Audiobook performed by Dan Stevens. He was awesome. Every character was believable and I didn’t struggle with any part of it.
This reminded me of Water World in the sense that no one could be trusted. The crazy people were in charge and it was dire situations. Survival was everyone’s goal.
I thought it was well done and I loved the bonus chapters offered at the end. A great Sci-fi book. I highly recommend this and I hope there’s a book two.

My Thoughts:

The Post Apocalypse Thriller, EVER WINTER, narration by Dan Stevens, is the first book that I have read by Peter Hackshaw, and I look forward to reading more of his works.

One of my favorite books to read are survival stories, so it’s not surprising that I thoroughly enjoyed reading EVER WINTER, a tale filled with love, loss, courage, strength, revenge, and a willingness to survive against overwhelming odds, be it the elements or the worst of humanity.

As a horror fan and one of the revenge stories, I love the books mentioned within and Henry’s interpretation of each in relation to his circumstance at various points in the novel.

About:

‘Henry and his family have managed to survive on the tundra of what was once a vast ocean, far from the savage remnants of humanity. When the family is discovered, their peaceful existence is shattered, and their lives are changed forever.’

Overall – 5.0/5.0 Stars
Performance – 5.0/5.0 Stars
Story – 5.0/5.0 Stars

Audiobook Scheduled To Release – January 26, 2021 (Subject To Change)

Wow.
This is quite an impressive debut novel. Ever Winter is a sci-fi/horror survival tale set in a harsh post-apocalyptic future. There' is an abundance of action, scares, and gross-out moments to hold your attention but the underlying themes of family, tragedy, loss, friendship, and hope will keep you invested in the characters.

I loved the unique dialogue choices and the author's linguistic inventiveness reminded me of Anthony Burgess.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this audiobook. Dan Stevens' euphonious voice and skilled narration really brings the story to life.

Thanks to Podium Audio, the author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook in exchange for my honest feedback.

Unique combination of horror and sci-fi, with shades of Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, and even Charles Dickens.

Peter Hacksaw portrays a bleak future where the entire world is covered in layers of ice and snow. Cannibalism has become commonplace, and the only law is lawlessness. In the far north of this extreme environment hides a family, struggling hard to fend for themselves and stay hidden from those who would do them harm.

I don't frequently find myself wishing for any book to be a 'series', but I actually found myself wanting to know more about how the world came to be the barren wasteland that is portrayed. While the past is alluded to, I would love to have some 'fleshing out' of the calamities that brought this world about.

There is a moment in the middle of the book, and you'll know it when you get there, when the tone and trajectory of the book changes. It caught me off guard, but I have to admit that it actually works pretty well, and the resulting novel is definitely worth a read by fans of all genres.

I love just about love anything post apocalyptic. I was really excited when I saw the premise on this book.

Then I was able to get an advance copy of the audio book which made me even more excited.

I really loved this take on the way Hacksaw combined the harsh primitive post apocalyptic life and it still ran up against technology from the previous world.

It did take me a while to feel attached to any of the characters but I also think that it helped that detached feeling about the harsh world they were in.

I thought it had wonderful twists and turns and some moments that I totally was not expecting.

If you're in to audio books I loved the person who did the narrating on this one too.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC/Audio book in exchange for my honest review
