All the supernatural creatures come to play in Mercy's latest crisis! 
 Patricia Briggs is one of my favorite authors. I would seriously read anything this lady writes even if it were a grocery list! Now here is the rub though...what happens when you love an author's work this much? Don't get me wrong, Frost Burned was great, but I just didn't roll around on the ground Squeeing with love for it like I usually do with all of her other books. 
 It had almost everything! * SPOILERS * Crazy midnight shopping, Car accidents, domestic violence, kidnapping, murder, magic mirrors, assassins, ghosts, love and all that jazz. So what the heck was missing for me? - I think it was more interactions between characters on a personal level. I felt like I picked up the book to start reading and then POOF it was finished. Haha - that's a good thing really, indicating I couldn't put the book down. 
 Many of the characters we know are here but I didn't feel that SPARK of personality and connection with them that I usually do. My example would be one of Bran's werewolves that comes to help out. Usually the weight of his personality is a heavy presence with a spark of mischief but here I barely noticed any of what I feel identifies him as an individual. Granted what with all the action going on in Frost Burned I can understand. The action ran almost literally from one scene to the next. And we LOVE action! *snickers* 
 Now, Frost Burned is definitely a great addition to the ongoing story of Mercy. It brings back up the issues of what is going on with the supernaturals coming out of the closet to human society. Things are coming to a major head with the "Us vs Them" mentality many of the humans have taken. I know something big must be brewing soon and this installment really helps slam that home. 
 I do have to say the book description had me thinking that the bulk of the book would involve the vampires working with Mercy, but there is a twist here that I didn't expect. Briggs always manages to keep me guessing and leaving me wanting more.
