A really gripping thriller.
Nikki Hunt an acclaimed FBI agent is heading back into her worst nightmare. Two girls have been found frozen in the town of Stillwater, Nikki has to go back to her home town and face her nightmares.
A vey interesting and hard to put down book.
I loved it, and nearly died as we got closer to the suspect, a very likely suspect that you totally don’t think about. Fast paced and thrilling.
Excellent.

WOW! I was very impressed with the writing in this book from the very first pages this author makes sure to grab your attention!! Nikki Hunt is back in Stillwater to see if a serial killer is in her hometown but when she is back in her hometown she has to face her past. Nikki's parents were murdered by Mark Todd or was it him? There are two stories going on in this book and they actually end up intermingling . Which of course you don't know till half way into this book .I just loved how this author tells both story lines and flips between the two seamlessly. This book kept me reading into the night ! Perfect mystery,a bit of suspense and a great female lead character. I look forward to reading the next in the series. Highly recommend reading this book. It is the start to a great series.

In the remote forests of Stillwater, Minnesota, the bodies of two fifteen-year-old girls, Madison and Kaylee, are discovered frozen in the snow.

Special Agent Nikki Hunt is invited back to her hometown to investigate and she is sure the killer is local: someone knew where to hide them and thought they'd never be found.

Home for the first time in twenty years, she also is faced with the demons of her disturbed past. She was just sixteen when her parents were murdered. She identified and helped convict their killer, Mark Todd.

But with new evidence that could clear Mark’s name for the murder of her parents. Nikki is in a dilemma. Are Madison and Kaylee’s deaths connected to her parents’ murders? And can she face up to her past before another life is taken?

I was attracted to this book because of it’s cover and once I read the premise, I just couldn’t wait to get started.

This book is written so well and it full of suspense and twists. Both the plot lines in the book go at such an amazing fast pace that you just don’t want to put the book down until you know how the end plays out.

Being the first book in a new series, it is a great start. The main character Nikki Hunt along with her team is also pretty good. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Overall, an amazing book it keeps you hooked on right till the end!

Thank You to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

This was a very interesting thriller where you didn’t know the antagonist until the very end which makes for a good thriller. The protagonist Nikki returns to her hometown where her parents were brutally murdered. She has become a celebrated FBI profiler and takes on the case of two teenage girls who a were killed and left frozen in a field. She was called in because she had been investigating the murders of women who were frozen. She realizes right away that this isn’t the same serial killer but decides to stay anyway and help with the investigation. There are many dark twists and turns throughout the novel with several suspects. She must face her past which keeps getting in the way. There were two storylines throughout this novel which blended seamlessly. This book had everything a good crime mystery should have. It kept me interested from beginning to end and crime mysteries are not my genre. I read the book in one sitting. This is going to be a series and I look forward to reading more of Nikki’s investigations.

What an exciting whodunit this book is! FBI Special Agent Nicole "Nikki" Hunt returns to her hometown of Stillwater, MN to work on a murder case involving two teen-age girls left in the snow. When Nikki was 16, she returned from a party and found her parents murdered and a school friend, Mark Todd, in her house. Mark Todd was subsequently arrested, tried and sent to prison for the murder of Nikki's parents. When Nikki returns to Stillwater, she encounters protesters who are working with the Innocence Project to get Mark Todd released from prison. As Nikki works on the case of the two murdered girls, she starts having flashbacks of her parents' murder and begins to question whether the right person was sent to prison twenty years ago. This book is a real page-turner that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I thought I had it figured out numerous times, but each time I was mistaken.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC of this very suspenseful and riveting book in exchange for an honest review.

The Girls in the Snow by Stacy Green is an excellent start to a new series. Nikki Hunt is a strong protagonist who is still being haunted by her past, but has the resilience to be able to grow through the events of this book. Green is able to combine a tragic event that happened twenty years ago to the current events in a seamless manner. With the story going back and forth between the two times lines I was never lost or confused.

Green also did a great job developing her characters. She gives us people to hate and really root for, and to me this always makes for an enjoyable read. There are also lots of red herrings and some twists. Even though I had an inkling of what was happening early on I still found myself rapidly turning the page to see what was going to happen next.

There was a bit at the end that I was a smidge frustrated with, mainly in the romance department. And with many thrillers a lot happens in the last few chapters, but I wish it would have been drawn out a bit more. But this won’t deter me from reading the next book in the series and checking out some of Green’s other books.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I LOVED this book! I am typically more of a thriller person than a detective novel, but I enjoyed every minute of this book. Nikki Hunt came home from a party one night as a teenager to find her parents murdered in their home. She also found the murderer still in the house, and years later he is still in jail for his crimes. But now Nikki, an FBI criminal profiler, is called back to her hometown when two young teenagers are found dead and frozen in a field. While she works to solve that crime, she is distracted by the efforts of the Innocence Project, who are trying to release her parents' killer from jail, claiming he was wrongfully convicted.

I thought the two storylines in this book were so well crafted. Everything in the novel felt plausible, but it had enough twists and intrigue to keep me reading. I loved Nikki as a lead character. I can't wait to read the next in the series (and that is saying a lot, because I am not always a series reader!).

The storytelling is great, and it's an easy and entertaining book to read. The plot, however, isn't very credible.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

4+ stars

The Girls in the Snow is the first book in a new series following FBI agent Nikki Hunt. Two girls are found dead in Nikki’s hometown. Nikki has not been home in 20 years, avoiding the place her parents were brutally murdered when she was in high school. Nikki comes back to solve the case of the two girls while dealing with protestors trying to free the man convicted of her parents murder. Lots going on in the story but it works.

Excellent new series and I look forward to reading more about Nikki Hunt.

Nikki is an FBI profiler, a field she went into after witnessing the brutal murder of her parents. When a murder of two young girl from her hometown occurs, she returns to town, after all her parents killer is in prison, so she’s safe ... right ?
This book is a twisty tale of past and present and it will keep you turning page after page !
This is the first book in a series and I can’t wait for more... additionally it’s also first book that I have read by this author and it most definitely won’t be the last. A must read !

This is a great start to a new series and I will willingly read book two.
Madison and Kaylee are killed on a walk to their friends. FBI agent Nikki Hunt is called in to help with the investigation but this means she has to return to her hometown where her parents were murdered. Once she starts investigating memories from the past start to intrude.
I liked the character of Nikki and the strength of her character. It was a good read and I liked how the story and characters developed throughout.

This new series by Stacy Green begins with a heart-pounding search for killers of the past and present. FBI Special Agent Nikki Hunt is in her hometown to find the murderer who left two young girls, best friends from different backgrounds, out in the snow. The timing could not be worse for Nikki. The man convicted of murdering her parents, based primarily on a young Nikki's testimony, has a new hearing to consider new information in the case (including DNA evidence that was never tested). Nikki has spotty memories of that night and has trusted the information provided by her then boyfriend, who is now the father of one of the murdered girls. Juggling 3 current murders and the new information from her parents' murder, Nikki is trying to get to the truth. It is a wonderful plot, full of twists and turns, and it has a surprise ending. I can't wait for the next adventure for Nikki.

This was a good suspenseful mystery story. I enjoyed how the events intertwined to create a link to the main character's past. Nikki Hunt is a likeable and complex protagonist, which adds to the depth of the story as a whole. I will be recommending this book.

Nikki Hunt is my new favorite lead character! Wow!! Stacy Green's The Girls in the Snow opens with such force...and it keeps going until the very end. A talented and brave FBI agent, Nikki is called home to solve the case of two missing girls. Meanwhile, she is living in the shadow of her parents' murder and the appeal of the convicted murderer, Mark Todd, who she helped the sheriff put away when she was 16. And complicating factors is Mark's brother who strongly believes Nikki doesn't know the entire story of what happened the night her parents were murdered and want her to give the night another look. This is a fabulous book -- Nikki Hunt is an amazingly complex, relatable... and even lovable character. I cannot wait to see where. Ms. Green takes her next and this is a top 10 for me!

FBI agent Nikki Hunt is in Stillwater, Minnesota following the discovery of the bodies of two 15 year old girls who had been missing for some time. After viewing the deposition site Nikki is sure that someone local must have killed Kaylee Thomas and Madison Banks. Nikki grew up in Stillwater and when she was 16 she returned home from a party to discover her parents murdered and the killer, Mark Todd, still in the house. Mark was convicted but now there appears to be new evidence and a call for the case to be reopened. Nikki is shocked to be confronted by protesters outside the Sheriff’s office. Madison Banks is the step daughter of John Banks who Nikki was dating at the time of her parents’ murder. At every point in the case Nikki is reminded of that time and starts reevaluating what she remembers while trying not to get distracted from the reason why she is in Stillwater in the first place - to investigate two murders.

An enjoyable read. Plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader engaged.

Thanks to Netgalley, Bookouture and Stacy Green for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

This is a decent thriller with a strong lead character in Nikki, an FBI agent with her own history of violence.
Nikki is called to return to her hometown when 2 young girls are found and it brings back memories of her past, as she confronts people she’s known at high school and as the storyline progresses, Nikki finds herself facing personal demons and the murders in her own family history.

It’s a solid 3* Good Read.

Thanks to Bookoutre and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview.

This was the first book I read by Stacy Green, and now I'm a fan!

From the start, the story grips you with the the discovery of two girls found frozen side by side in the snow. The fact that the FBI agent who is called in to investigate has ties to the community adds a complication, as lines are blurred between this new case, and the murder of her parents 20 years earlier.

More and more people come under suspicion as Agent Nikki Hunt pursues her leads. Her profiling skills have earned her a reputation as a "superstar", and one by one she finds flaws in each person's story. Her reasoning had me ping ponging between suspects and I never did guess the final outcome - a sign of a good book in my opinion!

When FBI Agent Nikki Hunt is called to Stillwater to investigate the murder of two teenage girls it brings back the memories of her previous life there and the reasons why she left, the murder of her parents in the home they shared. Nikki has now been married , divorced and has a young daughter by her ex husband Tyler. She has put what happened to her parents behind her when their murderer was imprisoned but now the past and the present merge for a confusing and dangerous case,
This book is a page turner with characters from the past becoming involved and the girls murderer not being clear until the end. A very enjoyable read and hopefully the first in a series

Excellent novel. Really enjoyed it. Well drawn characters and plot. Narrative rolled along at an excellent rate. A real page turner. Hope the author writes more for Nikki Hunt
