A Frosty Girl’s Cure by Zoe E. Whitten

A death wish isn't unhealthy if you were born immortal 

Terry Donalds was born a clone at the age of twelve, the victim of a gruesome vigilante killing spree in City California. Her killer, Duggan Masters (aka: Light Master), retired from crime along with his “sidekick” Leona, and in an ill-advised act of atonement, the former super villains opted to clone and adopt Terry as their only child.

But Terry is incapable of aging, and she displays the mixed up emotions of a 12 year old trapped in the chemical imbalance of puberty. Her mood swings are so strong, she’s changing weather patterns by generating freak blizzards during her temper tantrums. At 18 years old, she still looks 12, and her screwed up emotions often cause her to act the same.

Even Dr. Wallace Cornwall has been unable to help mellow her out, so during the Summer vacation of her 18th year, Terry returns to City California to seek the advice of her creator, half beast/half scientist Morgan Funeral. In her own words, Terry describes her hellish road trip to City with her friend and the myriad disasters that seemed to hound her from the moment she arrived.

Terry’s search for a way to die naturally will take her from her past as a super villain to a painful reintroduction to City as the leader of a superhero team. The journey will take her through three states; to the cold vacuum of outer space; and to an alternate dimension without superheroes.

Along the way, her misadventures might also teach her to appreciate life and learn to accept being different.

Editor’s First Impression

The first chapter is long and well-written.  Terry tells her life story even though it’s technically the life story of another person/body.

Though the story is not finished at the time of my writing, I thought I would go ahead and give my impressions of its beginnings.

A Frosty Girl’s Cure is a sequel to another story which I have not read, but this didn’t detract at all from reading this one. As a reader, I was immediately immersed in a quirky world of super villains and super heroes with crazy powers.

My biggest complaint is that there are too many characters to keep track of easily. This might be because it is a sequel. Had I read the other book, I might have been able to keep track better.

The story is thus far not erotic exactly, but instead titillating, and it is, I assume, somewhat the aim of the story to be that way. For that reason, I am excusing the fact that the first chapter does very little to further the plot and instead focuses on a possible love quandrangle. (What do you call four people?) The author does a good job of teasing, but not delivering much. Yet, I hope. :)

Overall, I plan to read more of the story when it is posted. While a bit meandering, it is very compelling. There’s a good mix of supernatural elements, sexual tension, and a little romance.
