The stand of pines outside his house suddenly glows with eerie amber light, and Fernandez senses a watcher in the winter woods. As the seasons change, the very creatures of the forest seem in league with a mysterious presence.

In that isolated place they discover their destiny in a terrifying and fiercely suspenseful encounter with a hostile, utterly ruthless, and enigmatic enemy, from which neither the living nor the dead are safe.BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Dean Koontz's The City.

"<a href="http://laughinglistener.com/"><br/>The Laughing Listener</a><br/><b>March 2018</b><br/><b>Format:</b> Audiobook<br/><b>Narrator:</b> Nicole Poole<br/><b>Length:</b> 3 hours & 35 minutes<br/><br/><b>Story Rating:</b> 2 Stars<br/><b>Performance Rating:</b> 4 Stars<br/><b>Overall Rating:</b> 3 Stars<br/><br/>Here it is, the grand finale and my finale foray into the Seven series. Part of me is sad and to see it go and the other part is relieved that I can <i>finally</i> stop obsessing about these books and move on with my life. Like every other novel in this series, it was super cute, but lacking anything of real substance. Now that I think about it, this novella is pretty much about nothing. A snow storm hits Austin (yeah right. I live in Georgia and the most we ever get is a few inches) that cuts off the power and the Weston pack has to work together to save Christmas. Nothing much happens though. It’s basically a book about them running around collecting batteries and starting fires to keep warm.<br/><br/><img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/xrbdBK5A5cIYo/giphy.gif" width="" height="" alt="Daria Shrug"><br/><br/>I’m also more than a little salty that a romance was set up between Melody and Lakota that didn’t go anywhere. There was some romantic tension that I was excited to see, but the book ends before anything happens. What the hell?! You can’t just do that and end the series on me! Is there another book planned that I don’t know about?? Now I want another book about Melody and Lakota! UGH.<br/><br/>I will say that I was excited this had alternating perspectives. That’s what I was hoping for in <i>[b:One Second|29774861|One Second (Seven, #7)|Dannika Dark|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1459786867s/29774861.jpg|26490336]</i> and it was nice to have my prayers answered. Hearing from all the different couples was great fun and getting a peek at Melody’s perspective was awesome too. It was a nice little farewell to the wolf pack I love so much.<br/><br/><b>FINAL WORD</b><br/>Meh. If you’ve read the rest of the series, I highly recommend this book just to get some closure. It’s a super quick and fun read. If you skip it though, you’re definitely not missing much.<br/><br/>#1 ↦ <i>[b:Seven Years|18659745|Seven Years (Seven, #1)|Dannika Dark|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1381430884s/18659745.jpg|24996744]</i> ↦ ✦✦✦✧✧<br/>#2 ↦ <i>[b:Six Months|21548791|Six Months (Seven, #2)|Dannika Dark|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1395738349s/21548791.jpg|26490322]</i> ↦ ✦✦✦✦✧<br/>#3 ↦ <i>[b:Five Weeks|22837546|Five Weeks (Seven, #3)|Dannika Dark|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1406960686s/22837546.jpg|26490324]</i> ↦ ✦✦✦✧✧<br/>#4 ↦ <i>[b:Four Days|23869022|Four Days (Seven, #4)|Dannika Dark|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1421490830s/23869022.jpg|26490335]</i> ↦ ✦✦✦✦✧<br/>#5 ↦ <i>[b:Three Hours|25296655|Three Hours (Seven, #5)|Dannika Dark|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1432398272s/25296655.jpg|26490339]</i> ↦ ✦✦✦✦✧<br/>#6 ↦ <i>[b:Two Minutes|26118073|Two Minutes (Seven, #6)|Dannika Dark|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1440554447s/26118073.jpg|26490337]</i> ↦ ✦✦✦✧✧<br/>#7 ↦ <i>[b:One Second|29774861|One Second (Seven, #7)|Dannika Dark|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1459786867s/29774861.jpg|26490336]</i> ↦ ✦✦✧✧✧<br/>#7.5 ↦ <i>[b:Winter Moon|33143851|Winter Moon (Seven, #7.5)|Dannika Dark|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1480359548s/33143851.jpg|51298123]</i> ↦ ✦✦✧✧✧"
