I usually like Mike Bind books, I’ve been reading them for years, but this one wasn’t for me. The main characters were horrible people. The storyline started off great and exciting, but just went downhill from there.

**Review of *Snow* by Mike Bond**

*Snow* by Mike Bond is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that delves into the complexities of human nature, survival, and the unpredictable beauty of life itself. Set against the backdrop of a bleak, snow-covered landscape, the novel follows the journey of its protagonist, a man who has chosen isolation, finding himself amidst the unforgiving wilderness.

Bond’s writing is powerful, and his descriptions of the environment are vivid, making the snow itself almost a character in the story. The setting reflects the inner turmoil of the protagonist, as the quiet beauty of the natural world contrasts with his internal conflict. The coldness of the snow mirrors the emotional distance he feels, and the harsh environment becomes a metaphor for the challenges he faces.

The character development is deep, with Bond masterfully exploring themes of loneliness, redemption, and the search for meaning in life. The protagonist’s introspection is poignant and relatable, drawing readers into his emotional journey. Bond also delves into complex philosophical and existential questions, which add layers of depth to the narrative, leaving readers to reflect long after the book is finished.

The pacing of *Snow* is slow, which complements the meditative nature of the story. While this may not appeal to those who prefer fast-paced thrillers, readers who appreciate reflective, character-driven narratives will find themselves captivated by the novel’s atmosphere and depth.

Overall, *Snow* is a compelling, thought-provoking novel that masterfully combines breathtaking scenery with intense emotional depth. Mike Bond’s storytelling is both poetic and haunting, making this a memorable read for anyone interested in philosophical explorations and the beauty of nature.

This sound like the kind of book I like, sadly I was wrong. The characters of the book, I just couldn't relate to them. They had no morals whatsoever. It was not a good book, interesting my opinion.

I enjoyed this book. this is is what a thriller is supposed to be like. I loved all the characters even the ones that you were not supposed to. The author did a great job in describing each of the characters and painting a clear picture of where every scene was. Great job This book has made me want to read more by the author,

OK storyline that started really good, but then faltered as the story progressed. On an annual hunting trip, 2 friends find a downed airplane loaded with cocaine in coffins, and decide to take/sell it .Just say no to drugs,
Thank you NetGalley and Mandevilla Press for the ARC of the book.

I like this author. All of his books are solid and suspenseful with good characters and interesting plots. This one was no different !

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced readers copy. All opinions are honest and my own.

SNOW started off strong and full of action in ... the snow. It quickly turned into a cocaine-cartel story and something was missing. I'm not sure what, exactly.

The main characters were mostly unlikeable and they, naturally, did morally gray things. What would we do in this situation was a question I kept asking myself while reading.

I think overall Snow has a good premise, although it reminded me a bit of Breaking Bad and The Sopranos.

I was not a fan, at all, of the 14-year-old trafficked character. I felt like that aspect didn't help the plot along.

Thank you NetGalley and Mandevilla Press for an e-copy of SNOW to review.

I rate SNOW three out of five stars.

Snow by Mike Bond is a gritty, raw thriller. It has many twists and turns and leaves you guessing until the very end how the story will conclude. Two friends, one book smart one a retired NFL player make some questionable decisions while on their annual hunting trip. These decisions force them into a spree of crimes that includes drug trafficking, murder and theft. The book if full of adventure and an enjoyable read.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing this e-ARC. I am anticipating reading this soon and reviewing on my socials.

If you are in the mood for a stressful, wild good chase crime story, this one is for you. The title of this novel ties in cleverly as the story takes place in the winter snow and the main crime also revolves around a plane filled with … cocaine.
This book was a quick read for me, the first from this author. I plan to read more from him.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy for review.

Normal people that make a bad decision leads to a high octane thriller that will keep you reading right up to the very end. You can see the appeal of their decision. If you were facing financial difficulties, stumbling across something that could make your problems disappear would seem like a gift from heaven. However, how would you even sell the drugs? AND.... the cartels and drug dealers NEVER forget. They would come after their missing stash in a big way. Yet, those rational decisions are forgotten when looking at the answers to your prayers. Thus begins the chase. Will the DEA, FBI, their friend or the cartel catch them first?

Snow by Mike Bond is a tale as old as time! Friends go on their yearly hunting trip and they discover an entire plane of cocaine. Of course, one of them take it and all heck breaks loose! I personally love stories like this and I really enjoyed the story!

A well written book by an established author that kept me turning the pages. Would recommend to others as it was captivating, and intriguing.

This story is fast paced and one that many will get sucked into and not be able to put down. It is a story that may be a bit out there, but certainly one that keeps pages turning. Grab this and it give it a read for yourself. It was not one of my top reads, but I’m sure it will be for others.

A pair of friends finding a downed plane loaded with cocooned and their attempt to keep and sell it and make huge amounts of money that they’re desperate for for various reasons. Seems far fetched, but relatively fast moving.

Enjoyed this book from Mike Bond. Always enjoy his characters, and the pacing and plot was also great. Always wondered what it would be like to find a illegal treasure, and now hope I never do. Will be reading move from Mike Bond.

I did not realize this was a 2017 release, but it fits perfectly into my post on Chilling Winter Thrillers, so thanks to the publisher for sending it.

Snow reads like a screenplay with a quick set-up that is designed to set up all the twists. You can almost see how it's all going to play out.

I also found it a little similar to A Simple Plan, which also has a plot about a trio of people who find a crashed plane with bags of money (in the case of Snow, it's bricks of cocaine, which gives the title a nice double meaning.)

Yes!! This is a must read! Curl up by the fireplace with a steaming cup of hot chocolate and you won’t be able to stop!

three hunters are out hunting in the Montana wilderness and come across a plane that had crashed.
What they find inside that plane causes all three men to make some really poor decisions . The three men are having some serious financial problems and they make a choice that they think will help them. But what they soon discover is more than what they bargained for. What would you do if you came across a plane crash and what you found inside could change your live would you risk it? Knowing what’s inside someone is probably looking for also? The author Mike Bond brings you along an adventure that will have you guessing and shaking your head with disbelief what a thrilling story.
