Synopsis
First in a bold new contemporary fantasy series Introducing Tess Noncoir©-bestselling fantasy writer-turned-martial arts demon hunter

Tess Noncoir was a successful fantasy writer when her life took an unexpected turn. After falling ill with a strange and potentially deadly virus, she found herself being cared for at the hidden retreat of the Sisterhood of the Celestial Blade Warriors. The Sisters saved Tess's life...and then began training her in the martial arts they used to fight off the demons looking to invade this world.

With a new sidekick named Scrap, it is now up to Tess to fend off a ferocious hound who's on the loose, attacking Navaho children. But there are two mysterious men also on the hound's trail-one of whom seems convinced Tess is a Celestial Blade Warrior, and the other who seems to have romantic designs on her. Now Tess and Scrap must piece together the truth about this hound before the forces of darkness begin closing in on them and destroying the world.

I was very intrigued when I read summary for this book. The ideas are fresh and new, but I felt this book wasn't written well at all. First off, Frost uses two points of view: Tess, and then her Imp, Scrap. Instead of making it a more exciting read and giving incite to the Tess Noncoire world, it jumbles and slows down the story. Second, I didn't feel any connection with either Tess or Scrap; they read flat and boring. Third, the book left so many questions at the beginning and then didn't answer them fast enough to keep the reader's interest; it just left me confused. I'm thinking maybe the author should have done a couple of more revisions to get the story line in order. On a good note, the world she built was unique and the author does show promise. I loved the idea that the heroine was a fantasy fiction writer.
