Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep
I have mixed feeling on this book. On one hand I was slightly disappointed with the writing style, but on the other hand I still want to read the other books in the series.
I tend to be picky about writing styles of different authors and this one hit a few of those nerves. Her writing style tends to sound a tad immature at times and she can be repetitive about different aspects. For example she will remind the reader about one girl being a 'Valkeryie' almot every time said character shows up in the book. It's unnecessary.
Another aspect that annoyed me was the fact that she chose to make the novel somewhat of a romance novel but the issue of the romance didn't show up until almost halfway through the book. And because she waited so long for the romance to pick up, the relationship sped up way too fast and it went straight from enemies to love in a matter of a couple chapters.
I also found that she didn't spend alot of time with her characters and getting to know them. Especially the main character, Gwen. I could never get a good feel on her about what kind of girl she really was.
But the book wasn't all bad, the idea was unique and the plot was exciting, i was never bored while reading it. I still want to read the rest in the series.
