Goodreads Synopsis: Bryn Aven is an outcast among the Kanin, the most powerful of the troll tribes.
Set apart by her heritage and her past, Bryn is a tracker who's determined to become a respected part of her world. She has just one goal: become a member of the elite King’s Guard to protect the royal family. She's not going to let anything stand in her way, not even a forbidden romance with her boss Ridley Dresden.
But all her plans for the future are put on hold when Konstantin– a fallen hero she once loved – begins kidnapping changelings. Bryn is sent in to help stop him, but will she lose her heart in the process?

Commentary
Sydney: So in all honesty I hadn’t even heard of this book coming out until Tia and Anna told me about it. But after doing some research, I found out that Frostfire is the first book in a new spin-off series. I never read the Trylle trilogy, but based on what Anna and Tia say about it, I can tell its really good, which means this one is gonna be good too! The only reason why I’m not too excited about this is because I never read the Trylle trilogy, which means this is a whole new story and world for me. But I’m sure that once I read the trilogy, I will be just as excited to pick this book up as well!
Anna: I read the entire Trylle trilogy in 2014 and absolutely adored it. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book. I don’t remember Bryn from the Trylle trilogy, but I’m just excited to get book into the world. This spin-off series sounds so amazing. The plot of this book sounds so different than the Trylle books and I’m so excited to read about this forbidden love triangle thing. I can’t wait to see what Amanda Hocking has in store for us in this book!
Tia: I've read the Trylle trilogy more times than I can count. I don't remember when I actually read it the first time, but I fell in love with it! And when I found out about this spin off series I just knew I had to get my hands on it. Like Anna, I don't remember a Bryn from the trilogy, but I'm excited to learn more about the Kainin Trylle tribe! Amanda Hocking didn't disappoint me with the Trylle trilogy so I can't wait to see what she has in store for this one :D
Jaclyn: Similar to Sydney, I had never heard of this book until recently from Anna & Tia. I’ve also never read the Trylle trilogy, so my excitement about this one was mixed. It’s hard to get psyched about a new story from a world I’m not familiar with, but after reading the synopsis I’m actually really excited to add this to my TBR! I’m a sucker for a good love triangle and a strong female character and it seems like Frostfire won’t disappoint. I’m definitely going to read the Trylle trilogy before I pick this one up after reading how much Anna & Tia loved it! I’m excited to see what this new world has in store for me :)
