Gena Showalter’s FROST AND FLAME is action-packed and thrilling. I was interested in the story of Bane and Nola since the first book of the series. However, I did encounter something that kind of hindered my reading experience.
As a fan of Showalter’s writing for many years, I can safely say that I’ve read the majority of her books, but I do feel like her writing style has definitely changed over the years and in this particular book, it’s very clear.
FROST AND FLAME has a choppy narration, which I think made it hard to get into in the beginning. While I enjoyed the characters, the worldbuilding, and the plot, there was a lot of stops and starts throughout the book, which I think impacted the flow. So I wasn’t such a big fan of that.
However, I still really love the concept of this series. I think if you’re a fan of Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark and Arcana Chronicles series, then you will definitely enjoy this book as well.
Bane of Adwaeweth is the most feared immortal warrior in All War history. Possessed by a bloodthirsty beast, he will stop at nothing to win. Then he meets irresistible Nola Lee. He hates the power she wields over him, but she alone can rain vengeance upon his wife’s killer.
Unaware of her destiny to rule as queen of beasts, Nola battles illness, addiction and vulnerability. With Bane, however, she experiences pleasure for the first time, and only wants more. But being with him comes with a terrible price.
With enemies lurking around every corner, Bane and Nola must fight to survive. But time is running out, and neither can resist the sizzling attraction blazing between them. Will their romance save the beast and his beauty, or destroy everything they’ve come to love?
