WARNING: This review contains spoilers.
Snow Angel is supposed to be a romantic suspense, but while it setup most of the book how careful / paranoid the FMC was, the danger did not kick in until 90% point of the book, and it was wrapped up within a couple pages.
Lily was always on the run, moving every few months, looking over her shoulder, and she had been doing this for ten years. She just got a break as choreographer for a big superstar, and moving to this small town should keep her anonymous. She didn't count on having the local chief of police as her neighbor, who wanted to know more about her. She wanted to see where it goes, but what if she had to run again?
The MMC lives next door is the police chief AND has a dog that practically adopted the FMC was just icing on the cake. On the other hand, the characters are nice, the town was friendly. However, most of the book was about how this girl was paranoid in this friendly town and only at the very end was there any suspense. The mood basically was weird, with a too-stupid-to-live moment right at the end. This sudden mood switch prevented this novel from being 4/5. It's as if the book has schizophrenia: 80-90% of the book was sweet, final bits was tense as heck.
