Narrative During Books Frost
Leena Thomas’s senior year at boarding school starts with a cruel shock: Frost House, the cozy Victorian dorm where she and her best friends live, has been assigned an unexpected roommate—eccentric Celeste Lazar.As classes get under way, strange happenings begin to bedevil Frost House: frames falling off walls, doors locking themselves, furniture toppling over. Celeste blames the housemates, convinced they want to scare her into leaving. And although Leena strives to be the peacekeeper, soon the eerie happenings in the dorm, an intense romance between Leena and Celeste’s brother, David, and the reawakening of childhood fears all push Leena to take increasingly desperate measures to feel safe. But does the threat lie with her new roommate, within Leena’s own mind…or in Frost House itself?
From debut author Marianna Baer, Frost is a stunning and surprising tale of suspense that will have readers on the edge of their seats.

Senior year at Barcroft Academy is not turning out the way Leena Thomas planned it. She and her best friends Abby and Viv were supposed to have Frost House all to themselves, their very own private corner of campus. But all because of a broken leg, their sanctuary has been invaded by Celeste Lazar, an eccentric girl Leena is now forced to call roommate. Leena is willing to get over what she sees as an unfair intrusion and make nice with Celeste, but keeping the peace becomes more difficult withI read Frost around the time I moved into a new apartment with my friends so it was very befitting and reading what was happening to Leena and Celeste got me a little paranoid and freaked about my new room. Basically, it's about Leena's first semester in Frost House (a dorm at the girls' boarding school that can accommodate just four students plus the house councelor) and the freaky things that happened to her and the girl she shared a room with, Celeste. Throughout the book, the big question
Not enough ghost đŸ‘» in this ghost story.Unreliable narrator, crazy roach obsessed surprise roommate and her incestuously toi interested in his sister brother who is supposed to be the love interest???What. The. Heck.This was more a psychological, slow-would-be-thriller. But I found it boring, the characters unlikable, and the "threat" or whatever you'd like to call it unterrifying to say the least. And to top it all off, the ending sucked. I will say the writing was good and the story had
Review taken from my blog, The Haunting of Orchid Forsythia.Sadly I was kind of disappointed with Frost. When I picked it up I was expecting a bone chilling psychological thriller that would leave me unable to sleep at night, what I wound up with instead was a book that just fell flat and that didn't quite live up to my expectations. I will try my hardest to explain just why this book did not work for me and what I did and didn't like about it. While it may not have been my cup o' tea Frost
A haunted house story for teens that keeps the pages turning. Not of the Goosebumps variety, more in the spirit of Lisa McMann's WAKE or even the old gothic classics. There's a ghost or something like it in Frost House, a tiny dorm converted from an old home at a boarding school called Barcroft. Leena Thomas and her best friends are finally seniors, and Leena has talked the dean into letting girls have the house instead of the boys who have been rooming there for decades. Leena is planning a
This book was pretty bad.Rating: Probably more of a 2 star read but I'm cranky right now.I don't know if I'm just getting old or this heat is making me super cranky. Both?At first I was indifferent to the characters for the most part, and then it just got trying because I found them all so boring or just too try-hard. I love subtle gothics, but they actually have suspense, build up of tension, and eerie/spooky feelings. I was bored. This tried to be a modern gothic but it failed for me.
Moving into Frost House for senior year wasnt just a curiosity it was more like a compulsion for Leena Thomas.The fact that Leena would be among the first female residents of the previously all-boys dorm meant little to her. Frost House, from the moment she saw it, drew her in. It was home. A safe haven.It was an old house. There were bound to be quirks. A cold breeze, a musty scent, the feeling that someone was watching all were explainable phenomenon. As were the broken vase, torn skirt and
