I read this book saturday/sunday, and i’ve waited a while to write the review. i wasn’t sure what to say.

obviously, everyone has heard about the Hush, Hush phenomenon. it’s everyone’s new favorite book, it’s everywhere, it’s popular. well people, there’s a reason for that.

this review is going to be different than my others in that I’m breaking my usual format. short and sweet—this will either be your new favorite book, or the dumbest book you’ve ever read in your life. I’m on the favorite side.

I mention the other side because of the twilight phenomenon. people either love it or hate it. same with Harry Potter.

My opinion: I’ll never regret spending $12.00 on this book (I bought it discounted). I’ll read it again and again and i loved it. (but remember that Patch is already taken *coughhesminecough*)

I will say this, though. I’m so excited for the sequel Crescendo. there is no cliff-hanger in this though, rest assured. I just want more of Patch ;)

I'm not writing more than this because i don't want to spoil it and i don't want to give you a preconceived idea about it. i want you to approach it with an open mind ;)

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Beyond the Ice Limit (Gideon Crew, #4; Ice Limit #2) in Books

Feb 21, 2018

I have always been a fan of Douglas Preston and Lincoln child, writing together or individually, and The Ice Limit is one of my favorite stand-alones from the duo.

Gideon Crew, however, is not my favorite of their characters. As street smart as one would expect him to be considering his past, he always seems a bit naive, especially when it comes to women. This isnt a flaw in the writing, just a character trait that I dont particularly care for.

With that said, I was a little apprehensive going into this I wanted to go back to the ice limit to see what would happen, but I wasnt sure I wanted Gideon to come along. I shouldnt have worried though this turned out to be my favorite Gideon Crew novel so far. He had a skill set that made him a logical choice for the mission, and he fit right in with the rest of the highly-specialized crew.

The story really felt like a continuation of the original book, and thats exactly what I was hoping for. It offers an interesting, if not entirely expected, conclusion to the story. If youve read and enjoyed The Ice Limit, you should definitely read this one.

Plot

One of my favorite romances

This is the second time that I have read this book and honestly it is even better than I can remember. Samantha Young has a way with creating a world that you just step into. I first picked this book up in 2012 when I was looking for a cheap read. It was only a few dollars at that time and I couldn't put it down. Joss & Braden are wonderful characters that are sure to make you swoon. Joss is a kick ass girl who has some pretty big issues going on in her life. I loved that she sought help for her issues & I loved how Samantha Young was able to portray therapy in such a positive light. I loved the banter between Joss & Braden and I just loved each and every character that was introduced.

The plot kept me on my toes. I never knew if I was going to laugh, cry or roll my eyes in frustration. This is honestly my favorite romance that I have read. If you haven't read Samantha Young, you're truly missing out. She quickly became one of my favorite authors and has yet to disappoint me. The characters, the plot, literally everything about this book is beautiful.
