Arctic Flames

Frosthaven Academy #4

by Jaye Marellen

The council that ruled the wolves is gone.

Now the packs are on the edge of war.

Without leadership, old rivalries are reigniting. Territories are shifting. And unrest is spreading through Frosthaven like wildfire.

Cora should be learning how to survive academy life. Instead, she’s being pushed toward something far bigger.

Her wolf hasn’t awakened.

Her fated mates remain out of reach.

And the power everyone expects her to wield is still locked deep inside.

But the wolves are watching.

Waiting.

Because if Cora can rise, she might unite the packs.

If she can’t…

Frosthaven will burn.

A scorching paranormal reverse harem with fated mates, a deeply human heroine who can’t shift to save her life, and a talent for turning enemies into allies—even if she’d rather just have one drama-free week. Perfect for fans of Tessa Hale, Jaymin Eve, and KC Kean.

Book 4 in the Frosthaven Academy series. Start with Arctic Bonds.

About the author

Jaye Marellen has always believed Belle should have stayed with the Beast—because let’s be honest, the grumpy guy with claws was the best part of the story. She writes romances full of banter, heat, and a little bit of magic, where happily-ever-after doesn’t mean sanding off the rough edges. When she’s not dreaming up growly heroes and the women bold enough to love them, you’ll find her reading spicy stories, sipping too much coffee, and rooting for love stories with a twist.

I liked Cora's book a lot more than I thought I would! My only peeve was the way her fourth mate was brought in. And I don't like how it was the final piece for her to move forward.

However, I enjoyed getting more depth into her and her mate's characters. One thing I'll say for sure, is that I'm so glad Mason was saved in the previous series. He's so adorable and loving! Victor being obsessively protective and caring warmed my heart too. And I can't forget about Tyler, him and his jokes had me smiling frequently! Loved that he always stuck beside his mates no matter what.

Aside from that, I seriously am excited to read Lumi's series!! Her character definitely left a mark even without being in many scenes.

This was good. Another short and sweet shifter romance in the series. While we still have Rae and her six mates, this one follows our favorite side characters, Cora and her mates.

This continues on with the aftermath of the last book, where we see what happens when groups rebel against the new, more harmonious and accepting rules/laws that have been rolled out by the new and improved shifter council.

The plot is pretty basic, this is not anything particularly ground breaking, but the banter and the bonds between the characters is really what carries this book. If you want something light and breezy that you can whip through, this is probably great but if you’re looking for a super immersive, plot forward shifter romance series to binge, this probably won’t scratch that itch.

Best Bookof this Wonderful Series

While I have loved all the characters, plots and romance of the previous 3 books, this is my favorite. I love Cora, her personality and compassion. Love all the funny banter and giggle worth humor.

I love Cora, the possible girl, she really made the impossible possible. This was a wonderful spinoff to another spinoff with Lumi's book. Love it!
