Shadow and Ice by Gena Showalter

5.0

I was so excited when I saw that Gena Showalter was coming out with a new series and though I had to wait awhile before I could read it, Shadow and Ice was absolutely worth it! The book captured my attention from the get-go and I just fell deeper and deeper into it the more I read on. It was so intriguing from the characters and the plot to this Gods of War world and just everything — I couldn’t get enough. Shadow and Ice was totally amazeballs and while that word might not seem appropriate to describe this book, I can assure you that it is and that Vale would love it and that’s what matters!

Speaking of Vale, I loved, loved, loved her, she is a complete and utter BOSS! She’s fierce, tough, loyal to the people she cares about, and does it all with snark and sass — I could not have asked for a better heroine. I think Vale might have edged out Knox as to who’s my favorite, but I love them both so much and especially together — they were fire and passion and made my heart pound when it wasn’t melting.

Shadow and Ice was highly entertaining to read. It amused me, thrilled me, kept me engaged, and turning the pages to find out what would happen next. It made my heart ache at times, made me tear up, made me yell and laugh and just put a smile on my face. I wholeheartedly loved Shadow and Ice and I can’t wait to read Frost and Flame!
