Frozen Fire

by Tim Bowler

Summary: Dusty's brother disappears without a trace, and then her mother leaves without an explanation. Dusty remains behind in an empty house with a devastated father. A phone call from a mysterious young man makes her think he knows something about her brother's disappearance, but danger seems to follow him. He knows things he shouldn't, people are getting hurt, and the cops warn Dusty that the boy may not be what he seems. In fact, he may not even be human.

My thoughts: The opening words of this story pull you in immediately. The words "I'm dying," uttered by a stranger on the phone. While it's slow in some parts, the unusual story kept me reading. I liked this book, but I'll warn you, all the questions you have will not be answered. Sometimes that's okay, though!
