Selene Harper awoke in Death Valley with no memory of who—or what—she is. Capable of reading thoughts with a single touch, she’s unnerved by her ability, until it warns her of imminent danger. When an alluring man comes to her aid, neutralizing the threat, Selene can’t read his mind…but the stranger’s touch sets off a series of events that finds Selene a captive of the mysterious Glacial Blood … Pack.
Shape-shifter Brayden Dillion, a deadly pack assassin, can only become a beta if he finds his mate. A miracle that seems less and less likely…until a favor for his mother puts him on a collision course with Selene. With help from the pack, they discover she’s a preciously rare breed of shifter who can absorb the form of any creature she touches. Brayden knows she’s meant to be his, but mating Selene is impossible unless she learns to control her immense powers.
Or until those powers are taken from her…
Welcome to the Amazon bestselling Glacial Blood series, a world of shifters and witches, magic and mayhem, unforgivable lies and unbreakable love. A world where family is born not only through blood, but bond. With plenty of the threats to come—and a secret that remains untold.

Selene Harper doesn’t know who is she and for that fact, what she is. If she touches someone, she hears all their intimate thoughts. Not so good when you want to start dating. And definitely not good when you are about to be thrown into the world of shape-shifting bears, wolves and wild cats.
Brayden Dillion is a shape-shifting snow leopard. He is the lead assassin of the Glacial Blood pack but has already been told that when he mates, he will be made Beta. That is the problem though. He cannot find his partner. Well, not until he goes to visit his mother and meets Selene.
The Touch of Snow is the first book in the new Glacial Blood series. A first paranormal book from the author, Anna Edwards. It tells the story of a voyage of discovery for both Selene and Brayden as they try to understand what fate has in store for them. The Glacial Blood world is full of intrigue, suspense and a family of friends. It also features a secret that should remain untold.
Family isn’t always blood; it’s the people in your life that accept you for what you are.
A great read.
Not normally my go to genre but I’m now converted.
Selene wakes up in the middle of nowhere with no memory of who she is or why she’s there. One thing she does know, is that when she touches someone, she hears their thoughts – not always a good thing.
Brayden is the lead assassin of the Glacial Blood pack, a family of shifters – humans that shift into animal form, who is asked by his mother to help Selene figure out who and what she is.
When the two meet, they know there is something special between them. When Selene touches Brayden, she doesn’t hear his thoughts, instead she starts to shift into a snow leopard – Brayden’s animal form. Brayden knows that he wants Selene to be his mate but he’s not the only one that has his eyes on her. Someone else also wants Selene, not for a mate but for her powers.
Will Brayden and Selene be together, or will she be taken away from him?
There’s only one way to find out. I would recommend this book to anyone, whether it’s your normal read or not. It had me hooked by the end of the first chapter. I loved it and I can’t wait for the next installment of the series.
Awesome kickass paranormal romance;
Wow…I have got to get me one of those magnificent shape shifting men…so sexy and oozing alpha maleness… Brayden is the lead assassin for the Glacial Blood Pack when visiting his mother he meets Selene a waitress who is smart, gifted and has no recollection of her past….as their relationship develops it becomes clearer that their destinies are entwined and that their meeting was not just a matter of fate… this is an exciting suspenseful story of betrayal, divided loyalties, family rivalries, secrets, and love in all it’s forms with Brayden and Selene in the centre of proceedings..
The premise for the plot is so original….I loved the alternate universe created by the author; the world was fully described with background detail in place which made it feel authentic….it was interesting to watch the characters develop through the pages of the book… I fell in love with the Glacial Blood pack of shape shifters with their tight bonds of family, friendship, loyalty and camaraderie… Kas and Jessica are secondary characters in this book but I can’t wait to read more about them in the future…
This is an awesome kickass paranormal romance; fast paced and full of action not to mention some steamy moments between Brayden and Selene that are off the scale hot and downright dirty.….this is such a great start to the series and thankfully there is the potential for plenty more to come…I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review
*Spoiler FREE*
This is my second Anna Edwards book and I did enjoy this story. I really liked Brayden and how his character was written. I quite enjoy shifter books and I liked the diversity in this one with the variety of different animals and characters. This is a slow burn with a rather explosive climax, which I think allowed for more character and story development rather than many I’ve read where the good stuff happens and is over rather quickly. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes in book two and I am hoping to see more of Kas and Jessica as I am particularly intrigued by their characters.
The Touch of Snow by Anna Edwards is a wonderful paranormal romance. This is book one in the Glacial Blood Series. Selene and Brayden are fated mates. Brayden is a shifter snow leopard and Selene can read people’s thoughts when she touches them. Their meeting causes them to join forces to try to figure out who and what Selene is. Full of excitement, romance and intrigue this book was an excellent book that I highly recommend and I look forward to further additions to this series.
Touch of Snow is a new type of paranormal romance for me. It isn’t your typical paranormal with vampires, werewolves, and witches (although I do enjoy those). Instead there are shifters and a very special one when it comes to Selene. I love how Anna Edwards weaves a love story and suspenseful plot into this book! Brayden and Selene are drawn to each other, but there’s one problem…and it’s a big one! Secrets surround the two of them, both of them doing their best to find out the truth about their pasts and figure out a way to be together. I loved the chemistry between Selene and Brayden despite the barrier they had. I also liked the secondary characters and how close they all were. This book is book one in a series, but with the way it ended, it’s not a jaw dropping cliffhanger, but still one that made me want to read more in this series. Definitely recommend to those who enjoy paranormal romance and just romance in general!
I absolutely loved this!! what a great start to the series.
Paranormal/Shifters lovers will enjoy Anna Edwards Glacier World, you will enter and won’t want to leave…
I have had this book on my kindle for so long, I have to say paranormal isn’t my usual go to genre but I really enjoyed this and wished I had read it sooner, especially as Anna Edwards has written 7 more books to this series! (I have a lot of catching up to do! I desperately need more reading time! )
The good thing is the other 7 books in this series are live!! So no waiting.
I found this book very well written, with some wonderful, lovable characters ( in their human and shifters form )
The more I read the more this book pulled me in.
I am looking forward to book 2
I can highly recommend this book and not only to paranormal lovers, if you have ever wanted to try this genre.. Give it a go you might just become a paranormal fan.
When Brayden’s mom Jane asked for him to help her with something and he realizes it is a woman with abilities unprecedented. He asks for his packs help but there is something about Selene that draws him to her, he will do anything to protect her but at what cost. This is great shifter story and I loved all the varied characters good and bad. I can’t wait to read more of this series.
Touch of Snow introduces the reader to the glacial blood pack
We meet its members – a pretty varied mix of shifters and magic users
We even get a taste of the villain and his sidekick
We are given some of the back story – not enough to answer questions but more than enough to feed our curiosity
Selene is the heroine – not sure how I felt about her in the beginning. A little too needy though we find there is cause for this. She eventually finds her spine and becomes a worthy adversary but it takes a bit.
Brayden is quick to act and is the packs’ enforcer – again we do not get a whole lot of back story bits and pieces about his past her and there.
It definitely sets up the suspense feel that runs in the backstory.
A solid story line that engages and entertains – lots of twists and “Didn’t see that coming” moments – not to mention the sweetest of romances. Again our heroine is very “new” (so not telling but that words speak volumes) to relationships and interpersonal skills.
Some scenes did feel a bit choppy and at times the characters’ interactions felt forced. This was not a consistent issue but it did throw me off a couple times.
Now that my curiosity is peaked I look forward to the next in series
Wow! Absolute loved this shifter book!!
Selene has special powers. Brayden in a snow leopard shifter. One crazy event leads to Brayden taking her back to his pack in hopes for answers. The answers they find are bigger than anything they had in mind.
I am one of those folks that tries real hard to not take my books too seriously especially my shifter books, but this one even stretches that. This was a good read but there are parts that just made my skin crawl with wtf because an editor should have caught it. I love my shifters so I was really excited about this and I am on the fence about it still. The premise is good I just couldn’t get with many of the choices that were made which made it hard to really enjoy the book.
I haven’t read this author before but I have purchased the series in advance so I am gonna finish the series. I hope that now that the imagery is done and the introduction to the main characters is done that things will step up.
The first book in the series. I actually read the third book first and was a bit lost, spreading the first book makes things a bit clearer.
I enjoyed the characters in this book and how they made a family with each other. They are all different, but they will do anything for each other.
Selene’s story made me sad. She wanted to be normal and fit in, but until she meets Brayden, all that is a dream. I liked brayden a lot and i loved how he treated Selena.
I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Wow I just couldn’t put this book down what a great series this will be
Good story
I really enjoyed this story. I couldn’t put it down it sucked me in from the beginning. This was my first book by this author and I def. will be reading the rest of this series.
Anna Edwards does not give a linear and predictable paranormal romance. Instead, she exceeds expectations by making it original and adding in more plot development than typical. This is more than just a romance book. The Glacial Blood pack really resonates what it means to have family and that it doesn’t need to be through genetics. This book also has a great deal of suspense to the point I had to finish it in one sitting.
The character development is astounding. I love the fact Selene can be so feisty but yet the author never fails to show more than one facet of a personality. She presents a mystery I just want to unravel completely. The entire pack is fascinating not to mention Brayden who might just be my new book boyfriend. Having an author able to create a paranormal setting where the characters feel completely real and the world development perfectly imaginable is a true testament in this genre. Nothing felt unrealistic and that is the best sign for paranormal.
I rarely comment about dedication pages but I am making an exception in this case. It may have only been three sentences but it was the most powerful three sentences I have seen on any dedication page.
I can’t wait to see more of the Glacial Blood pack! Highly recommend!
Brayden is a shape-shifting Leopard and the lead assassin of the Glacial Blood pack. Selene has amnesia and doesn’t know who she is. The only thing she knows is for some reason when she touches someone she can hear their thoughts. From the moment Brayden met Selene he knew there was something special about her. Can Brayden help Selene figure out who and what she is? I really enjoyed this book. I love that the Glacial Blood pack are all different animal shifters. Amazing character development, great writing and an intriguing story line make this book a 5-star read. I can not wait to see what happens in the next book.
