Kudos to Riley Onyx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m going to try to do this without spoiling too much because Forbidden Frost has a lot of essential elements in its story that I think build the world and lore, and you should experience it in the book, not a review! So here goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the story of the rescue ship sent to save Rin; she watches it crash at the end of Succumb to the Storm. Leah is a medical technician on the team whose life is endangered when she nearly dies at the crash site. But what saves her, damns her and her savior, both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Eskar is our hero, and I have a big ol&#8217; book boyfriend crush on this Paohl alien. He&#8217;s all sorts of the tortured and sensitive warrior. The conflict in Forbidden Frost is incredibly well done, and I enjoyed it much more so than I did the crux in Succumb to the Storm. I liked the different route Riley Onyx took in this book with her characters and the natives. It made them seem a lot more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next story is about Ava and her Elemental Mate, and I can&#8217;t wait. I recommend this book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BR-ARC-IG-FF.png?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Forbidden Frost by Riley Onyx\" class=\"wp-image-10375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BR-ARC-IG-FF.png?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BR-ARC-IG-FF.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BR-ARC-IG-FF.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BR-ARC-IG-FF.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Forbidden Frost by Riley Onyx<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Riley Onyx:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where aliens rule the skies, and mates are captured and claimed is where Riley is happiest writing.
