A review by alandd
Frostbite by Alexandria Bellefleur
5.0
People thinks short stories are meant to always feel as if they could have been longer and better, that it is a wasted chance to do a great novel or maybe a series. Frostbite could have certainly been a great novel, but that doesn't mean it wasn't an equally great story.
The characters felt very real, a lot, and their feelings, the way they acted and behaved, it all seemed to be natural and honest, just as what they felt, said, did, and everything in between. It was all so genuine I amost felt in the skin of one of the protagonists (a matter of personal likes, I need longer books to be completely inside.)
Also, I agree with those telling that this is like a fairy tale. The simple style, enchanting atmosphere and the general idea on how everything works and means something in this beutiful world the author created can only but make the reader daydream about living a love as sweet as this one.
The erotic content... I'll onl said I saw it all on my head in HD quality. The explicit description didn't make it look like a sh*t* Grey's porn book, which I am thankful for, as they still managed to be sweet, although with a significant heat level; very high, if anyone asks.
Yes, there are a few overused ideas, cliches, that some might dislike in here, but it is because of the structure that they didn't bother at all, but on the contrary, highlighted the special and original ideas on the story, as if they were the perfect complement for it.
The ending didn't surprise me, I knew where the characters were going to end at, but it is impressive that the author could play with my feelings and make me think, for a while, that I was wrong, as I didn't see coming what Rainor did at the end.
