Synopsis:
Having survived sinister scarecrows and the malevolent Smiling Man in Small Spaces, newly minted best friends Ollie, Coco, and Brian are ready to spend a relaxing winter break skiing together with their parents at Mount Hemlock Resort. But when a snowstorm sets in, causing the power to flicker out and the cold to creep closer and closer, the three are forced to settle for hot chocolate and board games by the fire. Ollie, Coco, and Brian are determined to make the best of it, but odd things keep happening. Coco is convinced she has seen a ghost, and Ollie is having nightmares about frostbitten girls. Then Mr. Faland, a mysterious reporter and ghost hunter, arrives in the midst of the storm. Ollie, Coco, and Brian want to trust him, but Ollie's watch, which helped save them from the Smiling Man before, has a new cautionary message: BEWARE. With Mr. Faland's help, Ollie, Coco, and Brian reach out to the dead voices at Mount Hemlock who may need their help - but not all ghosts can or should be trusted.
Review:
Ollie, Coco and Brian realise their relaxing holiday won't quite turn out as they were hoping after they get snowed into a rather creepy hotel. Each suffers a few disturbing dreams and/or visions and it becomes apparent that they will need each other to escape unscathed. They survived the scarecrows they can survive the ghosts, right?
I liked that we focused more on Coco in this book, she's a really relatable character for me and I love how logical she can be. I like how they all work together to solve the mystery and the trust they show for each other. I like the continuation from the first book and the creepy feeling continues.
Overall I really enjoyed this book, I did find a lot happened in the last few chapters and it felt a little rushed but it didn't detract from my enjoyment at all.
