The Darkest Frost (The Complete Serial, Volumes 1 & 2) Paperback – January 1, 2016

4.6 out of 5 stars 24 ratings

VOLUME 1
When the ghost of her best friend begs for her help, psychic detective Denieve Knight goes undercover as a live-in domestic to catch a killer. She sets her sights on the most likely suspect: her friend’s mysterious employer, Doctor Braeden Frost.

Dubbed "Dr. Death" by the press, the notorious hematologist is linked to nineteen other suspicious fatalities—all are former patients. The brooding recluse is a man of many secrets, the darkest of which may be lurking beneath the leather gloves he never removes.

VOLUME 2
The job seems simple enough at first: go undercover and catch her best friend’s killer. But psychic detective Denieve Knight gets more than she bargained for when she enters Dr. Braeden Frost’s estate as a “housekeeper.”

She's supposed to be sleuthing, not falling under the spell of the enigmatic doctor and his irrepressible, hellion of a brother, Xavier.

Now after two months of working for the man known as “Dr. Death,” she's entangled in a web of secrets and lies. Each discovery only leads to more questions. Though faced with declining health and a storm of confusing feelings and simmering passion for both brothers, Denieve is determined to uncover the truth---consequences be damned. Yet the truth may prove deadly once she discovers just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

    This is a gripping story with a lot of twists and turns. The writing is engaging and the storyline is unique. I enjoyed the ride but I have to say there were a few times when the heroine drove me batsh#t crazy. But this book is definitely worth the money and the time.

    5 Amazing, Fabulous Stars!!!!

    Volume One:

    I don't give 5 stars easily. This story and the characters got under my skin and lived and breathed. It took me 4 days to read this book. 4 days to let it simmer. 4 days to savor every word. I have read nearly 50 books this year and only one other earned 5 stars from me. Thank you Tanya Holmes for your awesome words and sharing your amazing gift.

    This is a tough book to review without giving away integral parts of the story so I am going to refrain from any sort of overview.

    I do however have a few thoughts to note.

    This is a paranormal but in a more unusual sense than I am used to reading. There are no vampires or werewolves, fairies or the like. It is unique and original!

    The book ends in a cliffhanger. I HATE cliffhangers! So reading The Darkest Frost, knowing it was a going to end with a cliffhanger, was a huge leap of faith and trust for me. I am so happy I took that leap. Yes, I still have a millions questions. Yes, I am impatient to continue the story but I am actually OK with letting this story simmer awhile longer. It ended just where it needed too. I had no late night urge to hunt down the author with my freshly sharpened pitchfork. ;)

    There is definitely a steam factor to this read. It's not overloaded but it's there and it's hot! Ms. Holmes can definitely turn up the heat!

    The Darkest Frost really resonated with me and I hope it does the same for the rest of you!!! There is something deeper going on within this book that is more than mere words on a page.

    This book is still very much with me. I suspect it will be for a long while. I am in reader Heaven!

    Volume Two:
    THIS!!! THIS!!! THIS!!!

    This is how a story should be written!

    This is how characters should be portrayed!

    This is how a plot should play out!

    It’s such a rarity that I find a book that speaks directly to my heart and my soul. I’ve been reading since I could hold up a book in my hands. Along the way, I’ve encountered the so-so, the good and even the great but I can count on one hand how often I’ve read a book that got me so perfectly! My connection to this story and these characters is visceral. I honestly can’t point out one flaw or one single thing I would change.

    If Gothic or Paranormal romance is not your usual genre, don’t automatically disregard this book. You won’t find any of the usual paranormal creatures or things that go bump in the night. What you will find is spot on characters, a well-paced plot with twists and turns that keep you guessing and an amazing read that is so well written and unique it transcends genres.

    I have pages of notes and highlighted passages most of which I won’t share here because to do so would jeopardize the experience for other readers. This series is best read completely blind, letting the story of Denieve, Braeden and Xavier take you to places you never thought you’d go and never saw coming.

    One point I’d like to make is, though there are two Heroes and one Heroine, there is no ménage, no cheating, and no love triangle. “It’s Complicated!” is a phrase that perfectly describes the relationship status of the three main characters! How it plays out is mind blowing!

    The Darkest Frost Vol. 2 has a wonderful mix of fun, angst and drama. I laughed so much I had a perma-grin for much of the book, the tension had my heart pounding and the tender moments had tears streaming down my face. Oh, and the sexy scenes had me begging for more. I swear, Ms. Holmes wrote this book with me in mind. She met and exceeded my every expectation and need. I am truly in awe of this woman’s talent!

    This book is my perfection! Will it be yours’s?

    he Darkest Frost Vol. 1 by Tanya Holmes has instantly become one of my favorite reads this year.
    The story is compelling, mind blowing, and inviting. Not to mention that it has a dash of just the right amount of sexy tension between the characters that will have you begging for more.

    As soon as I began my journey into this book I never wanted to put it down. It pulled you in and kept your interested piqued. I continued on reading because I just had to know how it was all going to end and who this mysterious Dr. Frost really was.

    Denieve is a wonderful character that you find yourself really enjoying. She is so sweet and witty and I loved that no matter how cold Braeden got she still fought to get within his walls. I thought she was such a humble and beautiful girl because even though it was dangerous she wanted to find the truth. I love her connection to Braeden and how her gift helped her to see who he truly was deep down.

    What can I say about Braeden Frost except that I absolutely LOVE HIM! As soon as I was introduced to his character I couldn’t help but love him and want him to find someone to love him, ALL of him. His character is so mysterious and dark, yet you find yourself still clinging to hope for him. He was just so brilliant; I adored his character that much. Definitely a new book boyfriend everyone should meet. I highly recommend you discover his every secret.

    Between Denieve & Braeden’s Chemistry, all of the secrets hidden by both of them, and Braeden’s Twin Brother you can count on a crazy roller coaster of a ride that you never want to end. When I realized I was at the end I was just so lost. I honestly can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series.

    I highly anticipated The Darkest Frost Volume 2 by Tanya Holmes since I finished book one and let me tell you every expectation was met and then some. I was absolutely blown away and left with a big smile in my heart.

    In The Darkest Frost Volume 1 it was an instant love for Braden Frost and that love only grew in Volume 2. The only thing was that in Volume 2 I found myself slowly and surely falling deeply in love with Xavier Frost as well. I couldn’t believe how Tanya turned all that around on me and made me fall for the other character as well. It was like you could finally see into Xavier’s soul and what an amazing soul it was. You are going to love the dynamics these characters bring to the book, it’s beyond remarkable.

    As soon as I began the story it began right where Volume 1 left off and I found myself on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. That’s what I loved most about this book, there were so many different twists and turns and you never saw anything that was coming. My heart went out to Denieve with everything she had to learn about the men in her life, but I saluted her for her patience and the love that bonded them all together. You will truly enjoy the journey they all go on together and by the end of the story you will still be putting the pieces of the puzzle together and when they are finally connected you will be speechless. That’s what I was; left speechless and loving the story so much that it’s definitely a number one favorite as of now. This series is a definite must for anyone that enjoys a good love story, paranormal stories, and anyone that loves a good steamy romance that you won’t see coming.

    I give The Darkest Frost The Complete Serial Vol 1 & 2 FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS!!
