Grace Lynn Stevenson is an eighteen year old girl who recently moved with her wealthy, but busy parents to a new city. She’s popular, pretty and rich – what more could a girl want? But deep down, she’s sad, lonely and plagued by nightmares.
When she meets Sebastian Caldwood at her new private school, she’s inexplicably drawn to him and his strange tattoos. Sebastian always gets what he wants – he simply has to wish it; but he’s fighting his own inner demons, and struggling to remember a past that eludes him. When he remembers that he is much older than he looks, he realizes that he’s seen many people live and die, including Grace.
Once Sebastian realizes his true nature and finds what he has been searching for the past hundreds of years, he also realizes that it is now up to him to protect Grace from the dangers that have plagued them throughout eternity.
I was really excited to read Amber Frost, because its paranormal, without being vampires or witches( not that I don’t like my fair share of those). Amber Frost was a pretty quick read and I really enjoyed it.
I liked Grace, but not intsantly. The way she was introduced as a character was slowly, it felt like a friendship where the more I knew her, the better I liked her. I liked that she had a lot of layers to her personality. It was interesting to me that a lot of the drama was between who she was, and who she wanted to be. That internal fight is someone everyone can relate to, in all walks of life. I was rooting for her the whole time to break out of her shell, and stay true to her self.
Sebastian is this lost boy, who doesn’t know who he is, but enables Grace to be come who she wants. I liked his attitude and the way his thought process was very clear in his actions. Their relationship was refreshing because it never felt forced, or unhealthy. They really work well together and had some serious chemistry.
I loved the idea of the dark side of getting anything you wish for. I liked how his deepest desires always came true, but sometimes at the cost of something he cared about. It made for a really creative paranormal trait.
I am not going to spoil anything, but throughout the story, there are glimpses of what is to come. When everything finally comes to a head, there is a great foundation set up for book 2. I have great news for you, Silver Dew( The Lost Magic #2) is already available for purchase. I haven’t read it yet, but it is definitely going on the top of my to read pile.
