Black Ice - Becca Fitzpatrick

Black Ice is the most recent novel published by the New Yorker Becca Fitzpatrick, as she published it in year 2014.

The book starts with a shortcut of this girl, Lauren, who is drunk and gets into a car with a cowboy as she wants to call attention from his father and brother. However, it does not end as well as she thought it would go as then she is kidnapped and the man kills her.

Then, the author presents us the actual protagonist who is Britt, and who will go on a trip with her best friend to the same place where Lauren was found as she will go on an excursion to the mountains. However, the snow is so powerful that they have to stop and later on, they walk until they find a house with two men, Mason (the good guy) and Shaun (the evil one). They stay there for a while until Shaun decides to kidnap them and have them as a hostage. However, Britt decides to ‘save’ her friend so she keeps herself as a hostage for both men while the friend stays at the house and tries to escape. Later on, Britt and Mason (who already knew themselves before all of this happened) make kind of an alliance and they try (on the sly) try to escape and take Shaun to the police so that he is arrested.

I really liked this book as we will discover complicated secrets which both of them keep and we will be able to know reasons why Mason works for Shaun. Also, we are able to see Britt’s flashbacks and how she feels throughout the story and even that when everything end, they are able to continue having kind of creating a relationship as they have dates (but these are only commented at the end of the book).
