Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs
Pages: 340
Finished: 9/15
Rating: 5 stars

Would a panic attack count as a "nervous breakdown"? If so it will work for Labor 7- someone has a nervous breakdown

Otherwise, it doesn't work for any open tasks, but if we get the following again in bonuses, it works:
Labor 1- Someone is under someone's spell
2- someone survived an attack
3- headstrong character
4- someone's name in the title (Frost is a character)
5- something catches on fire
6- someone is murdered
someone is mentally unbalanced
9- murder during book's timeline
10- book with a ghost
11- strong female lead
12- 300-400 pgs.
someone showers
someone is injured severely
