Oct 01, 2012 Cass marked it as top-wishlist

1) "...takes place against the treacherous backdrop of the mountains of Wyoming"

2) Part psychological thriller, part survival with a touch of the paranormal.

3) Standalone novel

They ask: Do you want?
I say: Heckyeah!

So I haven't read Hush, Hush but this one has all the right flavours... ...more

DNF at 66%

I really like the idea. But Britt was the most annoying narrator. She's constantly talking about Calvin and the "wonderful" memories they shared together.

Yeah right.

I really can't even begin to explain this book. I actually really loved the Hush, Hush series so much but this is completely different and just bleh. Give it a try if you want but all of the negative reviews about the book are pretty spot on. ...more

Sometimes danger is hard to see... until it’s too late.

Britt Pfeiffer has trained to backpack the Teton Range, but she isn't prepared when her ex-boyfriend, who still haunts her every thought, wants to join her. Before Britt can explore her feelings for Calvin, an unexpected blizzard forces her to seek shelter in a remote cabin, accepting the hospitality of its two very handsome occupants—but these men are fugitives, and they take her hostage.

In exchange for her life, Britt agrees to guide the men off the mountain. As they set off, Britt knows she must stay alive long enough for Calvin to find her. The task is made even more complicated when Britt finds chilling evidence of a series of murders that have taken place there... and in uncovering this, she may become the killer’s next target.

But nothing is as it seems in the mountains, and everyone is keeping secrets, including Mason, one of her kidnappers. His kindness is confusing Britt. Is he an enemy? Or an ally?

BLACK ICE is New York Times bestselling author Becca Fitzpatrick’s riveting romantic thriller set against the treacherous backdrop of the mountains of Wyoming. Falling in love should never be this dangerous…

Review

Becca Fitzpatrick is one of my favorite YA authors, her writings descriptive, action packed. After reading the Hush Hush series, I knew that Black Ice would be a very good read.

In the past year there have been several incidents where a girl has gone missing and either found dead in the mountains, or is expected to be dead. However, all these incidents have being treated as either accidents or murders. The police have no leads and no one is investigating these mysterious deaths.
Britt has been preparing for her backpacking trip all year, trying to get over being dumped by her best friend Korbie's brother Calvin almost 8 months ago when he left for Stanford and broke up with her over the phone. On the day of the trip she discovers that Calvin will be chaperoning and Britt is excited but dreading it at the same time. She's been hurt by Calvin but she misses him dreadfully too and has no idea what to do about her conflicting emotions. On the way to the mountains, Britt and Korbie are caught in the snow storm and cannot reach their destination. Although Calvin and Korbie's boyfriend are on their way too, Britt is worried that she took a wrong turn and it is very unlikely that they will find them. Looking for shelter, the girls come across two strangers in a cabin, but they have no idea that they are in more danger in the cabin rather than out in the storm.

Becca Fitzpatrick has out done herself, this is a fantastic read, with a teasing romance here and there. Highly Recommended. ...more

Jul 06, 2014 Alyssa rated it really liked it

I'm still debating between 3-4 / 5, so I'll say 3.75/5 for now because the book left me on a happy note.

Maybe it was because I kept seeing "eh, okay" and "did not like" reviews of this that I had such low expectations for this book, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I think I grew more attached the characters than I thought. And the ending just brought my inner fangirl squeal out so kudos for that.

It was always nagging at the back of my head that this is totally case of insta-love (I MEAN, COME ON ...more

Oct 11, 2014 Lauren rated it really liked it

I really liked this mystery/thriller it was fast paced and an easy read. The plot was a bit predictable so I'd actually give it 3.75 stars rounded up to a 4. The only character I hated was Korbie. If you have to question your friendship why would you continue the friendship? Other then her I liked the story. ...more
