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.
Black Ice tells the story from Britt's point of view, a girl that wants to spend spring break hiking mountains with her best friend Korbie in order to impress her ex boyfriend Colin. While these two girls are on their way to the mountain, their car breaks down and the girls decide to look for shelter until they come across Shaun and Mason. Mason is against the girls setting foot in their cabin but Shaun is more than happy to welcome them in. Little do Britt and Korbie know, Shaun is dangerous and takes them as hostages.
Black Ice came with unexpected twists. While it does have moments that are expected and the reader can tell what's going to happen, it still manages to surprise the reader and leave them hanging. Unfortunately, I got spoiled so I knew who the bad guy was in this story but I still wanted to read it because I knew there were still surprises and twists. I'm so glad I finished the book because I enjoyed it a lot.
The first part of the book is very slow and dragging, which led me to stop reading for a while but once I got spoiled, I started to read Black Ice again and the pace picks up but it slows down then goes back up again, which is why I give this story 3.5 stars.
The character I loved the most was Mason/Jude. I believe he should have approached the situation in a better way since the beginning but desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm not saying that staying by Shaun's side was the right decision but he wanted justice and justice he got!
I recommend this story to any YA fan that loves suspense, mystery and romance involved. Let's face it. Romance in a mystery novel highs up the ranks!
