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!

  • 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.

Topics

In my 16 years as a mum, I’ve learnt a thing or two about time savers and time suckers. For instance, looking for misplaced footy boots, school books or chargers is a complete time sucker. On the flip side, the ultimate time savers are the unsung heroes of the home – the clever appliances that make everyday tasks simple.

Westinghouse appliances are the masters at freeing up busy families to have more time to do what they love (or look for those missing footy boots – FYI they’re usually in the car!).

Keep It Cool, With A Friendly Fridge

Westinghouse 609L French door fridge (WHE6170BB)

Just like mums and dads, fridges are absolute workhorses of the family, but do you just ever wish your fridge could just get what it’s like to be busy? The game-changing Westinghouse 609L French door fridge (WHE6170BB) is a bit of a mind-reader. It just knows what a family needs! The FlexSpace Fully Convertible Drawer does whatever you need it to.

With the touch of a button you can chill drinks, freeze meat or store deli meats for school lunches, with five different settings. No need to shuffle things from the fridge to the freezer and back. We also love, love, love the Dual Freezer Storage which gives that much-needed extra space.

Whether it’s storing leftovers, freezing, or controlling humidity, this fridge is happy to help the family keep its cool. Literally.

Make Dinner A Sprint, Not A Marathon

One of the most hectic times of the day revolves around getting dinner on the table for the hungry hoards. It’s usually a race against the clock in between sport, dance and music but with the Westinghouse 60cm multi-function pyrolytic oven (WVEP6918DD) fast heat up time it means dinner is cooking in record time. And with the ability to air fry frozen food without defrosting and clean itself using PyroClean it means there’s more time for catching up with the kids in between school and activities. It almost like having your own sous chef. Another Westinghouse appliance that’s happy to help!

Less Dish Stress

Westinghouse 60cm freestanding dishwasher (WSF6608KXB)

My family know I absolutely hate a sink that’s overflowing with dirty dishes. The easier it is for everyone to help, the more likely they’ll do it! Westinghouse 60cm freestanding dishwasher (WSF6608KXB) are bursting with features that are all aimed at calming the chaos – with room for up to 15 place settings, fast wash cycles and fast drying – and they’re quiet. Wash overnight, and everyone can pitch in during the morning rush!

More Laundry, Less Time

The never-ending story of my house is The Laundry. I’m sure the laundry hampers are bottomless pits which are never truly empty. At least with the Westinghouse 10kg EasyCare 700 Front load washing machine – WWF1044M7SA everything is geared to getting the washing done quicker. Which means you can do more in less time – so good.

The Full Load 60 gets an entire load done in 60 minutes or less. The higher spin speed gets more moisture out of your clothes, which means less drying time, and you can set the timer so the washing is done when you’re ready for it. Everything points to spending a whole lot less time in the laundry!

Dry In No Time

Westinghouse 10kg front load washing machine (WWF1044M7WA)

Finally, to the true unsung hero of the house – the dryer. Westinghouse 9kg heat pump dryer (WDH904N7SA) is created to take care of your clothes, while making sure they dry in the quickest time. I love being able to throw a load in the dryer and by the time I’m back from school drop off and ready to start work from home, the clothes and dry!

Whatever you’re doing around the home, Westinghouse is happy to help, by making your life easier so you can spend more time doing the things that matter. Time with our family really is precious and goes by in the blink of an eye. So things like a fast wash, quick freeze and an oven that’s at temperature quickly add up to less stress and more time.

  • I have all I need with no longer working I have the time to do everything during the day. I don’t need any of these now. Could have done with them when the house was full though. Working through the night then coming home to do all the housework and organise meals was stressful.

  • My oven has an overwhelming number of functions. I just don’t know how to use them all, or even why I would. Still, it’s good to have. It’s good at the basics, and maybe one day I’ll have a visitor who wants to use it and knows how to use it to its’ fullest.

  • I LOVE the sound of that oven! Even though mine is a newer model, it takes forever to heat up! I don’t have the kind of time! It’s also important the have that nice large capacity so you can fit everything in. I love that this one also air fries- how clever!

  • These things were all lifesavers for me when the house was full with young ones running around and a husband who needed clothes for the following days work. Unfortunately it no longer matters. My boys are adults now and my husband passed away a few years ago so I have plenty of time to waste. I’m at home all the time now

  • Saving time, resources and of course money on laundry jobs is always one of our highest priorities when it comes to housework and chores. Laundry jobs can be so very time consuming and having appliances that have terrific performance and save in key areas is absolutely essential for our busy family.

  • It is amazing what technology can do these days, the things they come up with to help make lives easier. These appliances are so stylish and fancy, I want them all in my house. We all need a bit of luxury in our homes and these would be awesome to have. A girl can dream right.

  • Aw these are the coolest looking and smartest appliances ever and they could make live easier for sure ! With a rental property and limited amount of space I would never be able to fit such great and smart French door fridge, but boy would it be handy when there’s no need to shuffle things from the fridge to the freezer and back !

  • We do like to buy and use appliances that save time and use less energy. We always buy appliances that offer short cycles, particularly for the laundry because it is so very important to use less energy. We always check the appliance rating and read the reviews for use and for value.

  • Im so amazed at how many new features and gadgets these home appliances have now compared to when i purchased mine 7-9 years prior. I love when appliances can connect and make my life easier! My new fridge alerts me if the doors open via my phone and i can change its settings when i need anytime on my app

  • The oven features a pyrolytic self cleaning cycle that burns off all the dirt and grease. Westinghouse product push or just recognise we all work hard and need good tools .Thank god we can now review products until the cows come home and get the best one to do the right job .And what about pleasure and reward I received a Hisence 85 inch TV last mothers day and it is just so good I love it .It only cost $1500 form JB .So don’t forget its not all work pleasure counts also

  • Good appliances are worth paying for – they can make a huge difference to you.

  • We will be looking for a new fridge soon as our current fridge is making noises and we’ve had it for over ten years. Westinghouse will be on our shortlist as it has been around for as long as I can remember and is a trusted brand. The online reviews are all so positive too.

    Reply

  • I desperately need a new washing machine as mine is 11 years old and just isn’t doing its job anymore and I worry about the amount of water and electricity the big old girl uses for a wash. I would love a front loader again as I had one years ago.

    Reply

  • Thank you so much for your review of all the Westinghouse range of whitegoods. I just know I will be up for a new fridge/freezer before too much longer as well as a new washing machine. Nothing lasts forever, does it? I have always used Westinghouse and will be replacing the fridge/freezer with one when I need to do so but I was interested in the washing machine information as I wasn’t aware they made those. Love that it is still an Australian brand with some things still manufactured in Adelaide as well.

  • Energy efficiency is what it is all about nowadays and so important . I think it’s the number one item we all look for, next to price. Then comes all the mind reading and amazing features on offer with modern appliances. So many things there to help the modern family.

  • I recently got a new Westinghouse washing machine and must admit… new technology is a win. Even simple things like self dosing the laundry Detergent saves time! And brain function! And I don’t have one but the heat pump dryers are not only smart, but energy efficient, saving bill stress every month!

    Reply

  • Im all for anything that saves time and these look pretty amazing, especially the washer and dryer. I have 4 kids and I feel like my washing machine and dryer is constantly running. I honestly can’t keep up. Just when I thinkk im at the bottom of the basket, someone cleans their room and it’s full again 🤣

  • I didn’t realise that Westinghouse had such a good range of technologically advanced appliances. It’s good to know for when I’m in need of new white goods.. I really like the look of the Westinghouse French Door fridge. The FlexSpace drawer sounds amazing. Big improvement on my current fridge. Amazing technology.
