Winter Volume 1 Keven Newsome 9780987653109 Books

If you have read Frank Peretti’s This Present Darkness and enjoyed it, or Lis Wiehl’s Waking Hours, then you ought to read Winter by Keven Newsome.

Winter is off to her first year of college which can be a challenging transition. However, for Winter it is more difficult since her mother has died and she is fairly new to being a Christian. One would think being a new Christian at a Christian college would be encouraging, yet Winter does not look like a traditional Christian. She looks more Goth with multiple piercings and mostly black wardrobe. Add to that some weird dreams and visions and she feels like an outcast more than ever.

While Winter think she is dying of a brain tumor like her mother did, she becomes friends with people who become her biggest supporters. Summer, Davis and Kaci teach her about friendship, encouragement and God while literally fighting the forces of evil and solving a murder case.

Winter by Keven Newsome is not your typical Christian fiction. It is well-written, not contrived. I have read a lot of Christian fiction and even quit reading that line of publishing for a few years due to sub-par literature. However, this book I did not want to put down AND I look forward to reading the next in this series Prophetess.

I would recommend this to young adult and older as it does discuss demons, witchcraft and there are a few rather bloody scenes. This is my unbiased review.

Winter Volume 1 Keven Newsome 9780987653109 Books Reviews

I'm not sure where to start on this. The deep, immersive story? The many issues this story raises and challenges? The actually impressive/elegant prose? Wait, that last one is somethin I've never really took notice of in a book, so that alone is a shocker for me. Aside from that, I'll say this, for a book that's less than 400 pages, it is densely packed with story and great detail, just not overbearingly. Main character(s), side characters, main plot, subplot(s), high entertainment value, this book shook me up for what it's worth, all to top it off with a slick-looking cover that conveys the creepy feeling within. And not only creeps and chills (and the chills were very spine-tingling), but plenty of appropriately down-to-Earth humor and quirkiness in the right places.
Winter's past chapters are something I've never experienced in a book- chapters that not only kept my attention for good, but didn't bog down the story, felt organic to Winter herself, and fluid to the story itself. And with her struggles on who she is (finding self-identity and struggling with who God wants her to be), she felt very realistic, another dimension to her already 3-dimensional character, along with her friendships to her roommate (Summer, quite the irony, especially in the contrast in character personalities), her RA, and her guy friend. Towards the end, even with all the supposed obvious foreshadowing, I wasn't sure how it would end. What happened was nothing for short of completely shocking with a hyper-vile villain and what he did.
In the end scene, what happens literally dropped my jaw, and no there's no way I can wait for the sequel after that last sentence. Game on.
I was hooked from the beginning and couldn't stop clicking my to make the screen turn faster.Instead of it being an awesome page turner, it's an awesome screen clicker!

Newsome painted the characters so well that I feel I know them. I'd love to meet Winter and talk to her about her gift. I'd love to hear her talk about her mother and their special relationship. I'd ask about how she's healing from her mother's death. The characterization is that well done...she seems like a real person.

The action is fast-paced and believable. It reminds me of Frank Peretti's writing in some ways with the insertion of the evil forces that daily surround us. The story line made me think about world events and if perhaps they are being orchestrated like Winter's nemesis orchestrates them in the book.

I hope Newsome has a sequel planned for Winter and Summer. I want to know how Kaci survives the ordeal in the bell tower. Do she and Winter remain friends? He left many scenarios to play out in another book, or two, or three. Who knows? It could be the next Nancy Drew-type series. Winter could have all sorts of adventures as she lives out her calling as prophetess.The book is truly a "Winter Wonderland," one in which all kinds of things can happen.

Good job!
