This book was hard to put down. I dove right into it because I thought it was serial killer type of book and I didn't know the blurb was talking about literal monster! It was intriguing and I enjoyed reading while trying to figure out what will happen next, it was full of action and unpredictable. The ending was something I didn't expect. This was both fantasy and horror, something I rarely read but I had fun reading this story.

I didn't mean to read this in one sitting, but I couldn't put the damn thing down!
"The assumption that the act of giving birth magically made shitty human beings loving and worthy of respect."
This is such a fun fast-paced read. I loved Iddy and his two homeless mates Bot and Gary.
Ben I had mix emotions with him through out this.
Nathan I adored his grumpyness.
There were some hard topics to read, however there was a lot of light and funny moments.

Iddy is a gay 20 year old homeless man. The city is covered in snow and rumours are that a monster is hunting the streets at night. Can Iddy and his homeless friends stay safe from the cold, the snow and the monster?
I really enjoyed reading Cold Snap. It allowed me to enter a very different world to the one I live in. A world of homelessness and homosexuality. Cold Snap has gritty urban issues, gay sex and horror from the monster seeking it’s prey. I think this story would make a great film.

A Joyfully Jay review.

Cold Snap is a dark urban fantasy/horror story from Sam Clover. I completely forgot everything about the blurb when I started reading and, in hindsight, the official blurb doesn’t give much away. Meaning that I walked into this story pretty blind with zero expectations. Frankly, despite having Iddy star in the first chapter, when it ended with Iddy being attacked and a “fade to black” type of wrap up, I half thought he was just fodder to set the scene.

Cold Snap is a book you can’t put down even if you want to. Holy sugar Sam Clover writes a good book.
Idal aka Iddy is the most laid back twenty-year-old I have ever read especially due to his situation. I was shocked when Clover revealed his age because he has definitely matured way too early in life.
We see the horror story through Iddy’s eyes and experiences. Clover details the gore, blood, and fear that Iddy sees. Very cool. The monster is pretty badass. I really hope there is a sequel becaus ...more

Fantasy/Erotica is something I don't normally read I didn't read what this book was about before I dove into it and from looking at the cover I figured it was a serial killer/murder book. I think the cover should be more "darker" to portray the plot but hey it's just my opinion. I LOVED this book and I would read a sequel, it was nothing I expected and I was hooked from go. I loveeeee writers who can really pull a reader in that's a TALENT! I've read hundreds of books and it's hard finding somet

What did I just read?
An intriguing and unique blend of horror, romance and mystery. I really enjoyed the story. It was different, unpredictable and full of action which made it hard to put down once I started.
Loved my time in this world - scary, but somehow comfortable. I think that's because the characters were so well-fleshed out, they were relatable as human beings. I cared about Iddy so much that I found myself worried about him as I went about my day. Sam Clover seems to have a deep understanding of the street life - couldn't help but wonder where that came from! Despite my love of horror and a horrible monster, I found myself actually caring about this monster! Well written, clear, and action-p

Sam Clover writes m/m smut. Usually that smut is wrapped in a speculative fiction package and teeming with violence and dark themes. But smut is so much fun to write that you will most likely see it woven throughout her narratives, regardless of the genre.
