REVIEW:

Black Ice Heart is an amazing story where the past collides with the present. Awesomely thought out plot!

In a dark, cold, freezing alley Ryson Melford finds a man, Jack, who’s hurt and hypothermic.
He doesn’t want any police or hospital involved. Ryson takes him home.

Jack can’t believe karma is such a cruel b*tch, how on earth is it possible he ends up with a family he knows from way, waaaay back.

Winter was kept in chains by Mother, he’s a slave, tortured, abused, burned for so long he forgot counting the years, the decades.

The Milford family lives here for over two hundred years, they were rich and infamous. Ryson wants to live a different life, he’s a kind soul who takes care of Jack. He doesn’t know Jack is connected with the family. Jack is weighed down by guilt, by a secret.
The Milord family noticed several different things about Jack, he’s special just as they are.
Jack disappears and the Milord family dives into their family history.

When Jack falls at his door again, more dead than alive, Ryson, his family, and others who are there to help, combine their magic to stop Mother.

A wonderfully written, hugely intriguing narrative. It’s told from different points, some in the third and some in the first person. It’s different and a bit confusing.
Between all the action and cruelty there is a romance blooming, Jack and Ryson are sugar-sweet with each other.
The further the story comes more characters are added, it’s getting crowdy. I was glad the author didn’t dump all information and characters at the start of this story, it would have been too much. It’s nicely proportionate and given throughout the story.
The author was amazingly creative building a world full of different kinds of magic and different magical creatures. The story is darker than I expected, the cruelty more horrible, with other words it was awesome!!
