Since the accident, I can not remember anything. I just know that my name is Anna. Everything is white, beautiful, light around me. Yet I sense that something is wrong. I am in danger. I must remember.

I never wrote, no one has ever loved."



Ice Ball in New York is a novel strange, unusual and confusing . I would not be able to tell you whether I liked because I came away from reading this dizzy and confused. Anna is Claramond a young schoolgirl, amnesiac after a car accident that earned him a meeting with enchanting Wynter Seth-Smith. This young man is handsome and rich and the latter as in a fairy tale to prompt Frost Ball, a dance popular. Soon, they fall in love but this love story flavored with rose water is tinged with mystery. Anna feels that something is wrong. A prince charming straight out of a dream, perfect but perfection does not hide Does not the lies and manipulation? Surrounded by a veil of illusion, charm Wynter Seth-Smith bothers and scares. Claramond Anna is also a rich girl: her father, renowned architect seems to have built a city unusual and magical while transparency and play of light. strong contrast to a New York-piercing the sky with its towers of glass, playing on Baroque interiors and striking. Everything is beautiful, white and fluffy ... A New York cold, full of dreamlike and poetic : magnificent, majestic dominated by the power of a single family, like a winter and imposing marble. Then there is the mask, a kidnapper of young girls raging for some time and decided to throw his sights on Anna ...

There is nothing wrong about the scenery designed by Fabrice Colin. The reader is struck by the uncanny found in Wynter's character and in New York at the imperturbable coolness. Wynter is fascinating and personality still escapes to Anna and captivated readers but anxious. Fabrice Colin distilled clues here and there for a late shock. An investigation difficult, full of doubt that leads us on a wave of unreality, confusion between dreams and where everything seems surprisingly fleeting and ephemeral. But Anna wants the truth about Wynter, this daydream about her parents ... Frost Ball in New York provides disturbing reading with an original plot and writing and evaporated light that brings us into a fantasy world where the unconscious is a reality that joins wants drama. A successful novel and surprising .
