Blog Tour: Freeze (Midnight Ice #2) by Kaitlyn Davis

Book Blurb:

Locked up doesn't mean locked in.

Pandora Scott is in jail…again. Everyone she once loved betrayed her…again. And some of the most powerful people in the world want her dead…yes, again. Sound familiar? But if there’s one thing Pandora is good at, it’s wriggling her way out of life or death situations, and this time is no different. Armed with her ability to disappear and aided by the mysterious Sam, Pandora’s got a plan. Escape the most secure prison in the world. Evade the most powerful trackers on the planet. Forget every word that Jax has ever told her. And figure out how to change one teeny tiny thing—fate. Easy, right? Well…doable, at least.

Freeze is the second book in the thrilling Midnight Ice series--the brand new spinoff to Midnight Fire, a bestselling paranormal romance with over 200,000 copies sold and over 5000 5-star reviews on Goodreads!

My Review:

4 Out Of 5 Stars

Genre: Mystery, Supernatural, Suspense, Vampires, Werewolves, Witches--

Book 2 picks up right after book 1 ends, with Pandora being betrayed by the boy she loved, ending with her locked up in the most secure of Titan prisons. She has no idea what they intend to do to her, who she can trust, or really what she is. But instead of rolling over so the Titans can use her, she is going to use any skill she can to get herself out of the prison, because freedom is the most important thing to fight for.

Just a warning, this is not a standalone book, but the second in a series with an ongoing plot so I highly recommend they be read in order. Maybe it is because I am already familiar with the world or the characters, but I was instantly sucked into the story. Book one was interesting and I wanted to know more, but this book I did not put down until I was finished. They say that the second book in a series never lives up to book 1, but this one blew book one away. The plot was full of action, supernatural intrigue and some big bombshells of truth I never saw coming.

Pandora is the main character and this series is about her struggles, her self-discover, her prophecy, but there are so many other complicated side characters that helped to create this world. I love Sam, regardless of who or what he is, his sadness and love bleed through the pages and I can see that he wants Pandora to succeed and to be all that she can (even if that means darkness and scary... maybe I should rethink my Sam love, hmm). I just wanted them to have a moment (1000 years in the making) but I think that is just a wish that may never be, and probably shouldn't be honestly (I want to say more but I will resist for fear of spoilers!). Jax makes me angry, and I hate characters who do the wrong thing because of orders- and sure redemption may be possible, but I will never really be able to love him (but I guess we will see if Pandora can...). I thought Naya was a really interesting character with some very serious mad skills so I would love to see more/learn more about her, maybe even get a spin off (hint, hint...)

​This was a great follow up that ended with so many more questions that I need answers to, and the world building is much more complicated now. It was also nice seeing some characters from book one again, which reinforces ​​​that I need to read the ​Midnight Fire series so I can get some backstory on Kira and Luke. Overall I found this book to be a very quick engaging read and I can't wait to see how Pandora will cope with her choices and what will happen next.

I received this title in return for my honest review.

Kaitlyn's Favorite Quotes:

Ooh, I hate doing favorites. I find it so tough to narrow any topic down to a top ten or top five when there are so many amazing things in the world. But for you, I’ll try!

Here are my top five (non-spoilery) quotes from the first two books in my new series, Midnight Ice!

-Normally, Pandora preferred to steal for a good cause, more of a supernatural Robin Hood, some might say. Blonder of course, with a much better ass.

-"You look good enough to eat," a sultry voice whispered in her ear. Pandora whipped around lightning fast, flashing her fangs. "I bite." The man smiled, lips practically dripping with sin. "Me too."

-“It’s okay—“ Pandora was cut off by the crash of water against stone as the wave broke and shot toward them like a tsunami, defying gravity as it rolled up the ramp, racing closer. “Impossible odds and near-death experiences are my specialty.”

-One way or another, she’d steal the secrets hiding in his smile. She did, after all, have an uncanny knack for thieving.

-A thousand lifetimes ago, maybe she needed a man to define her. But she didn’t anymore. And that was just fine with her.

**And a bonus line, because I love this scene in FROST **

-"Don't mind me," he responded merrily, eyes closed. "I'm just warming up in the sun, getting my tan on, displaying my forbidden fruit…"

And here are my top five favorite quotes from other amazing young adult books!

[She] had always suffered from a vague restlessness, a longing for adventure that she told herself severely was the result of reading too many novels when she was a small child.

—Robin McKinley, The Blue Sword

Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. ‘After all this time?’ ‘Always,’ said Snape.

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.

—Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park

Don’t be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don’t have to live forever, you just have to live.

—Natalie Babbit, Tuck Everlasting

Hope? Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.

—Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke and Bone

Book Blurb:

Frost (Midnight Ice #1)

Even the hottest love can turn a girl cold-blooded…

Life's tough for a vampire thief on the run—just ask Pandora Scott, she knows. Four years ago she ran away from home after everyone she loved betrayed her. But now her annoyingly grown up (and handsome) ex boyfriend is stalking her, begging her to return. A mysterious vamp with a particularly dangerous (and sexy) stare keeps popping unexpectedly into her life. The extremely powerful head vampire of New York is hunting her down because she may or may not have broken into his highly-secure, highly-secretive personal vault. And the fate she's been trying to outrun? Well, it's about to catch up. Because even a super-speedy vamp with the ability to disappear can't escape her own destiny.
