Heart of Ice

Summary: A supernatural mystery story combined with some romance.
Review: Fifteen-year-old Jansie is devastated when her older sister Tavia marries Silvan, the young man that both girls love. Jansie knows she will have to live her life without him, but she can't help being jealous of Tavia and longing for her Silvan, even though she knows her feelings are wrong. When Silvan must travel away from home, on a journey that will last the entire winter, he invites Jansie to his remote estate to keep Tavia company while he is away. But an early snowfall delays Silvan's departure, and Tavia is haunted by terrible nightmares. Gilmer, who works for Silvan, tells Jansie about a local legend, the Hounds of Winter. Are the Hounds haunting Tavia? And why is Silvan acting so strange? Jansie must discover the truth, but will she be in time to save Tavia - and herself? I highly recommend this book to teens who enjoy stories with a mix of romance and the supernatural.
