Summary:
Bryn Aven is an outcast among the Kanin, the most powerful of the troll tribes.
Set apart by her heritage and her past, Bryn is a tracker who's determined to become a respected part of her world. She has just one goal: become a member of the elite King’s Guard to protect the royal family. She's not going to let anything stand in her way, not even a forbidden romance with her boss Ridley Dresden.
But all her plans for the future are put on hold when Konstantin– a fallen hero she once loved – begins kidnapping changelings. Bryn is sent in to help stop him, but will she lose her heart in the process?
My review:
I was thrilled when I found out Amanda Hocking was going to write another book series set in the Trylle world. If you didn't know, The Trylle Series was the reason why I'm now a bookworm. In that series I was actually torn. I wasn't a big fan of the love triangle because it was a little predictable who Wendy was going to end up with. However, I still loved that series because it made me get into reading.
Frostfire was satisfying and I was happy with how this new series started. I did have a good feeling about it before reading the book. I adored the new characters and the old ones like Finn Holmes and Ember Holmes who appeared in the previous series. The main character Bryn was a pretty tough character and that's what I loved about her. Although, like Finn, she took her job very seriously and wouldn't do anything to distract her from her job such as Love.
Unlike the last series, I actually wanted a love triangle. haha. Konstantin Black was very mysterious and I was really curious about his character. Even though he was the enemy, I felt like there was something good in him that the others didn't know. I think he was just blackmailed by someone who was much more superior than him.

"For you, I would lay down my life any day."
Ridley reminded me a little bit of Finn. Though, he's less mysterious. He's a little older than Bryn, but I felt like they were the same age. The romance in this book wasn't that big, like Switched (the first book in the Trylle Series). I didn't really mind because the story in general was interesting and a little bit of romance wasn't a problem for me.Unlike the last series, I actually wanted a love triangle. haha.
