Ophelia longs to be free, free of Diabetes, free to attend the college of her choice, free of her monstrous ex-boyfriend.
Gaining that freedom comes at a terrible cost, for Alaska isn't called 'the last great place to hide' for nothing. Other than human renegades, an array of creatures hide among the blinding white snow. Bear-shifters. Vampires.
Elves of the Borean Realm.
Adrian's the new guy in school. He faked his identity to get close to Ophelia, knowing the same monsters who took his sister would try to take her too. He knows better than to get too close, but he has no idea her exceptional senses make that effort futile.
Or that only she possesses the power needed to defeat the Newbloods and save her species from extinction.
What is happening to Ophelia?
Newblood and the Ice Princess by Kimber Li is an exciting story about one of the identical twins with diabetes finding out her whole world has changed before she turns seventeen. We follow Ophelia through this new development in her life. At least she did get what she wants, but probably not in the way she wanted it.
What I liked
- Ophelia is a Star Trek and Star Wars fan. I love seeing this as it is uncommon for heroines.
- Bianca, the other twin, is a force to be reckoned with and she makes all of their clothes. How cool is that?
- Ophelia finding out about her powers and what they are.
- Her love for animals.
- Ophelia finding out who her secret admirer is.
What I disliked
I didn’t like how Ophelia wasn’t listening to what was going on around her. Another thing that I didn’t like was that her family didn’t move them fast enough away from their home. The last thing that I didn’t like was what happened to Adrian and Brandon. I don’t want to ruin too much for you, but there were some things that I was having trouble with, but they were fixed once I changed the size of my device, and I have a problem with how the author finished it up for some of the characters.
Four Stars
I am giving Newblood and the Ice Princess by Kimber Li a four-star review and recommending it to all young adult paranormal romance lovers out there that like a different take on the tale of vampires. It also involves elves, shapeshifters, and of course humans. Get your copy today to see if you like this new version of vampires and paranormal love story.

About Kimber Li
Kimber Li bandaged her fingers and pounded out her first novel on a manual typewriter when she was eleven years old. In the years which followed, she decided she wanted a large family of her own. When the time came, she moved to Alaska to find someone tough enough for the job of building it with her. Pregnancy hormones kicked her imagination into overdrive and she began to pursue publication. Although she achieved ePublication years ago with three Young Adult stories and one Sweet Romance, she discovered Indie Pub was a lot more fun for her and never looked back. She now makes her home in the Pacific Northwest with her husband of multiple decades, four children who are now taller than her and want a puppy, two spoiled rotten cats, and a bunch of chickens who are nothing but freeloading slackers.
