Synopsis

The Ice Queen: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *
From the bestselling author of The Rules of Magic, a miraculous, enthralling tale of a woman who is struck by lightning, and finds her frozen heart is suddenly burning.
Be careful what you wish for. A woman who was touched by tragedy as a child now lives a quiet life, keeping other people at a cool distance. She even believes she wants it that way. Then one day she utters an idle wish and, while standing in her house, is struck by lightning. But instead of ending her life, this cataclysmic event sparks a strange and powerful new beginning.
She goes in search of Lazarus Jones, a fellow survivor who was struck dead, then simply got up and walked away. Perhaps this stranger who has seen death face to face can teach her to live without fear. When she finds him, he is her perfect opposite, a burning man whose breath can boil water and whose touch scorches. As an obsessive love affair begins between them, both hide their most dangerous secrets--what happened in the past that turned one to ice and the other to fire.
A magical story of passion, loss, and renewal, The Ice Queen is Alice Hoffman at her electrifying best.

When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Goodreads review by Will on May 26, 2021

The logic of fairy tales was that there was no logic: bad things happened to the innocent, children were set out in the woods by their parents, fear walked hand in hand with experience, a wish spoke aloud could make it so.I wept while reading the final chapter. Our first-person protagonist, in a......more

Wow! This is quite the book to make one feel. No, FEEL! So much raw emotion and passion! Like I'd need telling about obsessive love affairs... And not so obsessive ones. And the everafters. And the blame game. And everything else. Magical thinking at its best. Q: Wishes are brutal, unforgiving things.......more

Goodreads review by Karen on September 05, 2023

How does one easily describe this book? Supernatural? Magical Realism? Wishful thinking becomes real? Our main nameless narrator character as a child, was a loner. She is quiet and obsessed with Grimm’s fairy tales – specifically the darker ones. As an adult, she moves in with her brother in Florida......more

Goodreads review by Maria on August 27, 2016

I think we've all been asked a thousand times about our favorite books. I've always found it hard to answer and so I would mention my favorite authors instead. But then I found this book. I don't really know what happened... I think it was love at first sight. This is one of those books in which eve......more

Goodreads review by Rick on April 11, 2015
