The Ice Twins (Wheeler Large Print Book Series), by S. K. Tremayne Review "'The Ice Twins' is by turns a thriller, a mystery and a ghost story. Tremayne, the pseudonym for a London journalist and best-selling novelist, melds all these ingredients, coming up with enough twists, insights and chilly moments to make the story his - or her? - own and to keep a hungry reader savoring every spoonful. . . . A story set on an island known informally as Thunder deserves a thundering finish, which Tremayne deftly serves up, along with a touching coda that would play well on film."―Washington Post"The family Moorcroft has taken up residence in a remote corner of Scotland not unlike The Shining's isolated Colorado mountains. It's a suitably eerie setting for the haunting incidents that transpire after one of the family's 6-year-old identical twins falls to her death."―O Magazine, "The Season's Best Mysteries and Thrillers""Will have you binge-reading to the end."―Redbook"The death of one of the twin daughters of Sarah and Angus Moorcroft jump-starts this superb tale...Tremayne effectively delivers a psychological gothic thriller with supernatural overtones while avoiding clichés. Grief's debilitating effects on children and adults further elevate this gripping story."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)"The chilling story of the death of one identical twin sister and the effect that it has on her family. . . . Filled with secrets and lies, this gripping psychological thriller will keep readers absorbed until the final page."―Library Journal"Tremayne (a pseudonym) does a terrific job of building suspense until events reach their climax in the midst of a violent storm."―Library Journal"Unbearably gripping and suspenseful."―Sophie Hannah, internationally bestselling author of The Wrong Mother and The Dead Lie Down"Richly evocative and profoundly eerie, The Ice Twins is a mesmerizing story of grief, loss and betrayal set against a backdrop that's as beautiful as it is haunted, just like the tragic family at the story's center."―Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia"The next Gone Girl . . . [An] eerie literary spine-chiller."―Sunday Times Travel Magazine (U.K.)"With its creepy premise and bleak but beautiful settings, S. K. Tremayne has created a haunting, powerful thriller."―Paula Daly, author of Just What Kind of Mother Are You?"Chilling and utterly compulsive . . . As the action plays out in the claustrophobic confines of the cold, creepy island, it builds to an incredibly tense and shiver inducing conclusion."―The Sunday Mirror (UK)"Very eerie."―Marie Claire (UK)"A tense psychological thriller that builds with every page."―The Sunday Post (UK)"Stunning."―The Mail on Sunday (UK)"Beautiful paced, teeming with psychological shivers, The Ice Twins is a notable debut."―The Times (UK)"The Ice Twins has grip, pace and bags of atmosphere... It also has one of the cleverest endings of recent thrillers."―Sunday Times (UK)"Strange and moving.... complex and dramatic... The advantages and hardships of island life are well depicted and the Gothic old is suitably creepy."―Sunday Herald (UK)"A knife-sharp debut thriller . . . Gripping, sad and desperately poignant, this is a debut to die for."―The Daily Mail (UK)

Unique, Unsettling Family Drama By Irish Sarah and Angus, parents of Lydia and Kirstie, two blonde haired, blue eyed twins, notably called, The Ice Twins, must grapple with the reality that one twin has died in a terrible fall from a balcony. The Ice Twins takes the reader on a twisted ride of twin psychology, parental angst, marriage deterioration and more on a small remote island in Scotland. This is a very mysterious story that unfolds slowly while everyone begins to fall apart at the seams though the story takes place a year after the death of the little girl. There is a lot of fascinating psychology in this book, such as why does the dog, Beany, behave differently between the twins and why does he act a certain way with the surviving twin? There is some good stuff in this book. The twin aspect I found to be super interesting. In this story, they are identical and hard to distinguish.While reading this book, I found there is no one to trust in the story making it very unsettling. The surviving twin seems to be self combusting while the parents try to amble along to find remedies, solutions, justifications and blame for all of their problems which begin to have a very claustrophobic feel due to their decision to move to the lighthouse island to an aged house that once belonged to Angus's grandmother. Once there, things really go haywire. Is the kid having an identity crisis? Maybe she is being haunted? Or, is her behavior based on more sinister happenings within the family?Angus and Sarah are facing some serious troubles in their marriage. You get alternating viewpoints and narration throughout the book from Sarah and Angus who don't really communicate well to each other due to the loss of their daughter and other events. It's hard to believe either one of their stories and you never know if either is telling the truth.This is a pretty good, taunt psychological mystery. I was interested, intrigued and creeped out by The Ice Twins. I found Tremayne's writing to be very good and I would read future books by this author. This story was well done and, for a nice change, I was glad to hit on a good mystery that combined psychological twists with a great setting and well distinguished characters. The story didn't bore me with too many side or back stories and endless details. Well done.

Harris With more limited time, I've gotten really selective about what I choose to read these days. Something has to really grab me in the book's description to get me to sign on for the commitment. And I have to say, when I read the synopsis and blurbs advertising S.K. Tremayne's "The Ice Twins," I simply had to take the chance. Billed as a psychological thriller, "The Ice Twins" deals with a family in crisis. When one of a pair of identical twins dies in an awful accident, what toll does it take on her parents? On her remaining sibling? And what if the surviving daughter suddenly claimed she was the girl who had died and you had no real way to be sure? It's an unnerving and disturbing premise. I was simply in love with the idea of "The Ice Twins."Getting into the book, we meet Angus and Sarah Moorcroft a year after the terrible event. Still trying to figure things out, the couple are seeking a new start. Angus has a property in Scotland, a secluded island with primitive living conditions, and they see the renovation as a way to start rebuilding their lives. As any tragedy would influence, the couple has a somewhat strained relationship and each are rather tentative with one another. But the quiet truce (their marriage wasn't exactly pitch perfect before the accident) is suddenly disturbed when Sarah figures out about the possible mistaken identity. Should she keep it a secret? And Angus seems to be harboring secrets of his own. As the family starts living the island life, tensions start to rise. The girl is disturbed by visions of her sister, Sarah is still wracked with guilt and grief, and Angus still has those aforementioned secrets. I won't reveal much more of the plot, but the story unfolds in a multi-layered way and we're never quite sure where we are headed.Part Gothic thriller, part domestic drama, part ghost story, "The Ice Twins" proceeds with an ominous tone. Whatever has destroyed the family can only be set right by the truth. But who exactly knows the whole truth? By the time we get to the suspicions and shattering revelations, I started to realize one thing. Despite how much I liked the story's premise, I just wasn't emotionally invested in the outcome. The recriminations from the day, the guilt, and daily struggles of the family are well depicted. I just didn't really care much for the Moorcroft clan and felt a chilly distance."The Ice Twins" does really succeed in making the isolated setting an integral character to the piece. And in describing the small Scottish community, Tremayne makes it come to life. I simply wanted to love this book, but merely liked it. When some of the secrets and suspicions started to surface, I wasn't particularly surprised. One, in particular, made me cringe. Some of the startling revelations seemed like fodder for a lurid soap opera. Nothing is more devastating than the loss of a child. I guess I wanted to feel more of that as I connected with the characters. This might have had the potential to rip your heart out and leave you emotionally bereft. Instead, it never dug deeply enough. Lots of potential, but instead of a big finish, the ending left me feeling a little apathetic. KGHarris, 5/15.
21 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Creepy and Compelling By Cynthia Parten I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my review.This was such a gripping story. It was also very creepy. Am I the only one who finds identical twin children just a bit on the creepy side? Maybe it isn't all twins; maybe it's just these. I guarantee that you will be as creeped out as I was. The book begins approximately fourteen months after one of their twin girls dies in a tragic fall from a balcony. Sarah and Angus believe that the girl who died was Lydia, until one day when she says "Why do you keeping calling me Kirstie, Mummy? Kirstie is dead. It was Kirstie that died, I'm Lydia." And with that statement, Sarah's life comes crumbling down and the mystery begins. Because the girls were identical twins with matching DNA, it's impossible to do a scientific test to know for sure. So Sarah is plagued with questions. What if she made a horrible mistake? What if Kirstie is trying to deal with her grief by becoming her sister? How well does she actually know her children Now it is tough to write the surviving twin's name because there is so much back and forth and so much confusion. I don't want to give away any major spoilers, so I will just stick to calling her "Kirstie" in my review.Sarah makes some questionable decisions when Kirstie makes this statement such as ignoring it. Then she tries to placate her and give her what she wants, even if she doesn't believe Kirstie is telling the truth. I can forgive these decisions though because of all the grief and shame that she is feeling. Meanwhile Sarah and Angus move to a remote island in Scotland for a fresh start and the creepiness factor increases by a thousand. Suddenly, Kirstie starts seeing her dead sister's ghost and Sarah becomes even more disturbed and more convinced that her daughter is losing her mind. But this was such a well written mystery that it was hard to figure out who was going crazy: Sarah, Kirstie, or even Angus, who is hiding some secrets of his own. The mystery of which twin dies unravels to its climax, where a bigger mystery is revealed: the mystery of what really happened the night Lydia died. The author writes of the unpredictable, ferocious Scottish winter and the isolation of the island with such vividness and intensity that I could swear I was right there. The remoteness of the island just adds to the creepy factor. This is an amazingly haunting, suspenseful mystery that will keep you up just so you can find out what happened.
