A Cold Night for Alligators started off a little slow for me, and I struggled to get through some of the language choices (obscure words, strange sentence structure) but I'm so glad that I did.

This was such a unique horror read - I loved the elements of epidemiology intertwined with traditional horror tropes. The urban exploring element was a nice added touch. So much happened in this book, but it didn't feel overwhelming or disjointed. All elements came together, and each plot point was well-paced throughout the book.

Once I was a few pages in, I couldn't keep myself from putting it down. Viggy Parr Hampton created characters with rich backstories, and wove them so seamlessly into the central plot. The dynamic between Dr. Clements and Dr. Lucas perfectly captured what it's like to be a woman, especially one in a male dominated field, with a superior who doesn't respect boundaries. A++

I'll be sure to pick up any future book she writes!
