Her Magic Will Get Under Your Skin.Her Story Will Fill Your ImaginationDakota Frost's Enthralling Saga Begins . . . In an alternate Atlanta where magic is practiced openly, where shapeshifters party at the urban clubs and vampires rule the southern nights like gangsters, where demure witches sip coffees at the local cafes and mysterious creatures command the dark caverns beneath the city, Dakota Frost's talents are coveted by all: She's the best magical tattoo artist in the southeast: a SkinDancer, able to bring her amazing tats to life. When a serial killer begins stalking Atlanta's tattooed elite, the police and Feds seek Dakota's help. Can she find the killer in the dark fringe of the city's magical Edgeworld? What kind of enemies and allies will she attract among the powerful outcasts and tormented loners, who see her as a threat, a seduction, an unexpected champion . . . or as delicious prey. Frost Moon is Book One of the Skindancer fantasy series by debut author Anthony Francis. Filled with unforgettable characters, spine-tingling action, scenes of sheer wonder, kinky rebellion and edgy love, Frost Moon is storytelling at its most classic, and Dakota Frost is an irresistible new star of fantasy fiction.

It took some time for this book to pick up. Dakota sure attracts the guys. That was a bit surprising to me mainly because she is unconventional in her look (mohawk, tatoos, 6'2")and also mentioned (more than once) her bisexuality. I liked the shout-out to Borders in this one. (I miss Borders, mo...
This book really has me on the fence. In reading books in the urban fantasy genre, I tend to look for two things: interesting world-building and good characters. Frost Moon does have some appealing world-building – the alternate reality called “Edgeworld” where the vampires, shifters, and magician...
I have a lukewarm impression of Anthony Francis' "Frost Moon" overall - not so much for the blunt content with respect to violence, language or sex (which for all three measures, this book was graphic in spurts so mature audiences ONLY), but for the rather choppy presentation and lack of directive f...
