My Review
So many things happen in this action packed sequel to Ice that I am struggling to share my review without including spoilers.
Lauren Carr doesn’t waste any time dropping you into the thrills and intrigue with a murder attempt on a person who was supposed to be already dead. Here is where the spoiler free review becomes difficult. So, I’ll just talk about how much fun I had with Winter Frost.
Many of my favorite characters were present, along with some serious bad guys and the much adored non human ones. The bond between the characters and furry family members in Lauren’s books are so genuine. And the animals have their own distinct personalities, which makes for some crazy fun.
There’s also not just one but several mysteries and agendas occurring throughout the book which keeps the excitement ramped up and the anticipation for answers high.
Did I enjoy this book as much as the first one, Ice? I sure did. Lauren once again made me laugh, coo over the romance, cheer on the good guys and wish the worst on the villains.
