Book 3 of the Whiteout Series. This edition continues the journey of the survivors from the first book. In this edition, they continue to move to find safety, warmth and food which is hard in a time of never ending blizzard in the middle of the summer. They take refuge in a hotel, and end up being saved by a local man who is still alive and managed to survive the creatures in the darkness. But is this man all he seems?
Another fast paced quick read, perfect for me right now as I am super busy wit ...more

This story is one of those that grips you by the imagination and keeps you guessing. I would love to know the secrets behind the origins of the snow and dark spirits, but, I will have to keep wondering.

Good third entry in the series
I expected the story to slow down a bit with this being the third book but did not. There's plenty of action and surprises. The short length helps as well. ...more

This was a dark, twisty and addictive read, that I found I did not want to put down! Maxwell keeps this third story in the Whiteout series fresh and original with complex and interesting characters that are realistic and identifiable. The suspense builds at just the right pace, keeping your goosebumps popping and your heart rate galloping.
If you like dark, twisted suspense and good, old-fashioned horror as much as I do, then this is the series for you!

Incredible story and once again, I am left with a cliffhanger! Ugh, I was so desperate to keep reading until my kindle told me I was done and I yelled: "Noooooo!" I truly hope another one will come soon to know what happens next. The story was very intense, especially with a character that really made me angry, and then sadness overruled it. I didn't expect that to happen and I was really hoping it wouldn't, but it did. I can't spoil it for those who haven't read it. My goodness, that was a sad

Awesome series
Maxwell is giving Koontz and King a run for the money with this creepfest. Ghoulies and ghosties and long leggity beasties are chasing a group of young adults through the snows of the apocalypse. Each book is pretty short, but packed with action and horror. Got to the end of this one and, gah! Another cliffhanger. Already preordered book 4, hate having to wait until July.

Different apocalypse...
I have enjoyed this series...no zombies, just smoky eerie shadows. Dangerous shadows...unknown where they come from. They will prey on your most horrible fears...
The storyline is good & the characters are nicely imaginable ...
Have already pre ordered the next book...waiting to see what happens next...😄

I love reading books set in winter during winter, so I was stoked when I found Flint Maxwell's The Snow on Hoopla. I downloaded all three books that were available to me thinking it was the entire series. I was wrong.
I've now listened to the first 3 novellas of Flint Maxwell's Whiteout series: The Snow, The Dark Winter, and The Numbing. There are 2 more novellas in the series, and I have no way to read them without purchasing them. Even though these books were fine, I found them to also be a bit ...more

Three books into the Whiteout series, and things were bound to start getting a bit "normalized". The characters are accustomed to the new winter apocalypse, and appear to just getting on with it. How do you fix that? You up the ante, The Numbing is the most visceral and miserable outing so far. In tone, I keep wanting to compare it to the Mountain Man series, and its pretty brutal this outing.
The best so far, and Maxwell has done well not to just keep repeating the same beats over and over. Due ...more

3 1/2 stars. There was more action in the third book and some real tension is developed(view spoiler). The book, of course, ended in a cliffhanger and again was only ~200 pages. The writing was good, the characters compelling, and I did enjoy the book.
But I am not going to continue reading the series. Mr. Maxwell chose to spoonfeed the book 200 pages at a time, in 5 books, all the while charging for each book ...more

This series is crazy! WOW! Bob.... what a lesson in trust. Grady should have trusted his gut! Now there's Mia with the baby to consider, Mikey and his crush on Mia, Ellenore, Stone, the dog. All of it is sad/scary/unreal. I can't imagine how I would act in this situation, with the snowstorm, a pregnant woman, injured guy, and crazy Bob in "the perfect house." Grady's devastation is palpable. The way Ellenore wanted to take the pain for Mikey, and Mikey's anguish! What a sicko Bob is. I need reso

The darkness holds new horrors
Just when you thought the very deepest depths of hell had been reached, & it couldn't get much worse, this barren & desolate world smacks you in face. In a whisper it says, "oh no my child it is going to get much worse. So much deliciousness your despair & fear are. Just wait the true fun is only now beginning. ...more

Quick and fun read. The first two books are better imo, but this one isn’t bad. Excited for the next book, but I hope the author starts a tad bit farther from where we left off in the third book. I don’t really want to read a bunch of depressing stuff after the events of the third book.
What a thriller
I really enjoyed the new characters In this book and what they brought to the story. I do not want to wait before reading the next book In the series. Good job on this book Mr. Maxwell!

Flint Maxwell has done a great job keeping the story going with new exciting things happening without jumping the shark and going to big or breaking the rules that he has set up

Every book gets better than the last
The unfolding of the story is like watching a bad car wreck- you want to look away but you can't. I can only imagine what The City of Lights has in-store for the group, I can hardly wait for the ride! ...more

In this 3:rd book, the story takes a twist when they meet a man who is alive (Or not?) and who has in some mysterious way become friends with the Wraiths. I will say no more, in case you haven`t read the book. Read it!

This book was quite a bit darker, grittier, and more intense.
In this book, we are finally getting to the emotional toll on humans, the dystopian element. Things are getting more difficult and people are changing both physically and mentally. Which is the greater threat, what lies in the darkness or people?

This series keeps moving and I continue to be surprised by the monsters in Flint Maxwell's mind! I could not put it down, read it all in one night. I can't wait for the next installment!

Good series. Interesting. Good for summer reading.
Another solid entertaining read in this series ..it’s a harsh harsh world created .
Once you start reading you will not want to stop. Finished in one sitting. Every one of his books pulls me in.
This one really moved along and kept my interest. I’m looking forward to the 4th book.
Wow
