I feel reluctant to rate it any higher with the kiss between Dimitri and Rose at the end. She's still 17, and he's still 24.

So much goes down in this book that there’s almost no break. You get to meet quite a few new people including another spirit user! Be prepared to cry by then end though.

Frostbite is just as bad as book one, except that instead of one paedophile there are TWO! And the second was my favourite character in the series when I was a teen. To be fair, it was slim pickings with this series. But at least I didn’t picture Mr. Tommy Wiseau when I read about Adrian Ivashkov!

Rose is insufferable for most of this book. It was hard to read, especially when the audio performer made her voice so bloody whiny.

Nothing really happens until the last two-ish hours of this (audio)book. It’s pretty boring, overall. (Except for when Adrian buys Rose countless perfumes. Seriously weird way of flirting. Like, you smell good enough to eat, but you’d be mouthwatering with a little seasoning? 🧐)

I’m going to read book three anyway because I’m putting off reading a new release that I’m sure will break my heart a bit.

This rating is reflective of how much I enjoyed this book when I originally read it, however I recognize a lot of the issues this book has now, and probably wouldn't rate it as highly anymore, despite really enjoying all rereads.
