You can also find my review here: https://devouringbooks2017.wordpress.com/2018/06/06/frostblood-by-elly-blake-review/ This is a book that I passed up reading a bunch of times, but picked it up on a whim because the cover caught my eye and someone agreed to read it with me. I went in blind, only ...
I received a copy from Netgalley. Initially I went into this one not knowing much about it. It was a bit of coverlust, really. Though rereading the blurb when my Netgalley request was approved it sounded like a generic YA fantasy, also sounding a bit too much like Red Queen (which I really didn’t ...
From time to time I always enjoy looking for a new YA series to start. I received an email from Netgalley about this book and it interested me so much that I thought it would be the next YA series that I'd try.

I wouldn't have wavered in the first half. But the second half sadly highlighted my problems with the book. Let's first talk about the ...
I have to say I had such a fun time reading this book. At first the book was setting up what was going on with Ruby, so there wasn't a lot of action. But once you got half way through, there was nonstop action. Ruby was so freaking awesome and I just loved her so much. I loved Arcus, Ruby's love int...
Loved Frostblood.Okay so there is a reason why YA novels of this type work so well for me - its the mix of fantasy and romance and a bang on story that just engulfs you. Frostblood is an adventure for the soul, engaging, fun characters, enough angst to shake a stick at and plenty of action and fiery...
