I picked this book up on a whim because the cover was gorgeous and intriguing and the summary had me hooked. Just as it says, so the story begins, and Dusty starts speaking to a strange boy who seems to know too much about her and claims he thought of a random phone number and it happened to connect him to her. This boy is definitely the heart and most interesting part of the story. At times the writing and plot grew bland while I waited for more news of him to surface. Oftentimes instead of theI have questions. Many questions.That's the thing - this book leaves things pretty open-ended, and the reveal you do get doesn't come until the very end.The main character was a little hard to relate to throughout. I didn't really understand why she just kept lying to everybody and keeping secrets that didn't seem to matter much and would only pull her into more trouble. I felt like there was some unnecessary drama as well, especially on her part.The writing was pretty good; it definitely gave
Frozen Fire held just enough mystery that I wanted to read more and just a little scary that I was hesitant to. In a sense, I would call it a psych thriller and you have to be wary of these. Because sometimes they aren't good. They can be full of pages upon pages of words and still say nothing of value. Because psychs can babble if they're not good. But I felt like this one, IMO, did just enough right to keep me reading so that I could find out if Dusty would save the boy on the other end of
I so loved this book!!! If you haven't read it you should add it to your shelf. This is the most awesomeness book with a mystery that must be lived with. To bad no one will ever know who the ghostly boy is who can do all these amazing stuff. But atleast Dusty's family knows what happened to her brother, Josh, at the end. Sad though but good ending never, saw it coming. I am just happy that everything has been cleared up, even though Dusty is living with a mystery that will never be solved....or
This book started out like Wolf Rider. A kid gets a call and someone totally unknown is at the end, threatening lives, whether it be someone or themselves. It appeared very interesting to me, until the boy on the other end could do a whole bunch of unexplainable stuff. Then there's this Josh kid who disappeared a long time ago and the main character goes looking for him since the boy on the other end can feel Josh. I didn't even understand the end. These two plots just didn't mix.
' "I'm dying," said the voice. Dusty clutched the phone. She had no idea who this was.'Well, with a hook like that who wouldn't want to keep reading? I certainly did, so much so that I bought the book...and now I wish I could give it back.The main premise is a very intriguing one. A teenaged girl named Dusty recieves a midnight phone call from a strange boy who seems to know intimate details about her, most importantly the fact that her brother disappeared two years ago. The setting of rural
It was dark outside. Cobweb knew this even without drawing back the curtains. It was a strange, eerie darkness which seemed to envelop her as she sat on her bed reading Frozen Fire by Tim Bowler. Her room was unusually warm for this time of year. She could hear the snow falling outside, stroking at the window, conflicting with the heat of her room. It was as if the room was a new world, a different world. It was a world separate from the frozen one that loomed outside. After glancing quickly at
