Frost by Marianna Baer Review

My first ARC...  Frost by Marianna Baer..

Leena Thomas's senior year at a boarding school begins with a shock:  Frost House, her cozy dorm of close friends, has been assigned an unexpected roommate: confrontational, eccentric Celeste Lazr.  But while Leena"s anxiety about a threat to her sanctuary proves valid, it becomes less and less clear whether the threat lies with her new roommate, with Leena's own mind or within the very nature of Frost House itself.  Mysterious happenings in the dorm, an intense triangle between Leena, Celeste and Celeste"s brother, and the awakening of childhood fears, all push Leena to take increasingly desperate measures to feel safe.  Frost is the story of a haunting.  As whether the demons are supernatural or psychological... well, which answer would let your sleep at night?

My very first ARC book!  I was so excited when this came in the mailbox.  This book had me interested from the beginning!  I read this book in one sitting because I needed to know more, what was going to happen next, why.  All the characters are great in their own way, wish there was a little more romance (but that's just me) lol.  The plot had all kind of twist and turns!  The writing style was great.  The ending was a shock and kind of confused me.  Hope there is going to be a 2nd installment so I can find out more.  Pick this book up 09/11/11.
