Bitter Frost, Kailin Gow – Review

All her life, Breena had always dreamed about fairies as though she lived among them...beautiful fairies living among mortals and living in Feyland. In her dreams, he was always there the breathtakingly handsome but dangerous Winter Prince, Kian, who is her intended. When Breena turns sixteen, she begins seeing fairies and other creatures mortals don t see. Her best friend Logan, suddenly acts very protective. Then she sees Kian, who seems intent on finding her and carrying her off to Feyland. That's fine and all, but for the fact that humans rarely survive a trip to Feyland, a kiss from a fairy generally means death to the human unless that human has fairy blood in them or is very strong, and although Kian seemed to be her intended, he seems to hate her and wants her dead. - FROM THE BOOK BACK

FROM THE BOOK FAERY REVIEWS...Bitter Frost is the first in Gow's latest young adult Fey series. We're introduced to goblins, pixies, werewolves, and fairies. Breena is a shy girl who's constantly picked on by her schoolmates except by her best friend Logan who she later learns is a werewolf. We meet Kian, the Fairy Prince who's come to kidnap her and take her to the Winter Kingdom and the queen, his mom. She learns she is part fairy and princess of the Summer Kingdom; the reason why she always felt more at home in her fairy dreams than in the human world. Things don't turn out well and Breena ends up in the Summer Kingdom, where her father is king. She's arrested and taken to the Queen where she learns some of the reason why she was banned from Feyland. I enjoyed Bitter Frost. The descriptions of the the goblins, pixies, fairies, werewolves, and the different lands were amazing and gave me a clear picture. The book is filled with action and I nearly cried when the book ended before we could meet her father and find out what happened to her human mother. Thankfully we get to continue Breena, Kian, and Logan's story in the next book Forever Frost (September 2010).

MY LAST THOUGHT...I think it's time we get a new movie genre out...move over vamps! Love you guys but I'm ready for some Fey action!

I received a copy of this book for review. Receiving a copy in no way altered my opinion of the book.
