Can Evie convince her rival loves to work together? Their survival depends on it in this third book of #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole's Arcana Chronicles, a nonstop action tale of rescue, redemption, and a revenge most wicked.
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 perilous post-apocalyptic wasteland to meet up with her allies and launch an attack on The Lovers. Such formidable enemies require a battle plan, and the only way to kill them 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 . . . ?

"I'm still all in, peekon!"
By K Lauren
I'm not going to lie...I don't recall ever waiting this breathlessly and anxiously for any book to arrive. I'm the type of person who would much rather wait for the whole series to finish before beginning it, mostly because I get really invested in the characters and in their story lines and care so much about their fates. (The ending matters, people!!!)
But this time, in preparation for the third installment, i have been re-reading Poison Princess and Endless Knight for months, looking for clues and hoping I could successful predict what would happen to my beloved characters. I would browse blogs and believe it or not, even study Tarot cards just to get a possible glimpse of the future. I also braced myself because I was 100% positive that the ending would have a cliffhanger almost as bad as the second one. And I have to say, I was not mistaken. In fact, I'm still asking myself what the heck just happened.
In Dead of Winter, we see Evie escaping Death's fortress so she could launch a campaign to save Jack from the Lovers. Apparently, only with Evie in the mix can Jack be saved from the evil twins. Death also involves himself because as we know from the previous book, he considers Evie as his to protect. So the whole book spans roughly around a week or two of their lives and is mostly dealing with the question of how to defeat the Lovers and who would Evie pick: Jack or Aric.
To be perfectly honest, I have been team Jack since the very beginning. Never did I really waver from my belief that Evie and Jack belonged together, and I felt that Ms. Cole shared this sentiment. In this book, we see Jack as we knew him from before: brave, brash, intelligent, fearless, reckless, cunning and caring...but he has become more now. He has become a leader of men, a beacon of hope in such bleak times. In a way, he has come on his own and it was inspiring but not really that surprising to see.
To me though, the biggest reveal has been how Aric is...Aric has always been this strong, fierce knight and yet, he appears so contemplative, wise and restrained...so honest and loving. He was so patient and gentle with Evie. He showed his devotion to her with every step he makes...So much so that even I who doubted his intentions, came to question my own thought process. Perhaps that's what Ms. Cole was aiming for....I'm by no means fickle but I could almost swear that Evie chose wrong..?
In a way, I want to warn readers who are not as invested as I am to wait before reading this because the cliffhanger ending is horrible and something others would not go for...at least not 2 in a row...but perhaps that is the secret to success in a series like this. I could have sworn that the unactivated card would be revealed and he would be who I thought he would be...but instead we get introduced to another Major Arcana card, one who has destroyed Evie in the past.
So what's my verdict for this one? Truly I'm giving a biased rating because I love this series so much. The whole time I was reading, my heart was pounding! I'm truly invested in Evie, Jack, Aric, Matthew, and even Finn, Selena, Lark, Gabe, Tess and Joules...Ms. Cole has made a fabulous, crazy, fantastic roller coaster of a series that, even though sets me up for a terribly long and uncertain wait for the next installment, still has me enthralled. This series is truly a thorn in my paw...but as a testament to Ms. Cole's skill and imagination, I'm still all in, peekon!

Loved it. Hated the ending
By Flying Squirrel
Loved it. Hated the ending, but what's new.
********** WARNING. SPOILER ALERT. *************
I truly didn't understand how Evie was unable to decide, and that indecision came across as formulaic in order to keep the story going. I guess I'm a traditionalist (a nod to Death, har), but deciding between Aric and Jack should have boiled down to intensity of feeling, love, connection - however Evie threw that all out the window and went with Jack simply because he was her first love and their possible future together seemed more grounded, viable, with a HEA per Jack's vision of a new Arcadiana; whereas her possible future with Aric didn't logically have the ideal HEA, no matter how much she admitted that Aric was her soul mate. If she truly loved Aric, not having the ideal HEA wouldn't matter - just BEING with him should have been her HEA.
That being said, I think it'll be interesting to see how Ms. Cole reconciles all of this. I guess Evie is still a kid and trying to emotionally grow up, despite all the hardships she'd experienced thus far. I don't think she deserves Aric and now she needs to earn Aric, if they'll ever be together, and I hope she suffers and goes through some traumatic paradigm shift to get there (Aric's threat about her winning the game was so fitting - maybe Evie can live through that existence like Thronos did with Lanthe dying in the last IAD). I'm still looking forward to the 4th installment, but I was disappointed with Evie's character at the end. I have faith in Ms. Cole and am sure all will be well in the next book.

Middling Middle Installment
By Demeter
"Dead of Winter," the third installment in Kresley Cole's Arcana series, is unfortunately a middling filler of a novel that shows promise of character and relationship complexity, but falls short of expectations. Mainly, not much occurs in the story to move the plot along and characters remain frustratingly stagnant and superficial. The dialogue, further, can be gratingly and manipulatively slow and unnatural in order to preserve important plot points for later time. For example, none of the characters appear to ask any essential questions, reveal significant information, or insist that other characters explain vital details because either they are relentlessly sleepy or some coincidence occurs where an event disrupts someone on the cusp of revealing anything. Consequently, it is easy to roll your eyes throughout the story when the reader tends to be a couple steps ahead of the protagonists.
Although the story may seem action-packed because the plot revolves around dispatching the Dutch and Duchess of Perverse, the story as a whole does not move forward. Evie barely acquires more of her powers and she does not learn much of anything new from her past games or about the origin of the games. You can sum up this book with two sentences: (1) The gang puts their differences aside to get rid of the twins. (2) Evie must choose between Jack and Death.
To further touch upon the latter sentence, it saddens me that our heroine, Evie, is relegated to a superficial love triangle and that she spends the majority of her time choosing between her two suitors rather than actively participating in or ending the game. As an aside, I do not have anything against love triangles and generally enjoy them if they are interwoven into the story well. Why else read YA unless one intends to live vicariously through the characters and be in the enviable position of having to choose amongst swoon worthy hunks? However, this triangle feels forced down our throats and making it the primary focus of this book, when hell has broken loose on Earth, makes it frustrating to read when more important things are at stake. By the end of the novel one wants Evie, when given an ultimatum by Jack and Death to choose, to be the potential kick-ass Red Witch that she can be and tell them, just like she told the other Arcana when she said she would not participate in a game where she did not make the rules, to sit their bums down and let her choose between them on her own terms.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW
And here is the fan girl in me writing: There is no silly love triangle because only one is remotely worthy. On one hand you have Death who is smart, kind, strong, has wisdom and most importantly, wants Evie to be the same and more; and on the other hand, you have Jack who is a detriment to her development. He constantly infantilizes her. At one point in the novel the trio have a skirmish and Death wants Evie to practice her powers to become stronger and independent. Jack, however, interrupts her learning experience by deeming her unworthy to fight and then has the galls to say that he had been responsible for toughening her up beforehand (he is referring to previous experiences in earlier novels in the series). I am sorry, but repeatedly insulting her for being hungry or not moving fast enough whenever he got the chance to does not count. That is called verbal abuse.
So of course it was a disappointment to me when Evie chose Jack at the end, mainly because, as she so eloquently explains to Death, she loved him first. Girls and guys, if you are reading, that is one stupid reason to stick with anyone. No one gets dibs on you because they were there first. Plus, she was upset at Death for his exceptionally reasonable contingency plan should their plot to stop the games fail (Lark remaining behind to repopulate the Earth with animals sounds like a superb idea).
However, my dissatisfaction with Evie's insignificant choice of a boyfriend does not even hold a candle to my disappointment in the one relationship I did want to see: Evie and Selena's. Here was a brilliant, blooming female friendship that, in the course of three novels, evolved past a competition for a male's attention and past their competitiveness to win an abstract game (talk about loaded societal commentary), and of course the author decides to kill Selena at the end. The one relationship that had potential to raise a run-of-the-mill YA series from mundane to sharp social critique is abruptly cut short.
And does anyone believe for a second that Jack is truly dead?
In all, there are a lot of issues with "Dead of Winter." However, there are some bright spots in the novel, such as learning who the Source Twins are and general intrigue regarding the games that still makes me want to check out the next installment in this series.
