Zero Hour (Stories of Frost and Fire) Kindle Edition

by Kimbra Swain (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 302 ratings

Boy Problems: check. Family problems: check. Burning things to the ground problems: double-check.

Wynonna Riggs, daughter of Gloriana the Queen of the Winter Fairies, searches for her place in her mother's kingdom. The problem-she is convinced that her purpose is outside the protective wards of Shady Grove. No one in her family seems to understand. Her "boyfriend" just wants to be her mate. The only two people who seem to get it is the local Vampirate and the Bad Boy she shouldn't be around.

Stories of Frost and Fire starts with an introduction to how Winnie sees the world and finding her place in it. Zero Hour is the prequel to the series.

    Zero Hour, the prequel for the series, Stories of Frost and Fire by Kimbra Swain, lays down the foundation of Winnie’s story. The readers meet Winnie in Swain’s series, Fairy Tales of the Trailer Park Queen. She is the adopted daughter of Grace. Even though most people have read the Trailer Park Series, Swain uses this novella to describe all the characters that fill Winnie’s life and sets up her future story.

    It is another entertaining tale set in the south, filled with the charismatic people, mostly fairies and werewolves. Winnie is now working and making adult choices, with her family’s blessings. Even though there are many of the same characters we have already met, there is a focus elsewhere that creates a fun ride.

    The book is filled with plenty of action and a lot of Swain’s trademark humor. I am glad that she decided to extend the world of the trailer park and gives us more to engage our imagination.

    This is an exciting, great novella that passes the reigns over from Grace to Winnie, as the Phoenix gets ready to tell her tale in a different land outside the world of Winter and Shady Grove.
    The novella is great, saying see ya later to most of our favorites from the trailer park, but also it was amazing because of everything that is to follow- and all the ‘kids’ well they ain’t kids no more!!
    It’s the perfect in between book to sit in the middle of Amazing Grace and First Flame.
    I loved Winnie’s perspective, her world and I can’t even begin to say how excited I am for First Flame.

    Zero Hour is a great prequel to get Winnie's story started. Winnie is growing up faster than you can blink, almost literally. She's trying to find her place in the world which is difficult considering she's one of a kind. She was a plain old human,, now she's a winter fairy and the only living Phoenix. If you haven't read Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen ( you should lol) Kimbra gives a tour of sorts through Shady Grove and it's cast of characters. Zero Hour is wonderful, Kimbra is a kick butt writer and I absolutely can not wait to see what's in store for Winnie!

    I love this start to Wiynonna's story. I can't wait to be able to read more to find out about her adventures and who she decides to spend her life with. After reading about her in the Trailer Park I feel like I know her as a child and can't wait to see how she does growing up so fast and being an adult now.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019
    I loved Grace's books. I liked Winnie in Grace's books. I wasn’t a fan of hers in this one. To me, she hasn’t matured at all. She needs a backbone and I hope she finds hers in the upcoming books. I felt like she whined almost the whole way through...wasn’t enjoyable...but that’s just my lowly opinion. I’ll definitely keep reading to see how she develops.

    As someone who has been around (via reading her moms series) as Winnie grew up and watching her become the young lady is now, im super psyched to see what awaits her in life. She is so unique with her mix of sass an brassiness. Not to mention the fact that I cant wait to see whats going on with this fairy black market business! On to book 1!!
