Book Review: Etched in Frost

 

Jolie


I always believed ballet was the love of my life.
My fate.
Until that tragic day that rocked my world. Now my mom is gone, I’ve lost my spot at the Institute, and I’m left to pick up the pieces and start over on my own.
I should be grateful for this second chance at life, at my dream, but I can’t stop wondering how I survived the accident, obsessing over why I was the only one who walked away…and imagining those eyes—twin panes of shattered ice that have been haunting me ever since.


Jax

As a Frost, it’s my duty to bring winter to the world. And the most important creed we harbingers must follow: Never interfere with the affairs of mortals.
After getting benched last season, I’m already skating on thin ice when I finally find her.
My mate.
I’ll break the rules to make her mine, but I can’t risk banishment from the mortal world. Not when that would cut me off from her. Not when she’s finally within reach.
There’s just one problem…
She doesn’t believe I exist.


Etched in Frost is a contemporary Jack Frost reimagining with Swan Lake vibes. An angsty, fated mates shifter/mortal romance, this standalone includes some dark themes and content best suited for those over the age of 18.



My Review

I felt for Jax. To be turned into a harbinger at a young age and due to an unfortunate accident. Yet, I was glad to see that he was given a new lease on life and to have a fated mate. While the connection to Jolie was strong for Jax, it took longer for Jolie to feel the connection. 

This was a slow burn romance for sure. In fact, I struggled for a while to find my connection to Jolie and Jax together. It was not until about the halfway point when Jolie learned who Jax was, and they interacted more that I started feeling the chemistry with them. 

The second half of the book was better for me. Loved how Jolie and Jax were thinking of each other's happiness even if it might mean spending it apart. 

"He's the whisper of the wind, the cold settled in my bones, the flakes that fall outside."
