In this stand-alone continuation of the tale begun in Frostbite, horror star David Wellington delivers another gripping werewolf tale in which heroine Chey is once again forced to fight for her own humanity.
Overwinter opens as protagonist Chey, bitten by a werewolf and cursed to live out eternity as a monster, prowls the Arctic Circle on the trail of an ancient secret, the one thing that could remove the lycanthropic curse and make her human again. As she hunts for an answer, she realizes that with every passing day the wolf inside her is becoming stronger and her humanity is slipping away. Meanwhile, another werewolf arrives, an evil centuries-old woman, bent on sabotaging Chey’s quest and stealing away the one thing that’s still important to her.

"Overwinter started off from where Frostbitten left off. A excellent 2nd part to the story, loved the characters, loved the plot and loved the author's writing. Recommend this very highly! To get a better enjoyment out of the book, read his 1st book, Frostbitten. Recommend very highly!"

“Wellington amazingly details the overwhelming smells and tastes…along with the sheer ectasy of running on all fours…the very best that horror fiction can be.”
— Bookgasm.com“Fast-paced and highly original…Overwinter is wonderfully paced from start to finish and reaches a highly satisfying climax.”
— Horror Review“A perfect follow-up to Frostbite, with enough action and gore to entertain…but also with a perfect amount of development and history.”
— Bloodsprayer.com" Fantastic book that had be roaring for the good guys to win as always. Wellington has a way of keeping you engaged in the plotline at all times, marking him still as one of my favorite authors. "
— Wayne, 2/18/2014" My least favorite David Wellington book to date. It's predecessor, Frostbite, was surprisingly good; this one just didn't deliver for me. Too much ancient arctic animal spirits crap for my tastes. Will still continue to read Wellington, as his vampire and zombie books are so noir and edgy - no YA garbage. "
— Rob, 1/23/2014" Enjoyed the story, especially understanding the origin of Wellington's werewolves, but I felt like something was missing this time around. It didn't have the same magic. "
— Amanda, 1/21/2014" duuuuuuuuuumb and kind of gross, but readable. "
— Julia, 1/19/2014" An exciting read. It certainly kept you on the edge of your seat wondering what was going to happen next. I thought Dzo was an interesting character I was glad he was ok at the end. I would definitely recommend reading this story. "
— Thasc, 1/14/2014" Good story. Had me interested throughout. Different from other wolf books. Enjoyed it. "
— Shell, 12/26/2013" I don't even want to start. This book was so boring that it feels like every moment assosiated with it, drowns all my energy. "
— Khrystina, 12/13/2013" I enjoyed this book, but it was sometimes hard to follow the plot and switching from wolf to human "
— Ann, 11/25/2013" The storyline is not as stronger as I thought but still I love the fact that this is a book about Warewolf. Think I'm obsessed about them. Haha XD "
— Quincess, 5/27/2013" I loved this book more than the first, I really hated Lucie. "
— Becky, 3/10/2012" Loved the book... hated the ending. "
— SmittenKitten, 11/7/2011" Hard work to get in to at first, then the story picks up speed, and I finally started enjoy this book.... then wallop!!! It ended with disappointment... "
— Clare, 8/20/2011" Would have been better if he hadn't kept telling us the same information over and over. I get it, silver bullets don't fly true. Sheesh. No interest in reading the previous book, frostbite. "
— Debby, 7/19/2011" Interesting werewolf tale. Not quite what I was expecting, but still good. Nothing is as it seems which adds a nice air of mystery to the story. The characters are also very interesting. "
— Bodea, 3/27/2011" horror meets urban fantasy. story of werewolves - where all wolves despise humans and try to kill them. young lady who has been trying to get the werewolf killer of her father finds herself changed. nothing is sweet. "
— Jenny, 1/18/2011" I enjoyed this. I'd never really read any werewolf fiction, and although D. Wellington lends his own creative license to the folklore it worked very well. "
— Douglas, 12/26/2010" I liked this book. I got the 2nd one, Overwinter. I really like David Wellington's writing style. "
