Devil's Frost (The Spellspinners of Melas County #3)

Every young witch looks forward to her first Solstice Stones. The pride of representing her coven against the warlocks. The rush from her first taste of dark magic.

But a few short minutes into the Stones, and Lily’s lifelong dream turns into a nightmare of pain and regret. Betrayed not once, but twice, her restraint snaps—with dire consequences. 

Lily is wracked with guilt and on the run from the powerful Congression, when her broken confidence is further shattered by an ugly secret from the past. As her options dwindle, Lily is forced into a distasteful alliance.

Will she be able to find her way back to the light? Or will darkness consume her before dawn's new day?

I received a copy of Devils Frost courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher in exchange of a review.

Devil's Frost is the '3rd in the Spellspinners of Melas County, and starts off where the Gleaning leaves us. I don't envy Lily, and all the heavy crap she has to deal with! She finds out some disturbing info regarding her gift and family secrets, and is now on the run from the Congressional. Not only that, but she still needs answers to some seriously unexplained questions, one of them being the mystery Islands of the Seven Sisters. 

I really enjoyed this series so far, although I was thinking the Witches of Melas County was a trilogy. Heidi R. Kling has definitely captured and held my attention, I will certainly continue with the story that is next, but I just wish she would've combined at least two of the books. The Coliloquy usage is one of the funnest things I've experienced while reading a book, and I have to be honest, I went back to all the choices and read it each way. Kind of glad I did, because certain things were mentioned that I would've missed! I am eagerly awaiting the next installment.
