A Hint of Frost by Hailey Edwards

Whilst spying...well I wouldn't call it spying...observing maybe, a human using their computer, I learned something new. I discovered keywords and their use in the Amazon Cloud. After the human retired for the evening I stole into the room where their computer is kept, and I set straight to work trying to find my old friend Jack Frost. While searching, I came upon the book entitled A Hint of Frost by Hailey Edwards. I was intrigued, abandoning my search for Jack, I settled myself upon the keyboard and began reading.

The story itself is a riveting tale of betrayal, loyalty, and romance - all things important to a curious sprite. Lourdes struggles between what her heart wants and what her clan needs, not unlike young female humans today. Rhys is conflicted by what his clan expects him to be and who he really is. Rhys' confliction seems to reflect what young human men sometimes face.

The opening action scene threw me off, but I was able to catch on quickly. Reading on I enjoyed the pace of the story. By the end of the third chapter it was hard to stop reading, and I found myself hoping the humans would slumber for a few hours more. Although there where a few punctuation and grammar errors, as well as some instances where it was a little overly descriptive, I found as a whole it was a great read.

The characters were well written and relatable, even to a sprite like me. I enjoyed watching them develop as I got further into the book. Having a strong female lead is something that I admire in human literature, and I think that Hailey Edwards pulled it off very well. The use of complex clan dynamics is not easily accomplished, yet Edwards achieved this with little effort. 

Overall I would recommend this book to readers with a hesitant caution in regards to sexual content. Well done, Ms. Edwards, well done indeed! I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series!

Farewell my mortal readers, until Friday next.
