After years of running, Quinn has finally found a town to settle down in while she searches for the man who tore her life apart. Despite her every intention not to, she's started to put down some roots and make friends. However, the small bit of solace she's found is quickly shattered when a group of vampires walk into the bar where she works and turn her life upside down.

Looking only to stop for a few nights and have a good time, Julian never expected to stumble across someone like Quinn. Determined to keep her free from the vampires looking to use her as a weapon, Julian is stunned to discover himself starting to care for the mysterious woman with a dark past she's unwilling to reveal.

Loved it!!!

I fell in love with Julian on the first series of kindered. This spin off talks about Julian 2 years later and what awaits him. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to read the next installment ASAP... narrator does a fantastic job and at a great pace. Worth it!

Not your everyday vampires

This is a great fast paced story. It really took me on a ride and I didn’t know what was going to happen next. The characters were multi level and the author had me hoping for the best for them.
I did listen to this on audio and Meghan Kelly did a wonderful job. She really helped draw me into the story with her different voices.

Exciting

I really enjoyed this. The premise is really interesting. Quinn is sassy and doesn't let anyone walk all over her. She has virtually impenetrable walls up around her. I like Julian, he has a deeper side than I expected.

This is a spin-off series but you don't need to have read the original to follow the story. For a while I did feel I was missing something but by the end I felt I had all the answers I needed.

I always love Meghan Kelly's narration and this was no different. Her voice was perfect for the characters and she distinguishes between them well.

YAY!!!

Oh my god I've been waiting so long for this to come to audio!!!! I have the whole series in paper and on my phone I love it I can read it over and over again thank you so much hope to see the other 2 on here soon

Exciting!

This story was a very powerful tale of vampires, monsters and ordinary people. It had emotions written all over it. Meghan Kelly is a talented narrator and she does the voices so well, I can picture the characters perfectly in my mind. I can’t wait to listen to book 2.

Loved it!

I had waited for the audiobook release of Frost Burn for a couple of years. It was definitely worth the wait, I wasn't one bit disappointed. The writing was great with fascinating characters and an engaging plot that had it all, action, romance, mystery, prophecy, etc. — I relished every minute of it.

Stevens has written a riveting and suspenseful vampire romance, that captivates the reader/listeners within the first paragraph. The supernatural world and its culture are unique, and the vampires each have extraordinary abilities. I loved the main characters, Quinn and Julian. From the moment they lay eyes on each other, the attraction was there, but not insta-love. Their trust and feelings are built gradually and in working progress.

Meghan Kelly's performance was wonderful. She did an excellent job of voicing both male and female characters. Overall, Frost Burn was amazing, and I can't wait for the second book in the Fire & Ice Series.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Loved it! Awesome!

Loved this! Really excited to see where the series goes! Cool premise and loved all the characters. I do wish I would’ve read the series this series is a spin-off of, but I still really enjoyed this without doing that first. Julian is a vampire that has a crew that is searching out rogue vamps or something like that. They stop at a bar and he sees Quinn. She’s a vamp too, but there’s also some mysterious things in her past that make her a target for some big baddies. Quinn is a bit prickly and has her walls up, but after being attacked and helped by Julian, she agrees for the continued help Julian offers. Loved the action and the suspense! There’s also something shady going on Quinn’s town that is causing some major problems. I liked Quinn’s sass and her backstory. I liked how supportive Julian was for Quinn. He’s the charmer and the flirt; I did get a bit tired of all the ladies falling over themselves for him, but he has a deeper side that he hides beneath the surface. The romance is a slow burn, enemies to lovers type thing, and I really loved the connection between Quinn and Julian. The author did a great job with the pace of the story, and created a story that has drawn me in. Excited for the next!!

The narrator did a good job on the audio, and she fit the characters. I’d recommend listening.

My Two Pennies

Meghan Kelly is incredible when it comes to the narration for this story. The passion and emotions poured into these characters are not only felt though the words but also heard throughout the book and each individual person stands strong with their own voice. I have read reviews that said this is a spinoff from the Kindred Series which I have not read yet but I definitely want to look into now that I’ve been introduced to Quinn and Julian. I was taken on an exciting adventure in this PNR story and was not lost in the slightest starting off with Frost Burn as my first book. This story is filled with non stop action and adventure that has a strong storyline and will keep you on your toes throughout. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series and learn more about all of these characters.

I loved this book and narrator

I wish they had not changed narrators for the 2nd book. I would also like it if Audible would add the 3rd book to this series, " Scorched Ice" , to the collection. The book is available, it has not been added to audible yet though. The good thing is that the 2nd book ended on a good note without a bad cliff hanger.

The narrator is annoying!!!

I feel like I need to keep clearing my throat because of the way this narrator sounds. It is extremely annoying and frustrating.
She also sounds a bit robotic.
I am so glad the narrator is different in the next book.
Not sure how I feel about the story as of yet.
