Review: Frostbitten by Heather Beck

Title : Frostbitten by Heather Beck
Publish date : June 23rd, 2014
Publisher : Enchanted Publishing
Genre : Paranormal

Great beauty hides dark secrets...


Seventeen-year-old Anastasia Lockhart has never led an easy life, but when she starts getting into serious trouble, she’s sent to live with her grandparents in Cedar Falls. The small, picturesque town hasn’t changed since she visited four years ago, with one exception – the presence of a handsome, mysterious boy named Frost. Despite warnings from her grandparents and friends to stay away from Frost, Anastasia can’t deny their attraction, and the more time they spend together, the deeper in love they fall. Unfortunately, Frost has a secret that is beyond Anastasia’s wildest imagination, and she soon finds herself in the midst of a supernatural legend that has haunted Cedar Falls for years. 
Can Anastasia and Frost’s love really overcome anything, or are their fates much darker?



Frostbitten by Heather Beck was offered to me by the author in exchange for an honest review and I have to thank her for that. When I read the description of the book, I knew I had to read it.

Anastasia Lockhart is a young woman who was send to her grandparent because she was getting into trouble again and her mother couldn’t deal with it. But trouble is following her around at her new school and her grandfather has a hard time believing her innocence.
The only person who seems to believe her is the handsome young man named Frost and he isn’t her grandparent's favorite boy in town.

Frost is a young man who has the word “trouble” written all over him, but that doesn’t stop Anastasia. She is drawn to him like a magnet and he cannot understand his attraction between them. But Frost has a secret and he isn’t sure he want to share this with Anastasia, because it could mean loose her forever.

I love Anastasia determination, the moment Frost tells her his secret and it appears he has to run for his life. She drops everything and comes along with him, no matter what. Her loyalty to Frost is adorable and totally understandable.

Although I thought the book was kind of slow in the beginning, it seems to get better and better by the chapter and before I knew it I was drawn in the story and I had to see how it got along. I was glad to see a happy ending, but I hope Anastasia and Frost will get another book because I have the feeling they aren’t done yet.

Heather Beck - Whispers in the Shadows

Title : Whispers in the Shadows
Series : Legends Unleashed # 5-9
Release date : January 1, 2012
Publisher : Diamond Dust Book
Genre : Paranormal Romance / Fantasy

Fall in love, if you dare…


Inside these pages are jilted ghosts who seek revenge, a sexy tour guide with deadly secrets, cunning mermen who emerge from the ocean, a magical forest where love truly can last for eternity, and a new breed of men who are too good to be true.

Filled with chills, twists and boundless passion, Whispers In The Shadows explores the beauty of love along with its darker side.

Whispers in the Shadows by Heather Beck is a book that contains five short stories that are part of the Legends Unleashed Series. Ms. Beck is a new author to me and when she asked me for an honest review and read the book description I had to read the book.

In “Where feelings go to die”, Ashleigh is at Black Heart Lake to write a story for the small regional magazine she is working for, but also to be far away from her ex-boyfriend Drake. Never could she imagine being part of an old legend that includes three ghosts.

In “Hot Egyptian Nights”, Hailey meets Zade during her tour in Egypt, from the first moment she is attracted to this stranger. But her journey takes an awful turning when she receives a pendant and a mystery card.

In “Rival to Survival”, Scarlet meets her boyfriend Harv when she is still in a relationship with Trevor. She likes Trevor but cannot ignore her attraction towards Harv, but Harv has a secret and isn’t sure she can handle it. But Scarlett is determined to stay with Harv, even if that means return with him to the Dark Forest and face his secrets.

In “The Truth about Fairy Tales”, Destiny and Lila are tired dating the wrong men, so they decide to give this “Find Your Prince Charming” a change. Never in a million years could they expect that Philip and Christopher could their prince charming....it’s almost too good to be true...

In “Lure of the Merman”, Bree is drawn to the sea on her jogging trip and when a storm appears, she tries to shelter against a rock, but falls into quicksand. Then she hears a men’s voice in her head and believe he’s trying to help her, but before she knows it Sandy guides her into the sea. The question is...has he saved her or doomed her to a life in the sea?

All the stories are well written with fabulous characters, great world building and a storyline to be drawn into. I definitely recommend this book to readers who love to read a collection of short stories with some amazing paranormal creatures that you will fall in love with.

I have to say that some of the stories are a little strange, but definitely enjoyable. Sometimes I wanted the story to be a little longer just to enjoy the great characters. I’m definitely going to check out some of Ms. Beck’s other books.
