The Jack Frost legend in a whole new light
A beautiful retelling of a myth brought to life. The characters are amazingly well, with both good points and flaws. Some more flawed than others. There are definite sad moments in it, but there's also laughter, love, and hope.

Chilling
at times and very engaging. The story of Jackson Frost and the strange occurrence of a murder victim that looks like exactly like him is a fun read.

Okay. I don't have thoughts one way or the other. I didn't like it, but I didn't dislike it either.

This text urgently needs a proofreader and editor. The story wasn't terrible, but there were some issues that bugged me. For example, a crazed gunman is after the one character, so he is placed under protective custody, yet left alone and of course the drugged and injured killer manages to bypass hospital security, holding a gun the whole time. Sorry if I don't buy that.
Like I said, it wasn't torture to read, but I wouldn't recommend this story.

Sad and sweet
I thought this book was a great read. the characters were great and Crow made a good guide for Jack. The ending was both sad and unbelievably sweet. My only complaint is that there are a few errors in grammar and printing throughout the book, but they do pathfinder the overall ability to comprehend what is trying to be conveyed.

Like I said in another review. I love Zoe Martinique. I liked this book as well, but it seemed like it didn't go through an editor. I found many mistakes that kept pulling me out of the story and it surprised me. I will probably read the rest of the series because I like the story, but I hope the others are edited better.

Quite a short book. It's a fantasy novel in a traditional sense - half child of a god, brought up as human, doesn't know his powers or potential obligations. It's mixed with a murder story, and works fairly well.

Old myth made new
A heat wave at Christmas and a dead body bring a new telling to the story of Jack Frost. Keep some tissues handy for the bittersweet ending.
