What a quick and fun read! I devoured this one in a single sitting. It kept me guessing – I just wanted to finish it as soon as possible to find out who the heck the killer was!   Hartley had a witty voice and I enjoyed reading her sarcasm. I found myself smiling or giggling to myself regularly at the snarky and creative things she said. I loved her journey through solving the clues – the trouble she gets into […]

While I did like this book, there really wasn’t much of a plot line involved. I did enjoy the development of the relationship between David and Leena. I always love a good romance ;) Even without much going on though, this book still held my attention (believe me, not an easy task). The strange and unexplained happenings in Frost House left me wanting answers. You start to wonder if Celeste is doing the things to herself, if one of the […]
