BLACK ICE

By Becca Fitzpatrick

The Young Adult sensation Becca Fitzpatrick, author of the best-selling Hush Hush saga, is back with a new novel!  Black Ice, a riveting stand –alone romantic thriller set against the treacherous backdrop of the mountains of Wyoming.

Britt Pfeiffer has never been that adventurous, but that’s about to change. Wanting to impress her ex-boyfriend, Britt convinces best friend, Korbie, to take a trekking trip with her. But when a freak storm leaves the girls stranded they seek shelter in a cabin, where they find two knights in shining armour. Or so they think.

Britt quickly realises that the girls need to get off the mountain, fast. In exchange for her life, she is forced to guide the boys down, and as they set out on a harrowing journey through the cold and snow, Britt realises the only way to escape with her life is to pretend she is on their side. But is gorgeous, sexy Mason an enemy or an ally? Tension mounts, and it’s only a matter of time before things turn deadly . . .

Dark and adrenaline-filled, Black Ice will have you on the edge of your seat right until the final twist!

  • Enjoyable and exciting, edge of your seat romantic thriller

    In a diversion from the fantasy world we have grown to love from the Hush, Hush series, Black Ice shifts between romantic novel and thriller as the main character Britt experiences a full range of emotions from feelings of love to white knuckle terror. A hiking trip turned sour when a blizzard forces Britt and her friend Korbie to seek refuge in a cabin where they find a couple of very handsome young men who take them captive and force Britt at gun point to act as their guide and help them escape from the mountain. Her captures alternate between hero and villain as they fight together to survive the dangers of the mountain and Britt’s heart and mind are in constant conflict about which way she should run. An enjoyable and exciting read.

  • Final Review: Great book

    I had high expectations for this novel, seeing as I've read Becca Fitzpatrick's other books and LOVED THEM. I'm happy to say that i wasn't disappointed. Like i said in my initial review, i didn't really like the characters at the beginning, but that all changed as i got more engrossed in Britt's world. It was definitely a suspenseful book, full of lots of twists and turns. And even though the plot was fairly easy to predict, i still found myself being surprised. Definitely worth the read!

  • Twisty and suspenseful

    Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick is a thrilling romantic suspense set in the mountains of Wyoming. Britt, who’s not typically adventurous, embarks on a hiking trip with her friend Korbie to impress her ex. A sudden storm leaves them stranded, and they seek refuge in a cabin with two seemingly helpful men. But things quickly take a dangerous turn.

    Britt is forced to guide the men off the mountain, unsure if she can trust Mason, one of her captors. As tension builds, the journey becomes a deadly game of survival. Dark, suspenseful, and full of twists, Black Ice will keep you hooked!

  • Worth a read

    What can I say about Black Ice? I thought it was a good book to read however there are bits I liked and bits that I didn't!

    I really enjoyed reading about the characters and trying to discover their underlying motives, however as the story moved along, I thought it become a tad unbelievable.

    The half-way point of the book also let it down, and I felt this section to be a bit of a slog, especially after such a fast paced start. The ending however did gain momentum which gets this book points again.

    Overall, this book is worth a read.

  • Yes and no

    This book was entertaining and kept me guessing however there were some elements I really liked and others I didn't.

    The characters and their motives intrigued me and I couldn't wait to find out the truth however, even though at first the plot captivated me, I thought it became a little far fetched throughout the book.

    Black Ice's tempo was fast and engaging at both the beginning and at the end however, I felt that during the middle of the book it dragged somewhat.

    Overall, it was an acceptable book to read.

  • Kept me intrigued

    Gluten free pastry

    Ingredients

    1 cup water

    2 tspn salt

    90g unsalted butter chopped and kept cold

    150g gluten free flour Plus 1/2 cup extra for kneeding

    2g xanthan gum

    2 free range eggs

    Directions

    1

    Preheat oven to 200C

    2

    In a heavy based saucepan combine the water, salt and butter.

    3

    Bring to a simmer and add the flour and Xanthan gum. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon. Lower temperature and continue to cook until pastry comes away from the sides and is well combined. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

    4

    Whisk the eggs to combine and add half the egg mixture slowly, incorporating fully before adding the final half. If the mixture is a dough texture when you add in the first half, you may not need to rest of the eggs mixture.

    5

    Turn out onto a surface on which you have placed a further ½ cup gluten free flour and knead until shiny. Try to incorporate as little flour as possible so the pastry does not go crumbly.

    6

    Chill pastry then using a rolling pin roll the pastry between two pieces of baking paper greased on both sides. Roll to half a centimetre thick and place in pie tins.

    7

    Properties: browns beautifully, has a nice crispness and holds in moisture. Has a nice potato undertone which is very pleasant. Has a great shelf life, up to 5 days in fridge without going mouldy.

    8

    Note: You could add 2 teaspoons of xylitol or coconut sugar and make a sweet pastry for fruit pies.

  • A captivating read

    Wow! A truely cactivating read. The story line has so many twists and turns but it keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I could not put the book down. The characters are easy to follow and you grow an instant connection to Britt, Korbie and Mason. The story ends how you'd like but not after some more twists and turns. Definitely worth the read!


  • It's a good read for yound adults

    The book overall is good for young adults. It is not very complicated. The language was fine too. Black Ice is a sort of mystery with a killer on the loose, two young people running for their life through the mountain. Unfortunately, the story was not very convoluted. It was obvious what was about to happen in the middle of the book. So, the moment of surprise was missing. But overall it is enjoyable reading for teenagers.

    Reply

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

    Reply

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

    Reply

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

    Reply

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

    Reply

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
