Book Review — THE URSULINA by Brian Freeman
In this gripping prequel to his Edgar Award finalist and New York Times bestseller The Deep, Deep Snow, Brian Freeman takes us on Rebecca’s dark journey to reveal the truth about the Ursulina … a journey that ultimately leads to an excruciating choice that will change her life forever.
The mythical beast goes by many names. Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Yeti.
In Black Wolf County, he’s called … the Ursulina.
But to Deputy Rebecca Colder, the beast is no myth. A serial killer has taken on the identity of the monster — and with each body left behind, there’s a chilling message written in blood: I am the Ursulina.

My ThoughtsDon’t waste your time here with me. Go read this book IMMEDIATELY!
Still here? Well, fine, then. I’ll tell you some stuff.
Writing: Freaking perfection. Truly. No wasted words. Just enough detail. Plunked me in the story and left me there, where I remained until the end, the story becoming my reality.
Characters: Complex, walk-off-the-page real people. I loved many. I hated a couple. They stirred all my emotions in a huge boiling cauldron.
Plot: Evenly paced, dark, gritty, surprising, twisty, tug-at-your-heartstrings suspense full of layers that flowed perfectly together while tying me in knots.
Convinced? I hope you’ve already clicked the Buy button somewhere.
The Ursulina is listed as the second Shelby Lake novel, but technically it’s the prequel to The Deep, Deep Snow, which I haven’t yet read. In fact, I’d planned to borrow the ebook from Scribd, but no, I NEED these books on my shelves, where I can admire them. So I took my own advice and pressed the BUY button.
*Enormous thank you to Blackstone Publishing for the free copy, and to Brian Freeman for sharing his gift of storytelling.*
