Summary from Goodreads:
Even the hottest love can turn a girl cold-blooded…
Life's tough for a vampire thief on the run—just ask Pandora Scott, she knows. Four years ago she ran away from home after everyone she loved betrayed her. But now her annoyingly grown up (and handsome) ex boyfriend is stalking her, begging her to return. A mysterious vamp with a particularly dangerous (and sexy) stare keeps popping unexpectedly into her life. The extremely powerful head vampire of New York is hunting her down because she may or may not have broken into his highly-secure, highly-secretive personal vault. And the fate she's been trying to outrun? Well, it's about to catch up. Because even a super-speedy vamp with the ability to disappear can't escape her own destiny.
A brand new spinoff to Midnight Fire, a bestselling series with over 200,000 copies sold and over 5000 5-star reviews on Goodreads! Fans will enjoy special appearances from Kira, Luke and Tristan while falling in love with the new characters and new adventure of Midnight Ice.
*Please note, you do not need to read the books of Midnight Fire to enjoy Frost (Midnight Ice Book 1). They are two standalone series with character crossover.

My Rating: ★★★★★
When I finished reading this book, I dropped my kindle (may have slightly tossed) and said to my roommate.. "It's over... it end on a cliff hander, what the hell.!" My heart might be slightly damaged. I was not expecting that plot twist.
I am in love with Pandora, she is badass! I love how for the most part she repeatedly kicked Jax's ass. He deserved it, at first I felt sorry for him, but after the nuclear explosion that was the ending, I hope she rips his nuts off. And believe me, I was on his said for a bit, I totally bought into why he though she turned, but damn it, holy hell, Pandora had a right to run, to get away. Jax, I hope he meets a very bloody end.
Apart from me picking up what's left of my heart, this is an astounding work of fiction. I was drawn in form the start, I took my time reading because this is a short read; that and, this being an ARC I'm going to have agonize over having to wait that much longer for the next instillment. I need to know what happens!!! Aside from that pain in the ass, the plot is solid, the tone is light but dark at the same time. We're give action, blood, and theft; mix with a some witty banter and of course Pandora's vexing why of dealing with her emotions. (I'm not a fan of the running, though I do get why).
The pacing is fast, with just enough of a lull to get some background and some gushy romance. The battle scene's... Ah... be still my beating heart!
There is so much I can say about this book, so much I can try to explain as to why I believe you should read this book. So I'm not going to keep this long, so take my word for it. Read this book, it is something special, something much more then your typical vampire romance.
I highly recommend this book. Pandora is the MC you've been waiting to read about, she has broken down walls I didn't even know I had up regarding urban fantasy. I have a new love for it, and I believe you will to.
Happy Reading
-E.A. Walsh
Post of Favourite Quotes
Ooh, I hate doing favorites. I find it so tough to narrow any topic down to a top ten or top five when there are so many amazing things in the world. But for you, I’ll try!
Here are my top five (non-spoilery) quotes from my new book, Frost (Midnight Ice Book 1)!
Normally, Pandora preferred to steal for a good cause, more of a supernatural Robin Hood, some might say. Blonder of course, with a much better ass.
Because before, he'd been able to sense her beating heart, her soul. But now, when she slipped away, there was nothing to trace, nothing to find. She became nothing. And even a tracker as good as Jax couldn't find what wasn't there.
"You look good enough to eat," a sultry voice whispered in her ear.
Pandora whipped around lightning fast, flashing her fangs. "I bite."
The man smiled, lips practically dripping with sin. "Me too."
Pandora opened her senses, letting her fangs slide out, and embraced the thing she hated most. Even from this lonely spot in the woods, she heard a hundred pulses ticking, a clock winding down. Blood lingered in the breeze, an enticing, faint scent. She followed the trail.
"Pandora," Sam whispered, bringing his finger under her chin, skin warm and soft, a half touch, real but not real, just like him. Ethereal.
And a bonus line, because I love this scene in the book ☺
"Don't mind me," he responded merrily, eyes closed. "I'm just warming up in the sun, getting my tan on, displaying my forbidden fruit…"
And here are my top five favorite quotes from other amazing young adult books!
[She] had always suffered from a vague restlessness, a longing for adventure that she told herself severely was the result of reading too many novels when she was a small child.

Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. ‘After all this time?’ ‘Always,’ said Snape.

Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.
—Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park
Don’t be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don’t have to live forever, you just have to live.

Hope? Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.
