Synopsis: 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.

• The Ice Twins is a thriller about Angus and Sarah Moorcroft and their twin daughters. They seem to had the perfect marriage with precious twins. However, one of the young daughters Lydia dies in an accident, now their surviving daughter Kristie claims she is actually the deceased twin Lydia. Now, as winter approaches Sarah is stuck on an island during a storm with her daughter. She must confront what really happened on the day one of her daughters died..

• The character Angus and Sarah are both flawed characters, they're not as likable as one would prefer, although Angus is more preferable than Sarah. They lost one of their twin daughters in an accident, and they're having doubts about their marriage. Previously, they were in doubts although, things had gotten much more worse between them. A lack of communication and barriers have come into their suffering marriage. One of my favorite aspects of the novel was the parent's feelings, their insecurities and loneliness are getting the worst out of them and the novel portrayed it well. There are itty bitty parts of the romance, but the actual plot revolves around the remaining twin Kristie. My favorite character is Kristie, the child is creepy yet she sounds fascinating. At times, the reader can feel sympathetic towards the child, but then again you can get creeped out by her. They say children don't really lie..

• AT first, the pacing of The Ice Twins is a bit slow, but then it does speed up eventually. I'm not sure I understood exactly what happened in the end, it wasn't executed poorly though, but some answers were left unanswered. The psychological aspect of the novel was intriguing enough, it is a suspenseful novel, and the thrill feeling is definitely there.  It is definitely a creepy novel, imagine your child told you she wasn't the one who you thought was supposedly alive? The actual plot of the book was exciting and one of my favorite concepts in books, there's not many books written on twins so it's always interesting to read about them. The writing is compelling and atmospheric - this novel gives you the creep. It's a compelling thriller that keeps on your toes. It does have plenty of potential, and I did enjoy the novel for the most part. I would rate this novel 3 butterflies.
