Book Title: Winter by Marissa Meyer

Book Beginnings:
Winter's toes had become ice cubes. They were as cold as space. As cold as the dark side of Luna.
Friday 56:
Wolf's shoulders hunched closer to his ears, and the guilty expression was all the answer she needed. She's heard rumors of his insatiable appetite and the high-octane metabolism that kept him always fidgeting, always moving.
Comment: Marissa Meyer, the author of Winter and the other books in the Lunar Chronicles, lives in my neck-of-the-woods. Last November I attended the launch party for Winter which was held in an old ballroom crammed full of girls dressed in their finest ball gowns. It was quite the affair. But after i got home I placed the book on the library shelves for others to read first. Finally it was my turn. It only took me a year to finally get around to reading the finale of this wonderful and inventive series which is a re-telling of several popular fairy tales: Cinderella (book 1-Cinder); Little Red Riding Hood (book 2 -Scarlet); Rapunzel (book 3 -Cress), and Snow White (book 4- Winter.)
