My favorite book of 2024 so far out of the 59 I’ve read. I tore through this so quick and couldn’t put it down!

I loved Rune, he reminded me so much of Astarion from BG3. Their undeniable chemistry was everything to me and I love a submissive man.

Enemies-to-lovers fans this is for you! Good banter and spice, well-written! 

My one complaint is not a complaint at all: I only wished it were longer so I didn’t have to be done with this story already!!

4.5/5✨

I have to start my review stating that I received an advanced reader copy from the author. Happy release day!!

A Frost Queens Blade

I accidentally forgot about this arc with my many arcs piling up for feb/march. That being said I did not have to speed read this with haste to finish. This was such a fun read that kept me interested the whole way through!

The only .5 deduction is that that ending/buildup was a teeny bit predictable and happened so quickly. Then the quickly buttoned up HEA.

I adored the bloodthirsty FMC and the snarky MMC.

We have so many good tropes in this book and the overall story was original and fun! The atmosphere is like castle black from game of thrones and gladiators.

Tropes:

Enemies to lovers ✔️
Queen / body guard ✔️
Blood and knife play✔️
Forced proximity✔️
He falls first ✔️

I look forward to the next book and will gladly be reading more from the author!
