The Frost series is a series I've been following for a while now. It's very engaging, entertaining and a quick read. Every book before it held my attention very well and this installment didn't disappoint.

Breena, Logan and Kian face lots of adventure and danger in this book just like the others. A legendary hero resurfaces to help end the war and many people step up as leaders to do their part as well. You see many creatures of Feyland come together to save the land they love. It's amazing to read this story because I can visualize everything that's happening.
Of course, you can't leave out the love story that's woven throughout the series. Breena is truly in love with Kian but she's also in love with and currently engaged to Logan. This happened previously in the story when she was under the love spell. Only a few people know about the spell which causes awkward moments between the three when it's brought up. Logan's wolves believe that the engagment is real and they are happy to welcome Breena. Of course that means Breena must openly show love & affection for Logan which doesn't sit well with Kian. Breena is in love with both guys and knows she must eventually choose between the two but doesn't want to do so while the war is going on. To save one of them from feeling the heartbreak while having to fight alongside her. At the end of the war though, she finally reveals the choice she has made. She regrets having to hurt one guy but knows that she is perfectly happy with her choice.

I personally can't wait to read the next three books Frost Fire, Spring Frost & Enchanted Frost (coming Fall 2012)

The Wait Is OVER!!!!!

Hey guys,
I know I haven't been posting regularly like I used to but that was because I was at the end of my semester (i'm in college) and had to focus on finishing projects and studying for finals and all that stuff. But now the semester is over and I'm done for the summer!! That means I now have time for reading and posting, yay!

I'm currently reading 3 books: Intangible by J. Meyers, Delirium by Lauren Oliver and Midnight Frost by Kailin Gow and hope to finish those fairly soon. At least one will be done by this coming weekend. I also have a review to post on Reflection by Jessica Roberts so look for that by this weekend as well.

Authors!!
If you have emailed me about a book review and I have not yet gotten to it, don't worry. I finally have time to read again so it will be read & reviewed by me as soon as I can get to it.

Love you my little Utopians!!

Fearing a lifetime sentence as a lab-rat, Sam wants to keep her ability secret. But she also wants to know if there's a connection between dark Nazi experiments on others like her and her own mother's death eight years earlier. At the same time that Sam is sleuthing, she's falling hard for Will. And soon, she'll have to choose between keeping her secrets hidden and keeping Will safe.




The Muirwood Trilogy By Jeff Wheeler
This is the synopsis of the first book The Wretched of Muirwood, but I got the whole trilogy.


Imagine a world where words are so precious they are only etched in gold, and only the privileged are allowed to learn how to read. Muirwood Abbey is one of the few places where learners are taught to read and engrave, and thirteen year-old Lia wants nothing more than to learn both of these skills—yet she is a wretched, an orphan, and doomed to remain in the Aldermaston’s kitchen, forbidden to read and subject to his authority. Her future is destined for preparing recipes in a privileged household until, unexpectedly, a mysterious knight-maston abandons the wounded squire Colvin at the Aldermaston’s kitchen in the middle of the night. Soon after, Sheriff Almaguer comes hunting for Colvin, and Lia is thrust into the greatest adventure of her life as she and the squire are forced into a partnership that brings her closer to her dream—and Colvin closer to his fear of dying on the battlefield. The Wretched of Muirwood is the first book of the Muirwood Trilogy.
Little Girl Gone By Brett Battles
Logan Harper isn't looking for redemption. He just wants to live in peace and forget his troubled past. But one morning his quiet life is upended when he interrupts the attempted murder of his father's best friend Tooney.

The next thing he knows, Logan is on his way to Los Angeles, searching for Tooney's missing granddaughter and uncovering a sinister plot connected not only to Tooney's past, but also to the boardrooms of corporate America.

As the odds stack up against him, Logan must fall back on old skills from the life he'd rather forget. He's made a promise, and the only way to fulfill it is to bring the girl home alive.

Fresh Writes Spotlight: Melanie Cusick-Jones

After graduating from The University of Sheffield with an English Literature Masters in 2003, Melanie has been writing fiction - time permitting - ever since. 

The Ambrosia Sequence (started in 2008) and The Elementals (begun in 2004) are both ongoing, extended projects each containing several novels, aimed primarily at young adults and hover somewhere in the middle of sci-fi, futuristic and fantasy genres. Hope's Daughter, released in December 2011, is her debut novel and the first of The Ambrosia Sequence, with the sequel - Outlanders - due in 2012. 

When she's not writing Melanie enjoys the wet weather of the north of England with her dogs or disappearing into a book for a few hours (no surprise there then). Unfortunately, all too often the 'day job' gets in the way of the nicer things in life!

Life should be simple for Cassie. 

For the small population of Earth survivors who live on the Space Station Hope everything they do is planned and scheduled, down to the cyclical food menus, their roles in the station, even how many children they have. 

Despite rigid controls directing her life, Cassie feels more out of synch than ever and worries she won’t find a place for herself within the station community. Perhaps that’s because she’s hearing things inside her head that can’t possibly be real. Or maybe it’s the regular elopements of her peers, heading off to a romantic future in the Married Quarter of the space station, whilst she’s never even been attracted to a boy – no matter how hard her best friend Ami pushes them at her. Then there are the odd questions her work placement partner Balik keeps raising. His questions are just as troubling for her as his distracting smiles and eyes that seem to see inside her.

As Cassie draws closer to Balik she finds that everything else in her life begins to shift. He tells her things that call into question the system they live within. She can't believe he is right, but at the same time she finds it hard to deny the sincerity of his ideas. Could there be a connection between Cassie’s problems and Balik’s questions? The truth will drag them both to a terrifying and deadly conclusion beyond anything they could have imagined.
