A review by reneeshantel
The Ice Twins by S.K. Tremayne
3.0
I really wanted to love this novel. Really, I did. I love twins. I love creepy. And the blurb drew me right in and made me love my idea of what this book was going to be.
But it just. didn't. get there.
There were things about it that I did love. I loved the psychology involved, and that every few chapters I found myself believing a different truth. I loved the setting, on a little island with barely any phone reception. But honestly, these were pretty much the only things I loved.
I found the characters...annoying. I wanted to sympathise with Sarah, but it was hard when every other line she made me want to bang my head against the wall. There was no hope for Gus. I just...hated every minute he was on the page. Even Kirstie/Lydia got on my nerves most of the time, and that made me sad. I struggled to get through the book just so I could find out who she really was and what truly happened, and I was left feeling pretty underwhelmed in the end.
If the blurb is something that catches your interest, I would recommend giving the book a read. But I can't say that this one was much to my taste.
