Thriller Psychological
Sarah and Angus Moorcroft had a charmed life. They were
both
successful in their own right and owned a beautiful home
in
London. Angus is Scottish and Sarah is half-English and
half-American. For a time, they were happily married. They
had twin daughters who were blonde, blue-eyed and
exquisite.
Life was good for the most part.
Until the day of the tragic accident that left one six
year
old twin dead and the other one greatly confused as to
which
twin she actually is.
Thirteen months later, when Angus inherits Torran Island;
he
and Sarah make the decision to move there with their
surviving twin. It is their chance to start over again.
However, neither of them is prepared for the isolation
that
goes along with the beauty of the island. They are also
not
prepared for the ghosts that follow them there.
THE ICE TWINS is the perfect book to read on a dark,
stormy
night. The atmosphere of the story will have you feel as
if
you see something in every shadow. You will want to turn
on
the lights and keep them that way long after you have read
the last page of this sad and terrible tale.
I was riveted to THE ICE TWINS almost from the beginning.
S.
K. Tremayne has crafted one of the most beautiful and
horrific stories that I have ever had the pleasure of
reading. I was placed firmly there on that desolate and
beautiful island right alongside the Moorcrofts as they
did
their best to carve out a new life for their family and
revive their love for each other. The terror that they
endured became mine.
If you like your books up high on the scary meter, THE ICE
TWINS is for you. Just remember that nothing is as it
seems.
There are more twists and turns than you can imagine.
There
will be moments when you think you have it all figured
out,
and you will be wrong. The ending of THE ICE TWINS is
shattering and completely unexpected, and it will be one
that you never saw coming.
You are going to love it!
SUMMARY
In the tradition of The Girl on the Train comes the UK
bestseller THE ICE TWINS, a terrifying psychological
thriller with a twisting plot worthy of Gillian Flynn. One of Sarah's daughters died. But can she be sure which
one? A year after one of their identical twin daughters, Lydia,
dies in an accident, Angus and Sarah Moorcroft move to the
tiny Scottish island Angus inherited from his grandmother,
hoping to put together the pieces of their shattered
lives. But when their surviving daughter, Kirstie, claims they
have
mistaken her identity--that she, in fact, is Lydia--their
world comes crashing down once again. As winter encroaches, Angus is forced to travel away from
the island for work, Sarah is feeling isolated, and
Kirstie
(or is it Lydia?) is growing more disturbed. When a
violent
storm leaves Sarah and her daughter stranded, they are
forced to confront what really happened on that fateful
day.
