In the tiny village of Somer the paranormal and normal live side by side in harmony. There is none of the chaos that reigns in the war far away. Still, when Cherie's grandmother dies things begin to change. Cherie's long-time crush is a ghost in a mirror, but he can do little more than warn the residents. The Queen's men are coming and they will take the most magically inclined to fight in the war. Intent on getting away Cherie begins her travels out of town, trailing her friends who left before her, only to stumble upon a vampire. With Grandmother's help can she and Jack Frost strike a bargain that will keep her village safe?
This book was one of my impulse purchases and I loved it. I got this book shortly after finishing Tasting Red, which I did the review on not too long ago. I was in my feels about twisted fairy tales and found this gem. A fun mix of snow white and Jack Frost in a contemporary setting. It is very much so post-apocalyptic, mind you. This book is set in the future after the Queen successfully toppled the United States.
We begin by meeting Cherie and discovering that her grandmother has just died and how she is handling this loss. We then meet Jack Frost, the "ghost" trapped in mirrors and discover that while Cherie has some magic it isn't very much. You can see the magic around people, and hers was never overly present. Still, the Queen's men are interested in her and their town. She has to save her people. No matter the consequences. But, the world outside of her town is a very different place. No matter the deal she must strike she will make it to the heart of Chicago and free the only warrior that can help them.
I loved every step of the journey as well as discovering more about Cherie's magic. Everything from the Fae to the demons is amazing. I would love to see how this plays out as the series continues. The story-line is engaging, the characters are well rounded and there is just enough of a hanger at the end that you can't wait to find out what happens next. There are some romance aspects to the book, but it is very much so a slow burn.
