Fantasy. Fiction. Science Fiction. Thriller. HTML:A captivating tale of humanity pushed beyond its breaking point, of family and bonds of love forged when everything is lost, and of a heroic young woman who crosses a frozen landscape to find her destiny, this debut novel is in a post-apocalyptic tradition that spans The Hunger Games and Station Eleven but blazes its own distinctive path.
Forget the old days. Forget summer. Forget warmth. Forget anything that doesn't help you survive in the endless white wilderness beyond the edges of a fallen world.

Lynn McBride has learned much since society collapsed in the face of nuclear war and the relentless spread of disease. As the memories of her old life continue to haunt, she's been forced to forge ahead in the snow-drifted Canadian Yukon, learning how to hunt and trap and slaughter.

But her fragile existence is about to be shattered. Shadows of the world before have found her tiny community??most prominently in the enigmatic figure of Jax, who brings with him dark secrets of the past and sets in motion a chain of events that will call Lynn to a role she never imagined.

Simultaneously a heartbreakingly sympathetic portrait of a young woman searching for the answer of who she is meant to be and a frightening vision of a merciless new world in which desperation rules, The Wolves of Winter is enveloping, propulsive, and poigna

Thriller

Considering the events of the past several years, this story hits close to home. The setting is a post-apocalyptic world after a nuclear war and a deadly virus that kills a large portion of humanity. Those that have survived struggle to live in this new world. In addition, there are those that still think they can control others. The MC is unwittingly thrown into the conflict by a chance encounter with a stranger in the backwoods.

Outstanding story telling that gives a chilling glimpse of a very possible future. Combine the great plot and a well-rounded main character and I was quickly sucked into this book. I flew through it in just a couple of days. ( )

Fast-paced dystopian story about a young woman and her extended family trying to survive in the Yukon wilderness. When a stranger shows up, their first reaction is fear and distrust. The storyline includes a group of scientists developing a vaccine to fight a spreading virus, the backstory of how the family arrived at their present circumstances, and a harrowing journey. Along the way, we learn how modern civilization had been destroyed.

The writing is atmospheric. The harsh conditions and winter climate are beautifully rendered. The plot is moved forward by mysteries and secrets, which are gradually revealed. It is well-paced. The characters are interesting. Protagonist Lynn, in particular, is striking. She acts in rebellious and impetuous ways and is a strong young female protagonist. It is a bit more action-packed than most of my reads and there are a few plot “holes” (or at least questions that arose in my mind about believability, e.g., is it really as easy as it seems here to survive alone in the snowy wilderness?). But overall, I enjoyed the journey. ( )

The Wolves of Winter by Tyrell Johnson is dystopian story of survival. The world has finally pushed itself to the breaking point with nuclear wars that were followed by an epic pandemic. The story is told by Lynn, a feisty 23 year old, who, along with her remaining family have taken refuge in the Canadian Yukon. The family started in Chicago, then moved to Alaska all the while seeming to avoid contact with any government agency. When the flu took her father’s life, her uncle moved them into the Yukon wilderness.

Now living in rustic log cabins and surviving by hunting and fishing, they avoid contact with others until one day a young man and his dog arrive. Jax seems to have many secrets and when more men arrive that are apparently hunting Jax, a life and death struggle occurs with Jax demonstrating almost unbelievable skills. Lynn is attracted to Jax, but secrets within her own family come into play as now both Jax and Lynn become hunted by this shady group who seem to have very dark motives.

I enjoyed The Wolves of Winter as the story moved quickly and the setting was very atmospheric. The author infused the book with a strong sense of family holding together against disaster and overall, this was a fresh and interesting look at an apocalyptic future. ( )

Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault

Full Review: Thank you so much to NetGalley and Schribner for allowing me to read and review this lovely literary debut by Tyrell Johnson. I really loved the author’s prose. I found this book very similar to an old Jack London novel. Very slow-paced for the first half, gorgeous descriptions of the cold and survival in an unforgiving land. There is very little action in the first part of the book. However, about halfway through, things begin to pick up and the writing takes a very cool, dystopian/sci-fi turn that had me on the edge of my seat.

Johnson’s prose is so, SO strong. Every word choice is absolutely gorgeous. You can see every sunset and taste the snow. He absolutely transports you to the Yukon and keeps you there right on the page. I connected with the loneliness of Lynn and wanted to stay with her story. Very much enjoyed this and look forward to more of the author’s work.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the author. ( )
