Renato Pongrac renatopongrac — Reading this book was very painful. Although it’s hard to imagine a young person having gone through all of the terrible things Zach went through, I think his story probably speaks to a lot of young adults. One of the things that makes this book successful is Zach’s voice. Yes, he throws the f-bomb around a lot, along with several other choice words, but it feels very much like hearing an angry teen talk. For the young adults themselves, this language would likely not seem offensive at all, but parents of teens might have more of an issue with the language. But it wasn’t only the cuss words that gave Zach’s voice authenticity, it was also the very conversational nature of his voice. It’s easy to really hear Zach, and the way he relates his story it’s as if you’ve met a new friend and you’re swapping stories over a cup of coffee. Additionally, Saenz also marks Zach’s growth through is voice, and as the story progresses and Zach processes and heals, his voice changes. He loses some of the filler words – the “ohs”, “likes”, and “I knows” – and he becomes more articulate. Through Zach and Rafael, Saenz highlights the value of words, the importance of words, and the impact of words. For me personally, though, an addiction book may not have been the best choice. Certainly, Zach is in some incredible pain and has suffered various different types and degrees of trauma. But I found it tiring listening to him so actively decide not to acknowledge what’s wrong and what he’s been through, and to try so hard not to deal. And in some of his group and therapy sessions, there is mention of taking responsibility for his actions, even if he was operating in his disease, but ultimately, I would have liked to have seen this aspect of addiction fleshed out a little more. While Zach does “do the work,” it seemed like just as much as his alcoholism was defined by his relationships with others, so, too, was his recovery. And maybe that’s the way humans operate, maybe that’s just the way life is – so much of our experience is shaped by those with whom we’re experiencing it at any given time. But I’d like to think, and I would have liked to see from Zach, that ultimately it’s up to the individual. It’s up to Zach to seek comfort in a bottle, and it’s up to Zach to live sober. Certainly, having healthier relationships will foster a generally more healthy attitude toward life for Zach, but it has to come from Zach, it has to be what Zach wants for himself, not what Adam or Rafael want for Zach, and not even what Rafael wants for Rafael. Certainly, it is rewarding to watch Zach grow and make tremendous strides to begin living a healthy life, and for a story that is so depressing and heavy, it was nice to have a sense of hope for Zach. But Zach has a long road ahead of him, and the “everything’s going to be okay” vibe at the end felt a little forced and a little unrealistic.

Lauren Blythe _auren_lythe — If you are not familiar with this series, you might get a little spoiled reading this review. This is the second book in the Mythos Academy, so if you haven't read the 1st this review might give some stuff away pertaining to the 1st book. You can read my full review of Touch of Frost HERE. If you are not familiar with Jennifer's writing, make sure to become acquainted soon. Jennifer has a great way of complimenting her story with her words, everything gels together without a flaw. The characters development in this book was excellent, she dived in deeper with them all. Everything about this series just makes you read and not stop until you are done with the last page. Kiss of Frost begins shortly after Touch of Frost ended, Gwen is a second year student at Mythos Academy and is training with some of the warriors. Gwen began training after what happen recently to her at the library. Its not everyday that you are chased by Reapers in Gwen's life and live to tell about it. Gwen being Nike's Champion now wants to figure out how she can become like the students at her school. She wants to be able to be a warrior and fight Reapers just like the rest. Its seems though that others have different plans for Gwen. Things begin to affect and happen to Gwen again, she tells no one. She wants to figure it out on her own. Easier said then done. Don't get me wrong Logan and the Spartans have been training her everyday and she is making tiny progress but its progress. Her BFF convinces her that she has to go to the Winter Carnival with everyone, so Gwen says yes and plans on getting away from all the drama for a few days. The thing about drama it will follow you. Logan and her crush for him won't be the only thing heavy on Gwen's shoulders. Its not a good combination when you add avalanche, wolf and hot new guy to the mix. SO much will happen in Kiss of Frost, you won't have a minute to rest or blink. I enjoyed each part of the suspense, action, drama and romance Jennifer wrote. I could not put the book down until I was done with it. The hot and cold relationship between Gwen and Logan is so good and such a tease. The new characters will sparks some interest as well. Then we can't leave Vic out of the loop, Gwen's talking sword keeps on giving some of the best one-liners ever. The teaser of Dark Frost at the end of the book will definitely wet your appetite for more now. Cant wait! I recommend this series to everyone and what a great gift these books would make as a Christmas gift. review link: http://www.onceuponatwilight.com/2011...
