Review: The Start to An Amazingly Good Series
Rating: 5 out of 5

When this series opens you are already in the middle of a life and death situation, a continuing theme as this series moves forward.Each book has a new couple which adds to the enjoyment while the setting and the readers familiarity with the couples goes from people you feel like you know in Hint of Frost and Feast of Souls to a heroine that is brand new and a hero that is barely known to us in Cast of Shadows and the upcoming A Time of Dying (July 2013 release date).The background story that threads through the romances that occur in each book is that of a strange plague that has been spreading over the Araneae nations and the reasons behind it that become more clear slowly in each novel (except the novella which is more romance and character driven).The series starts in Hint of Frost with the romance of Rhys and Lourdes which is brought about by the need for Lourdes to save her clan which has been betrayed and her only salvation is Isolde, leader of a rival clan known for its fierce warriors and barbaric customs who demands that Lourdes wed her son Rhys as the price for her protection of Lourdes clan .... A price she will gladly pay for the survival of her clan.There are unexpected benefits to being linked to Rhys that she discovers along the way to rescuing her sister who was kidnapped at the time of the betrayal of her clan.
