"Charlie is a vibrant writer with an excellent voice and great world building." --Brandon Sanderson, author of Mistborn and The Way of Kings Seventeen-year-old Smitha's wealth, status, and beauty make her the envy of her town--until she rejects a strange man's marriage proposal and disastrous consequences follow. Smitha becomes cursed, and frost begins to encompass everything she touches. Banished to the hills, hunted by villagers, and chilled to the very core of her soul, she finds companionship with Death, who longs to coax her into his isolated world. But Smitha's desire for life proves stronger than despair, and a newfound purpose gives her hope. Will regrets over the past and an unexpected desire for a man she cannot touch be enough to warm Smitha's heart, or will Death forever still it?

I finished this book in a day and a half. I just couldn't put it down! The premise was SO cool and I am so sad that it wasn't continued! Maybe not following the same characters but the whole world itself was incredibly intriguing. I wouldn't even mind another book–maybe Mordan shows his face again?
Anyway, this book is like the extended version of the fairy tales read to us as children. A selfish, vain character gets her comeuppance and learns her lessons, finding herself and the value of life in the process. This makes it sound so basic, but it is anything but! I loved the characters and the addition of a little romance totally surprised me. Please, Charlie, please make another one in this series!
