Review: Just a prequel

Jennifer Estep will be greatly liked by Harry Potter and Twilight readers, and all young people that liked books from Kristin Cast (Marked, etc. etc), because  this author has put together all the right ingredients to please young adults: a young witch that has just lost her only parent, a mysterious college, a librarian that she will have to assist that already dislike her, rich girls enrolled in the same school that look at her coldly & an handsome boy that look at her hotly (that's why I gave it two stars instead of one). FIRST FROST, however, doesn't qualify as a book, because it merely introduces the main character, explaining what is her "Gipsy Gift" and how she entered this nondescripted High School, where she will learn to fight a nondescripted enemy (we only know he has frightful red eyes). PERIOD.I believe that this very short story could be described as a prequel, or as teaser chapters of a larger book, because it stops just before the plot starts to develop. I would be really disappointed if I hadn't downoaded it as a free Book.
