Book Review: Frost on My Pillow by Leah Hamrick

I've never delved to far into the paranormal genre, but I always enjoy a good romance.  In this book, I found both.  I've also been known to enjoy a young adult novel. I loved the Hunger Games series and Harry Potter, among others. 

In Frost on my Pillow, we meet seventeen year old Lyla. She lives in a world within a world, so to speak, hidden by magic within our own everyday world. One day, young Lyla has to run for her life, and she jumps through the curtain that keeps her society so well hidden from ours and finds herself suddenly thrust into a world that she knows absolutely nothing about.  

Knowing what she is (a fire-bringer) but being so terribly sheltered and innocent, she doesn't know where to turn and ends up meeting two young men that aren't what they seem.  Falling in love,  learning about sex and relationships, and taking on demons proves to take it's toll on the young group of friends, but they learn fast because they have to in order to survive. 

Leah Hamrick finds the perfect balance between the teenage voice and capturing the adult reader. I think that she does a splendid job of staying in character without leaning to far into the adult mind when it comes to the decisions that these teens have to make.  It's not an easy thing to do, and she did a great job. 

I think this is a young adult book written for adults, and it's a great read.  I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good paranormal romance, series, or the young adult genre.  

Five stars! I look forward to the next installment.
