This story is going to take you down a rabbit hole....

Ms. Day is going to send you on a trip of sorrow, grief and a love so strong it transcends the grips of grief that threatens to drag down the main characters.

This is the story of Garrett and Teagan.  Two lost souls that find comfort in one another.

There is a huge twist that is going to rock your world, you are soooo not gonna see it coming and when you do it's going to blow you away.

This is a fast moving story, at first I was a little hesitant about it.  But then when the story came to its moving conclusion, I totally saw the forest for the trees.  I saw the meaning behind the quickness and it really brought this story home for me.  I will definitely be re-reading this in the future with my eyes wide open.  Trust me when I say you will too!

I fell in love with Ms. Day's stories with the Crossfire series and seeing some characters make an appearance in this story was lovely to read.  Like a little reunion! 

Do yourself a favor and read this book with an open mind and and open heart, you won't be disappointed!

I honestly don't know where to start with this book. I'm kind of confused how I feel about it. On on hand, it was pretty brilliant. On the other, I found it lacking at times. I guess I'll begin with my first impressions of Butterfly in Frost.

*Sylvia Day is a beautiful writer. Her words pull me in immediately and won't let me go.

*Both Teagan and Garrett were complicated characters with complicated pasts. I wanted to know more the entire time I was reading. I liked that it was a fast-paced story, but it was almost too fast-paced. I felt like I was missing something, like time jumps. I couldn't get a handle on it.

*I liked the relationship Teagan and Garrett built, but I couldn't quite get a grasp on how quickly it moved. It was so instant attraction that it was off-putting. I didn't get how Teagan could be okay with how quickly Garrett became practically obsessed with her. It almost felt creepy.

*I loved the cameos of some of my favorite Sylvia Day characters.

*The greater Seattle area setting: When I first started reading this book, I was impressed by the detail Day gave the area Teagan's house is in. She beautifully described the Redondo area. It's this gorgeous little pier area with and across the street and up the hillside are some beautiful old (and some new) homes. It's a little gem on Puget Sound. I can say this because I grew up not 10 minutes from Redondo and I have spent many hours there.


All of these thoughts were churning in my head the entire time I was reading. Then, WHAM! Plot twist. I didn't see it coming and suddenly everything made sense to me. The story was over pretty quickly after that, and I was left feeling a little unsettled. I needed more of a wrap up or something.

Butterfly in Frost is the hotly aniticpated and exciting new release from author Sylvia Day. Now, I don't know about all of you, but I have been waiting and I mean waiting for some new deliciousness from this author. And I gotta tell you, I couldn't have been more excited to dive into Butterfly in Frost.

Butterfly in Frost is a quick, sexy and passionate read. The characters are intriguing and will suck you into their story right away. Teagan intrigued me and I wanted to know more. And when Garrett enters the picutre, all bets are off. Garrett challenges Teagan in ways that she is wholly unprepared for. He is everything she shouldn't want and he totally knocks her world off its axis. Even with all of that, there is just something about Garrett that calls to her. Their connection is deep and intense. Garrett's ghosts call to her, almost like a siren song. It is just too hopeless for Teagan to stay away...

Overall, I thought this book was a quick and enjoyable read. I really enjoyed getting to know Garrett and Teagan. I liked their chemistry and enjoyed seeing them go through the paces. I will say that while this book was a short read, I didn't really like the pacing of the story. I did feel like it dragged at times, and that might just be me. The only other issue I had was the ending. Now, don't get me wrong, the ending threw me for a total loop. I mean, I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING. I was totally shocked and surprised. However, I was quickly disappointed because there was like only 4% of the book left. I feel like while the story did come to end, there is still a lot that needs to be resolved. I have a ton of questions that I want answered and I have no clue if there will be another book or not!! I mean, the ending of this story took off at light speed and I am just dying/hoping that there will be more. I know I'm being totally vague here, but ugh! The only thing I can say is read it for yourself and let me know what you think.

Butterfly in Frost will take you emotions on a whirlwind adventure. This is a story that readers are either going to love or going to hate. For me, I thought it was a solid story, I just had a couple of issues with it. In the end, this story nailed the sexy factor and left me wanting more.

*I was provided an ARC copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review*
