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.

  • Full of suspense!

    When I started the book I didn’t know exactly what to expect. But from the first pages it was so engaging! I just couldn’t put it down. The suspense and tension went on through the all book. I loved it! I surely want to read more from this author! It’s not a book just for young adults. :-)

  • 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.

  • Final review: wish the book didn't end!

    Reading the blurb of Black Ice I must admit had me feeling a bit hesitant. You see it wasn’t a book I would usually choose to read. So I sat down with a coffee and thought I would give it a go, you know read a couple of chapters and see if I could get into it. I didn’t hold high hopes unfortunately!

    Two hours later, I was shocked – my coffee was long cold, and I was half way through the book! I could not put it down!

    The twists and turns of the storyline had me on the edge of my seat- holding my breath waiting to find out what happened next! Needless to say in less than four hours, the book was finished! I was shattered to be completely honest! The story has it all – drama, romance, fear, shocks – you name it!

    Becca Fitzpatrick has written an amazing novel. Black Ice is a book I would recommend to any young adult, even older adults too! The only downside of this book is that it had to end!

  • Full of suspense til the very end!

    I found the first couple of chapters quite hard to get into, felt it was a little disjointed, but was soon drawn into the suspense and mystery of Britt’s Story, and couldn’t put it down. I guessed the twist half way through, but still couldn’t wait to get to the end to find out how Britt’s story ended. Recommended, and have already passed on to a friend!
