The Truth About Celia Frost by Paula Rawsthorne
The Blurb On The Back:
Celia Frost’s life is ruled by fear – fear of a rare disorder that mean she could bleed to death from the slightest cut. But then a knife attack on Celia has unexpected consequences, her mum reacts strangely. Suddenly they’re on the run, and Celia has no idea why. All she wants is the truth … but the truth is more horrifying than she could ever imagine, and it’s closing in fast.
A buried secret; a gripping manhunt; a dangerous deceit …
What is the truth about Celia Frost?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Paula Rawthorne’s debut YA novel is an interesting thriller with a decent pace but I didn’t feel emotionally connected to the main character or her dilemma. I’ll be interested in reading more of Rawsthorne’s work, but I’m not sure I’d be interested in reading a sequel to this book.
