scarlettereads's review against another edition
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
2.0
Frostbite is just as bad as book one, except that instead of one paedophile there are TWO! And the second was my favourite character in the series when I was a teen. To be fair, it was slim pickings with this series. But at least I didn’t picture Mr. Tommy Wiseau when I read about Adrian Ivashkov!
Rose is insufferable for most of this book. It was hard to read, especially when the audio performer made her voice so bloody whiny.
Nothing really happens until the last two-ish hours of this (audio)book. It’s pretty boring, overall. (Except for when Adrian buys Rose countless perfumes. Seriously weird way of flirting. Like, you smell good enough to eat, but you’d be mouthwatering with a little seasoning? 🧐)
I’m going to read book three anyway because I’m putting off reading a new release that I’m sure will break my heart a bit.

Yikes, this is so much more problematic than I remember. The age gap between the love interests is…yikes. Dimitri is 24 and Rose is 17. When he says to her, “you’ve experienced things some adults haven’t,” and “you’re so much more mature than some adults,” it just screams groomer.
