A Snow Covered Nightmare by Debbie Zello
Four Stars
Briah’s life is in for some serious change. Every moment is filled with the thought of dying. After witnessing her boss being killed Briah just can’t deal. She gets more than she bargained for when she starts to have feelings for Aiden. I liked how their relationship wasn’t rushed. I liked that it wasn’t instant lust. They liked each other than fell into a friendship and that just kept developing into more. The story wasn’t about sex and it made it more interesting. The author had to focus more on character development and growth. I believe the author did pretty well. The characters were well rounded. Briah was a strong woman but showed emotion rather well. Aiden was really sensitive and I appreciated that. It sucked that he suffered so much to protect her. Overall good read.

A Snow Covered Nightmare is the second book t in the Refuge Series and the third book that I have read by Ms. Zello. I loved that this wasn’t just another love story has mystery, suspense it was full of passion. This book is started right from the very beginning. It didn’t start off slow, everything happened right from the very get go and it was awesome. The characters are well developed and It’s a good all-round story, with different sides of the story revealed that will suck you in from the first page until the last and you won’t be able to put it down.

A Snow Covered Nightmare: Refuge Series Book Two by Debbie Zello is a great and well written story. It blew me away and kept me turning page after page and intrigued every step of the way. I loved the main characters and they often had me laughing so hard, tears were flowing. The story starts of with a bam and continues all the way pulling you in more and more word after word. Falling in love with the characters was as easy as the flow of the tale. This story has mystery and suspense, romance and murder, heartbreak and love. It is a bit of an emotional ride when doing the right thing is so wrong and painful. Debbie has written a wonderful story with believable characters that will captivate you.
This is definitely one story that you don’t want to miss out on.

5 stars!!!!!
If you want drama and romance this book is definitely the one for you. I was glued to the pages from page one to find out what was gonna happen next. The author has done such a wonderful job of setting the story up and writing the characters to be realistic and relateable. I really couldn’t put this book down.
The chemistry between Briah and Aiden is just explosive. I could feel the heartbreak Briah felt and then the absolute rapture when it all came to fruition. I was definitely routing for Aiden and then when the drama came to play in their lives I definitely felt his conflict and the effects of his decision. I was very glad that this story came to a happy conclusion. I really would like to read more from this author in future.
A Snow Covered Nightmare is the second book in Debbie Zello Refuge series. This can be a stand alone book but, I highly suggest reading the first book as well. Zello is a romance author who likes to write a little mystery as well. Within this book there are tender moments, happy moments, and some twists and turns. The story has different tempos as to how active the story line reads. About one third of the way in the story lines slows down and I found it a bit difficult reading. On the other hand, there was parts of the book it was hopping. Zellow does a wonderful job creating the characters in turns make the reader relate to her characters. The story is about Briah who has witnessed a murder. She is valuable as there is a price for her head. Detective Aiden is on the case. That is when the fireworks start happening, Will Briah future be bright or dark?
This is the second book of the series, but can be read as a stand alone. Another exciting suspenseful romance! Fast paced and engaging from the start! Loved Briah’s character, she was such a strong heroine. Great chemistry throughout the story!
Such a great read! I absolutely fell in love with this book. This is the second instalment in the Refuge series book and even though I hadn’t read the first book, I still quickly and easily understood the story and the characters. However, to gain more familiarity with the characters and their background, I would recommend reading the first book before this one. I loved Briah as a character; her whole life is turned upside down and she is stripped away of everything she knows but she keeps going despite her struggle and being all alone in an entirely new place. I also loved the use of description throughout the book! It was so complex and detailed throughout – especially in the depth of the characters – and it really added to the story! Overall, this is a fantastic read if you’re looking for a very intriguing story.
A snow covered Nightmare by Debbie Zello is the second book in the Refuge series and is the story around a person who is the wrong place at the wrong time.
Briah is a women who has been put into a bad situation just by witnessing something she should not have seen. It is up to Aden to protect her from one of the biggest mob bosses in Denver, so while she is in Witness Protection he decides to take away into the mountains to hide her and to keep her mind off things.
The story is full of action and the relationship between the two characters is a great slow burn, how they have saved each other with him being her protector and Briah is a distraction to his life is brilliant.
This is not the first book I have read by this author and Debbie always delivers a great story, in depth characters and a story which you feel you are a part in. I can’t wait to read more books by this wonderful author.
A Snow Covered Nightmare by Debbie Zello
Stars: 4
This was definitely great story to read! This story was about finding love, losing love, and second chances. Debbie Zello does a great job at getting the reader invested in her characters that you cheer for them throughout the book. Briah is sassy and sweet mixed with courageous and a tenacious personality. Aiden is quieter, but not any less determined and courageous. I loved reading the development of their relationship. They had highs and lows, but love was always there.
This is the second story in the refuge series, but it is a standalone. Although this story is the first that I have read of Debbie Zello’s Refuge Series, I can say it definitely won’t be my last!
A Snow Covered Nightmare by Debbie Zello is the second book in the refuge series. I really enjoyed the first book and this was just as good, if not better. I really enjoyed getting to know these characters and their lives. This was definitely a book hangover for me as I still want more of their story. This is a new author for me and another book of no disappointment. I will definitely continue to read this author. I give this book a solid 5 stars.
A Snow Covered Nightmare is the second installment in the Refuge Series from Debbie Zello. I have enjoyed most of her novels to date, so didn’t question to jump into this one. This was a solid four star book, not my absolute favorite of hers but still very good. That would be the only reason that I am marking it under the five stars. It just lost my interest a few times here and there. I am glad that I did push through and finish it though. This book can be read as a standalone, and enjoyed. I would recommend that you go back and read book one, See You in September, that was my favorite of this series so far, and I believe you will enjoy that as well.
In this novel get the story of Briah Spencer. After witnessing her boss’s murder she is now considered to be in harm’s way. This causes her to be put into the witness protection program. During the course of the investigation she meets and gets to know the homicide detective, Aiden Baldwin.
There are a lot of elements at play in this story. You have the love and romance side, blooming between Aiden and Briah. Will they be able to find love together and survive the stress that this will put on them as individuals, and a couple? You have the suspense and mystery aspect with the murder and the people who play a big part in that. Will Briah be able to stay alive long enough to testify and put the killer in jail?
I am looking forward to reading what will come next in this series!

She meets with a detective, Aiden due to the murder and being a witness. Aiden feels for her in more ways then one. What will happen between the two? Will they be able to solve the murder?

A Snow Covered Nightmare: Refuge Series Book Two
By Debbie Zello
Another great read by Debbie. A Snow Covered Nightmare is book two in the Refuge series and is well worth the read. Since this is a series I would say start at the beginning but its an easy read as a standalone, so I guess you have choices. This book is action packed and has enough twists and turn that make you want to read quicker just to get to the next page. Not only does this book have great main characters, it also contains great secondary characters as well. Debbie is one of them authors that have the ability to have you making a connection with the characters. It is a multi POV story but there is nothing I can say was bad about the book. Now all you need is to go get it and have a enjoyable read.
A Snow Covered Nightmare was suspenseful, full of action, with an interesting storyline. Briah has seriously bad luck when it comes to men. Not always romantically, but it’s not the first time she’s dealt with a bad man or starting over. Aiden is a good guy who loves hard. He’s trying to do the right thing, which is a bit fuzzy. While the ending was a little choppier and shorter than I’d hoped for, I found this book to be enjoyable and a good story with interesting characters.
A Snow covered Nightmare by Debbie Zello a five-star read that certainly isn’t a nightmare read. This is the second book in the Refuge series, this is a series but they can be read as a stand-alone I have read both books and plan to read the rest as Debbie Zello is a great writer that will captivate you. This story is fast-paced and full of action it will keep you hooked all through the story. Aiden and Briah have such a powerful story to tell, it builds and builds a great tension and the storytelling is next to none, you will watch as they grow to love each other and face so much together. If you don’t read any of the other books in the series try this one, it will stay with you long after you have finished the story.
I recently had the ability to read A Snow Covered Nightmare by Debbie Zello, and let’s just say that I was shocked and impressed. Shocked because I wasn’t expecting what I actually read, and impressed because the author did a great job in writing this book.
We get to meet Briah Spencer, a woman who is severely frightened for her life. Literally – seeing as she witnessed the murder of her boss. Being the key witness to a crime lord committing a crime puts a mark on her back. Which leads her to witness protection.
I actually enjoyed the storyline and the way in which it develops. I like that we get a sense of mystery as well as a thrill. The author did a great job at keeping her readers on the edge of their seats. I was always wondering how it would develop and what would become of the characters. I loved the romance aspect of the story and what Briah and Aiden had, what they had to go through in order to get where they needed to be. This was definitely a 4 Star Book for me!
A Snow Covered Nightmare: Refuge Series Book Two by Debbie Zello was just as good as one could expect. Though the story is part of a series, one does not have to read in any particular order (but book one is great too so you should read it!) I was not expecting that kind of beginning but let me tell ya, it just jumps right in. Briah has found herself in a difficult situation after witnessing a murder. She does keep her humor about her through throughout the story as well. Aiden is the detective on the case and her protector until the trial. Unfortunately, their feelings get the better of them and soon they find themselves without one another. Will they be able to survive this? Oh I was right there with Aiden as his world was falling apart, felt all his pain. It was so heart breaking. And even though Briah had a whole new life because of threats, she stayed so strong. The story was romantic and had just the right amount of suspense to keep me flying through the pages trying to find out what happened next. It was a great ending! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series as it’s bound to be just as enticing!
A Snow Covered Nightmare is the 2nd book on the Refuge Series by Debbie Zello. I loved the 1st book See You In September and couldn’t wait to devour this one. I was not disappointed in the slightest. I LOVED A Snow Covered Nightmare. The books in the series are standalones but if these first 2 books are anything to go by, then I suggest you read them all.
The action starts from the very 1st page and keeps on coming. Briah Spencer is hiding in the cupboard as her boss is shot. It turns out that the murderer is none other than the top guy in the mob. Aiden Baldwin is the cop assigned to keep her alive so that she can testify. Needless to say sparks fly instantly between Briah and Aiden and they embark on a relationship, only for that relationship to be put to the test when Briah is attacked during the trial, resulting in her having to leave Aiden behind and go into witness protection.
Can Briah start a new life for herself, with a new identity, in a ski resort in Vermont? It really is her dream job and she loves it there but her heart is pining for Aiden but he can never know her new name and where she is, so how can they possibly have a happily ever after? You have to read this fantastic story to see how it all pans out. This is a beautiful story. It is both heart-warming and heart-breaking. I have to admit to a few sniffles at one point. The 3rd book in this series, Found In Understanding, is sitting on my kindle, waiting for me. I can’t wait to see what delights Debbie Zello has for me next.
