Followed by Frost
by Charlie N. HolmbergSeventeen-year-old Smitha's wealth, status, and beauty make her the envy of her town—until she rejects a strange man’s marriage proposal and disastrous consequences follow. Smitha becomes cursed, and frost begins to encompass everything she touches. Banished to the hills, hunted by villagers, and chilled to the very core of her soul, she finds companionship with Death, who longs to coax her into his isolated world. But Smitha's desire for life proves stronger than despair, and a new found purpose gives her hope. Will regrets over the past and an unexpected desire for a man she cannot touch be enough to warm Smitha’s heart, or will Death forever still it?
Lori's thoughts: Something about this book caught my attention. I didn't buy it right away, but kept coming back to it. I finally decided to take a chance on it and I'm very glad that I did.
This is my first read by Charlie, and I can promise it's definitely not my last.
I loved the storyline and the writing was superb. I didn't expect a love story, but got one anyway. The romance was a slow building love between two unlikely characters.
Wonderful book!
