I enjoyed this read. Living on Cape Cod gave me a different perspective. The descriptions were right on and I enjoyed reading a book with references to things I knew! The characters sucked me in and it was a very fast read.

I was hooked
I loved the development of the characters and the way the life of the protagonist was portrayed a bit at a time. I found her very relatable and cried a few times towards the end.

"This book is like a love letter to libraries, and made me nostalgic for the long hours I used to spend there when I was a kid. It’s a captivating story and I can’t wait for y’all to read it with me!"

Such a good read and could never of guessed the ending.
It was a page turner that I couldn't put down.
It kept me guessing and everytime I thought I had figured it out a twist got thrown in.

WOW, this book was really good!! I read it a long time ago, maybe 7 years ago. The characters were great, the story was great, you really felt for the characters. I remember it being a book I couldn't put down. Such a great read. I've read it a couple times and I wouldn't hesitate to check it out again.

This was a quick and entertaining read. The characters felt a little flat to me but I think it is because it is for a younger reader. This would be a good book for kids. I found myself enjoying the story line. The plot is interesting. I might continue on in the series if I am looking for another quick read.

I received a copy of Shadow Frost from Blackstone Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a sucker for world building and this one was a thrill to read.

I loved the way magic was portrayed in this book but most importantly I adore the characters.

I really really hope there's going to be a sequel to this one, because that cliffhanger!

Excellent pacey read
I picked up this book from a book swap bookshelf on holiday. From the moment I started reading it I could not put it down.
The storyline moved at a good pace and also gave the characters a lot of background and depth.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good crime story.

Not having read any of Mary Burton’s books before [where have I been living!!!!], I didn’t know what to expect but the description sounded like something I would enjoy and I did.
