Frost Line begins with the death of Elijah's mother at the hand of State Senator Robert Markham. Elijah runs to a neighbor's house and hides in a closet where he unwittingly stumbles upon a Tarot card deck. When he calls for help, he brings Lenna, who is Strength in the Tarot deck. Lenna is from another plane of existence where each Tarot card is represented by an actual being. Lenna wants to help Elijah, but knows she is only able to stay for five days in this world or see her own destroyed. Hunters come after Lenna including Caine, who is the most well-known and fiercest of the Hunters. When he can't convince Lenna to come back with him, he joins her quest to find the man who killed Elijah's mother and find him somewhere he can be safe.
This story has an interesting premise, but bringing the two worlds together really didn't allow for any of the characters in either world to be well developed. Lenna and Caine are fairly two-dimensional and the world building of their plane of existence leaves many holes and questions that remain unanswered. Overall, this was a quick read, but didn't really satisfy.
