About this listen

The stark world continues to change. Each passing day twists it further, pushing the survivors closer to the brink of extinction. But, for the first time, there is hope.

Clare and Dorran have set their sights on returning home to Winterbourne Hall. It's a daunting journey, but vital. Humanity needs more refugee-safe areas where food can be grown without attracting the attention of the hollow ones, and the old gothic manor is their best bet.

But their home is no longer a sanctuary. It's become a trap, carefully crafted for them, lying in wait for their return. By the time they realize just how dangerous Winterbourne has become, it's already too late. The fight for survival is far from over.

Compelling characters snd storyline

2 things were farfetched, but will chalk it up to creative license, but just minor events. the story was so compelling I had to go straight through all 4 books. The performance was fantastic! I will not share any spoilers, but will just say it was a great read and will be looking forward to more from this author and narrator.

ALL OF IT! BUY THIS SERIES!!

Im so sad its over.. Darcy has outdone herself with The entire Black Winter series, delivering a chilling and immersive survival horror experience. I initially expected a ghost story, but what I got was far more terrifying—a slow-burning apocalypse with an eerie, claustrophobic atmosphere that seeps into reality.

The story unfolds with masterful pacing, each twist pulling you deeper into the characters' desperate fight against an otherworldly force. Coates' attention to detail is impeccable, making every moment feel tangible, from the biting cold to the suffocating dread that follows the characters. The way she crafts tension, balancing quiet unease with bursts of sheer terror, is simply brilliant.

What makes The Black Winter series so compelling isn’t just the horror—it’s the emotional weight behind it. The characters feel real, their struggles deeply personal, and their resilience inspiring. The narration pulls you in, making it impossible to stop turning pages.

If you love survival horror with strong character development and an unpredictable, immersive plot, this series is a must-read. Darcy Coates proves once again why she’s a powerhouse in modern horror fiction.

ABSOLUTELY FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!!!

What an ending to this INTENSE series!!! All four books were wild in their own way. This survival/post apocalyptic thriller series is definitely up on my list of favorite series!!! JUST WOW!!! Definitely my favorite Coates!! She is definitely one of my favorite writers.

These characters became something I don’t think they knew they could ever be…a survivor in a bleak world!! But the two main characters never lost who they were deep inside. In fact, their growth was gradual, but they blossomed into something they didn’t even dream of becoming. I won’t say too much, or give anything away, but this was such a well written series!!

If you enjoy Survival/Post Apocalyptic Thrillers with Romance (but no spiciness), then you will love this ADDICTIVE HEART POUNDING ROLLER COASTER SERIES!!!!

The narrator was unbelievably brilliant perfection!

Perfect ending

I loved this series. It was such an intriguing, fresh perspective on zombies. As always, Darcy wrote engaging characters and a perfectly paced story. I love that the characters are real, there is no reaching to make them "edgy" like so many new books, yet they are far from boring. I loved Angela's narration, as well. All four books were excellent.

Lots of suspense

I enjoyed the multiple twists and narrow escapes in all four books in the series. The outcome of the story was explained well and tied up the characters lives neatly in book 4. I could have done without so many run ins with the Hollows though. I would definitely recommend. I finished all 4 books in about two weeks as I was hard pressed to stop.
