About this audiobook
Heartbreaking decisions
Evie was almost seduced by the life of comfort that Death offered her—until Jack was threatened by two of the most horrific Arcana, The Lovers. She will do anything to save him, even escape Death’s uncanny prison, full of beautiful objects, material comforts…and stolen glances from a former love.
Uncertain victory
Despite leaving a part of her heart behind with Death, Evie sets out into a frozen and perilous post-apocalyptic wasteland to meet up with her allies and launch an attack on The Lovers and the vast army they command. Such formidable enemies require a battle plan, and the only way to kill them once and for all may mean Evie, Jack, and Death allying. Evie doesn’t know what will prove more impossible: surviving slavers, plague, Bagmen and other Arcana—or convincing Jack and Death to work together.
Two heroes returned
There’s a thin line between love and hate, and Evie just doesn’t know where she stands with either Jack or Death. Will this unlikely trio be able to defeat The Lovers without killing one another first?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I got this book as a present from my friend a while ago. It took me some time to get around to it, but once I did, I enjoyed it. The book was actually a very quick read, once I could actually find time to pick it up. It's set during Season 1, so Aiden is still around, Hawkes is still the ME and Mac's wife's death is a bigger deal than it has been lately. It took a little effort to get used to sort of going back in time, but it wasn't that intrusive.The cases were pretty interesting, but just as it is with the show, I tend to pay more attention to the people than to the cases. I thought the author wrote the characters well, and none of it screamed "out of character!", which is always nice.All in all this was a good, entertaining read and I'd recommend it especially if you like the show.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Kaminsky, Stuart M. Dead of Winter (CSI: NY). NY: Pocket Books. 3.5s*I like Kaminsky’s novels very much and this one provides enough violent action along with crime scene investigation details to make it a satisfying read. Mac Taylor and his CSI colleagues work cases involving the murder of a protected witness and the murder of a bookworm tenant of an upscale apartment building. This is an enjoyable read, although to me it does not quite reach the high standards that Kaminsky achieved in his Porfiry Petrovich Rostnikov, Abe Lieberman, or Lew Fonesca series. However, it may be unfair to compare this book to the books in those series because in this one Kaminsky is somewhat restricted by the need to conform to the style and characters of the CSI NY television series. In addition, this is Kaminsky’s first installment in this series, and I would expect more depth of character development as the series continues. Unfortunately, I have not watched the TV show enough to provide much comparison to this book. I look forward to reading Kaminsky’s succeeding CSI NY books,
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Kaminsky has written many more sub-plots than the average CSI media tie in novel. This makes the story just a bit more interesting than the usual TV episode or one of the other novels.Just like the TV show this book's main plots are two cases. One is the mysterious almost locked room mystery concerning a witness. The second is the more interesting story of a catalog copy writer who is shot dead and found in an elevator. A 'famous' writer as well as another man who confesses to the crime add interesting twists to the story (though there was a twist that they didn't use that I wish they had). Still, the second story was a well crafted one.As the first CSI: NY novel, unfortunately Hawkes is still an ME (I like Hawkes better in the field and I love the newer glasses ME guy on the TV show). But other than that this is a nice book and I recommend it to any mystery lover, especially those who are Kaminsky fans.
