Crown of Blood and Frost #2
Tainted Throne
I went to Elyeria to find answers and ended up with more questions.
It’s too late to turn back now, and all I can do is learn how to play the game and quickly to stay alive.
I’m a princess from one of the strongest bloodlines in history.
There’s a prophecy about me where I’m supposed to save the world, unite the supernaturals, and become their Empress, while destined to have six mates.
One of my mates can’t be trusted.
His ex wants me dead.
The Queen wants me dead.
The Council wants me dead.
Why did I come here in the first place?
Elyeria was supposed to keep me safe.
Turns out, I’m in more danger here than I was before.
Who can I trust when everyone’s eyes are trained on a Tainted Throne?
My name is Winter DelaCorte.
I am the Lost Heir of House Storm

You won’t regret continuing Winter’s story.
Tainted Throne blows book 1 out of the water. I mean I didn’t care much for Winter in book one because a majority of the time she was an annoying high schooler, but she completely flips the script in this book and I, like 4 other men, am completely in Love with this mysterious girl. Winter has broken free of the high school drama and is a total bada$$. I got chills when she compared her arena entrance to Selene in Underworld. I was like YES QUEEN!! She has come full circle. This book starts out with a BANG and just keeps going. And let me just say, the steam in this book.. woo child let me fan myself. Chaos is my #1 man right now. That man is smokin’. And that last little scene with Winter and 2 others? Mmmm, mmm, mmmm. You just going to have to read to find out what I’m talking about because I’m not going to spoil it for you. Bring on book 3 because I NEED to know what that fake a$$ b!tch queen Hera, Prince Avery and Cardinal are about to throw down.

Is everyone tainted?
Holy shizballs, Tainted Throne is an excellent follow up to The Lost Heir! My heart was pounding all throughout this book. This is definitely NSFW or public cause trust me when I say it's hot IT'S HOT! Winter has made it to Elyria so let the games begin. Queen Here may have met her match? We get a little bit more information this go around, but I am not gonna lie I am still worried. I can say that I hated Kaiden a lot in this book. He needs to become his own person when it comes to his mother. Oh there are secrets revealed to, so I want to know how that will go. Winter finds her lightning too. I can't wait to delve into book three.

well, Winter has crossed the Veil with her mates (even though they can't all be together for the time being) .. she's met the False Queen & is unimpressed .. Winter learns to use her Lightning & Storm powers to prove she's truly descended from House Storm .. weddings take place .. acts of plotting against Winter leave us all dangling at the end ... love this series!

E.P.I.C...!
CY Jones is a firm favourite of mine in the RH genre. With the ability to write epic tales, full of darkly sinful desires, brilliant world building, and perfectly paced stories, this second book in the Crown of Blood and Frost Series is no exception and this series may just be my favourite of hers yet!
I love that we are still meeting new central characters and seeing others develop. The twists and turns keep coming and relationships are still burning hot.
I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Book two will blow you away. Not only do you see the amazing characters grow in their journey, you will watch as C Y dose as well. There are twists and turns in this story. Plus action, adventure danger, and so much in { grab a fan } lol I love this story and can't wait to see what happens next

Well this definitely starts with a bang haha quite literally!
I’m really enjoying watching Winters powers grow as well as her story. The men are just super hot but also developing well. It’s definitely a good series if you enjoy the dramas of a court vampire or Fae. A very good reverse harem!

Anything by CY Jones is an absolute must read, but I am really truly in love with this particular series. Tainted Throne is the second book in the series, with the FMC coming face to face with her main foe (Queen Hera), dealing with her harem relationships, and trying to play court games to stay alive. Kaiden still drives me crazy - enough to where I skimmed some of his parts because he is just such a jerk. I don't buy his momma's boy act for a second - he is up to something and is going to break our girl's heart. I can't wait to see what happens next, and truly hope Kaiden does something to redeem himself.

Tainted Throne is the second book in Winter's story. She makes her way to Elyeria and meets Queen Hera and she realizes she has to play their game and better in order to survive. There is a lot of action and we get some answers in this book, as well as some steamy hot sex scenes. CY Jones knows how to bring her characters and stories to life and this is no different. I can't wait to see what more of the journey she has in store for us.

Amazing
I absolutely love the second book of the series. It's amazing how the author brings all the characters together I recommend this book completely to anybody that likes a little bit of everything in their books there's places where you can laugh there's places where you can tear up there are places in the book where the fighting is awesome and it's not just this series this author has a great talent that I can't wait to see what else she writes.

Just like the first book in this series this book is a must read. There are devious actions and plots, steamy romance scenes, all kinds of supernatural beings, and prophecies that seem to be coming true whether winter wants them to or not. How can you trust anyone when everyone seems to have an agenda? I love this book and highly recommend it.

Anything written by CY Jones is amazing... This starts off fantastically from the first book... Winter has left the human realm and is now on her way to the Veil.... There is a lot of action in here alot of hot steamy scenes CY Jones knows how to bring her characters to life and me personally can't wait to see what happens next

Great book.
Great addition to the series. I loved it. More new characters,some good some badass and some just straight up bi....s. I love the males in the harem even if a certain prince keeps betraying winter. I cant wait til the next one where I hope we find the last mate. I hope it’s whom I think it is. Another great series from a great author Cy Jones.

Winter’s has arrived!
Winter continues to grow into the powerhouse that she is all while gracefully handling the evil queen and wishwashy love interests. I can’t wait to see how she handles the next phases of evil that is coming for her. Tainted Throne was a great second installment to series.

Tainted Throne was seriously an amazing book. Winter is a princess from one of the strongest bloodlines in history. There are those who want her dead to see her gone. And she must do anything and everything for her and the guys to survive. A definite must read.
October 10, 2019
Holy hell this book was so good . Kaiden is a complete jerk and I still don’t trust his mommas boy crap 🤦🏽♀️ but the rest of the men 😍 especially Tristan he’s absolutely the best . I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

Brilliant book, loving this series.
Winter is a powerful woman, taking no rubbish from anyone, she is a true queen. She is surrounded by people, those she trusts and those out to get her..
This really is a fantastic read. Could not put this down.

Yes! Everything about this book is a big fat yes. Winter is coming into herself in the most amazing way. I'm at the edge of my seat wondering who the sixth mate will be and if she can finally get the union between all of them. And Chaos and Kaiden? So bloody hot. Gods, I need more!
September 7, 2019
