Title- First Frost
Series-The Frost Series Book # 1

Fairytales aren't real…yeah…that’s exactly what Bianca
thought. She was wrong.
For generations, the Frost family has run the Museum of
Magical and Rare Artifacts, handing down guardianship from mother to daughter,
always keeping their secrets to “family only.”
Gathered within museum’s walls is a collection dedicated to
the Grimm fairy tales and to the rare items the family has acquired:
Cinderella’s glass slipper, Snow White’s poisoned apple, the evil queen’s magic
mirror, Sleeping Beauty’s enchanted spinning wheel…
Seventeen-year-old Bianca Frost wants none of it, dreaming
instead of a career in art or photography or…well, anything except working in
the family’s museum. She knows the items in the glass display cases are fakes
because, of course, magic doesn't really exist.
She’s about to find out how wrong she is.
My Review: Wow what whirlwind of a story! I want more! When I started reading First Frost I never dreamed that it would turn into one kick butt of a story. I was totally surprised by the way this story unfolded with each and every page. Bianca Frost is one exceptional 17 year old that has no idea how special she really is. The secrets that come to light and the twist on the fairy tales sent me into a spiral I never wanted to stop. This is a magnificent start to The Frost Series I hope the rest are just as magical!

Title-Glass Frost

Blurb-
When joined together, Cinderella's slippers grant the wearer
her heart's desire. But whose wish will be granted?
When Cinderella’s glass slipper is stolen, Queen Felicia
sends her faithful steward Terrance to the real world to retrieve his love and
witch-in-training, Bianca Frost. The power of the glass slipper, when paired
with its mate, and in the wrong hands, could ruin the peace of Everafter.
Bianca must gather every bit of magic she has learned in the past few weeks to
find the slipper and protect her new love. Together, Bianca, Ming, Prince
Ferdinand, and Terrance venture deep into the heart of Everafter to seek clues
as to who has stolen the slipper and why. Along the way, they uncover what
happened to the Seven Dwarves after Snow White married the prince, but also
learn the awful risk of tampering with black magic and the high price that must
be paid for magic, even when used for good.
Bianca and Terrance’s relationship is put to the test.
Through the pain of suffering and loss, Bianca must determine if following her
gallant boyfriend into his faraway world is in fact her heart's desire.
My Review: Liz Dejesus can put a spin on my fairy tales any time she wants if they are always going to be this much fun. Magical doesn't even begin to describe Glass Frost. If you are looking for the Disney version of your favorites here then you will most definitely be disappointed because this second book in the Frost Series is far from them. I believe my mind warped on the fairy tales I grew up knowing and I like it. Bianca is starting to realize just how special and important she is when she gets summoned to appear before Queen Felicia. After taking the plunge into Everafter again Bianca discovers there is so much more at steak than ever before. I am so completely fighting to hold back and not give these stories away to you. I am positive that you should go and discover what is waiting in Everafter for you.
