Welcome to Knife’s Edge, Alaska, where the four Osprey brothers return from military service with shadows in their eyes and secrets in their hearts. As danger looms, new romances ignite, and these rugged men must fight for love…and survival.
About the Book
Brock Osprey has spent years in the rugged Alaskan wilderness, far from civilization and even farther from his past. A former Navy Seal, Brock is now the unwilling protector of Knife’s Edge, a remote town with more secrets than residents. But when FBI agent Ophelia Spilazi arrives to investigate the unsolved murder of his guardian—and recent unexplained deaths in the area—Brock’s carefully guarded world is thrown into chaos.
Agent Ophelia Spilazi has one last chance to save her career, and Knife’s Edge is her shot. The isolated town is full of secrets, and she’s certain Brock knows more than he’s letting on. The town’s recent string of mysterious deaths only heightens her suspicion, but the more time she spends with the brooding Alaskan, the harder it becomes to ignore the dangerous chemistry between them.
As a brutal storm traps them in the isolated wilderness, Brock and Ophelia’s growing attraction ignites, even as shadows from their pasts threaten to tear them apart. But with a dangerous conspiracy and powerful enemies lurking in the shadows, their only hope is to trust each other—before the wilderness consumes them both.

My Review
I am a huge Rebecca Zanetti fan and every time a new book or series starts, I’m first in line to read. I kinda hung back on Dead of Winter a little bit because it sounded similar to Rebecca’s Laurel Snow series. As I started reading and getting into the mystery, I was thinking that Laurel Snow could help solve these cases. I had to separate the different stories in my head so it wouldn’t color my thoughts about the new series and my review, unfortunately it was more difficult than I thought.
While the story DID start out feeling like the Laurel Snow series, the similarities began disappearing the deeper I got into the book. This Alaska small town is isolated during the cold months and the townsfolk band together and take care of each other. I love that small town feel and that everyone is in everyone else’s business. But small towns can also hold big secrets and that’s what FBI Agent Ophelia Spilazi discovers as she tries to solve a string of mysterious deaths and the murder of one of the locals.
I sure do love a good mystery and there are plenty in Dead of Winter. Especially the mysterious Osprey brothers. I really enjoyed learning the town dynamics and meeting the unique townsfolk. Some are not what they seem and some are exactly what they appear to be. In Knife’s Edge, you’re either born there, vacationing there, or you’re hiding from something there. It’s always a thrill trying to figure out which is which!
Overall, Dead of Winter is a solid start to a promising series and I’m definitely looking forward to the next book.
