Blah blah.Īfter my second read, I can now even more definitely say: that’s bullshit. But a lot has been said by the Iced defenders about how the book was misunderstood, and that those of us who were concerned about it being inappropriate were just misreading the intent of the characters and projecting our own sexual innuendo into otherwise non-sexual situations. The elephant in the room is the switch in this book to a young (14 year old) protagonist in a series with decidedly mature sexual content. And although my general feeling going into Iced was that this and the follow-up Burned were the weakest among them, I was actually a little cautiously optimistic that I might enjoy them more this time.Ī big part of that comes from how in the years since my first read, I’ve read a lot of comments and opinions, both from the author herself and from fellow fans, that were very defensive of this book and of the material in it. But this summer, I wanted to revisit all of the Fever books, having been a big fan of the initial run of 5 in the series. Re-Read – August 2019: I first read and reviewed this 6 years ago and didn’t really enjoy it.
