Even the coldest hearts can burn . . .

After closing a big case for the Vampire Court, mage private investigator Alice Worth is relieved to be back solving magical mysteries with her ghost sidekick Malcolm and spending quality time with sexy alpha werewolf Sean. Her latest case puts her on the trail of a burglary ring targeting wealthy collectors of magical objects. Meanwhile, Alice's grandfather, crime lord Moses Murphy, fights a local boss for control of the city. Soon a new danger emerges: Moses's new lieutenant is someone Alice knows and this is one family reunion she wants to avoid at all costs.

When Sean is injured as a result of her investigation, Alice faces the wrath of his pack and finds herself in a carefully laid trap. To save the city from Moses and his lieutenant, she risks capture by her grandfather and unimaginable torture at his hands. To save Sean, she risks losing everything she's fought so hard to gain. But Alice has never backed down from anything in her life and she's not about to start now . . .

"I had so many people around me wondering if you were strong enough to be my partner that I didn’t think to ask if I was strong enough to be yours. It’s me who needs to be stronger, not you. I’ve always told myself that I wanted a partner and a mate who would stand beside me and who would fight with and for my pack, but I don’t think I ever really understood what that meant until now. [...] You are exactly what I’d wished and waited for, and I almost blew it because I didn’t know how to deal with your power, your courage, and your need to protect others. You face your enemies as though you were the alpha of a pack. You are fierce and you’ll fight until you have nothing left. [...] The minute I figured out that I had to stop trying to force you to be someone else, the answers fell into place."Ok I know that quote is kind of long but I was just blown away at the end of this book, and I would like to congratulate Lisa Edmonds for being literally the only author that I can think of to write an urban fantasy with a werewolf love interest that I actually like! I'll admit it was a little bit rocky in the first few books, but I think Sean and Alice have both grown a lot since then [this book was GREAT for their individual character development and the development of their relationship] and it's great to see them in a place where they respect each other. Seriously, A+ for having your ~dominant alpha male~ character examine his behavior and admit that a lot of it is unreasonable and he's working on it [and also that Alice has a few things to work on as well, it's nice to see them meet in the middle].The rest of the book was great as well. Definitely a lot happened here regarding Alice's backstory and I'm excited to see where that is going to go next. Also I just really love the focus on like ...free will and consent in this particular story line. It's sad how refreshing that is in the urban fantasy market today but it is unfortunately true. Overall just a really fun series with a very interesting magic system and three-dimensional characters and relationships. Can't wait to see what happens next!

I was provided with this book in exchange for an honest review.Heart of Ice is the 3rd book in the Alice Worth series. The latest book has Alice investigating a series of burglaries targeting wealthy collectors of magical objects. Along for the ride again are Malcolm, her friendly ghost friend and Sean, her werewolf boyfriend. Each book I feel Like I get to know Alice more and more. She's letting down those barriers and I am enjoying getting to know the intricacies in her character. The plot carries well, there's action but also time for retrospection which I enjoyed too. Each book just pulls me in deeper into Alice's world and I love the paranormal aspects - the Vampire council, werewolf packs, world's lore, Alice's family drama's. I really enjoy Lisa Edmond's writing style and will continue to read this series. Can't wait for the next book.

The Alice Worth series has quickly become one of my must read series. The characters really shine in this series. Alice gets more and more likable with each book. She is still a little closed off, but she has really grown from the loner of book one. I really enjoy learning about her past and watching her slide into a future with friends and allies at her side. Malcolm has really grown into an essential character. I have a feeling there is a lot more to his involvement with Alice, but he has grown on my heart, so I hope it doesn't turn out to be bad. There is a nice amount of romance for an urban fantasy series. I sometimes think there might be a love triangle, but Sean continuously proves he's the one for Alice. He has his moments where I might want to smack him, but him and Alice work really well together. Charles really wants something to happen with Alice and I do get the vibes between them, but something major would have to happen to make me feel like they would be good together.I continue to love this series and it's characters. With each book comes more answers, but there is still so much for us to learn about the world and its characters. I really enjoy Lisa's writing style and the progression of the overall story line. I'm looking forward to book four.* This book was provided free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
