way and really make you feel as if you are in the city itself. I enjoyed how the authors told their stories and am looking forward to read more by them!

Winter in the City was such a good book. I totally recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can because it's really good and the characters are fantastic.
