As the Arctic ice closes in around them and all chance of escape is cut off, it becomes clear that although the world outside wants them dead, it's the secrets inside the ship that might cost them their lives.Packed with suspense from the first page to the last, Freeze is a must-read for fans of Shiver, The Sanatorium and One By One.

Recenzii

Don't be fooled by the title - this murder mystery is sizzling hot. Brimming with stone cold secrets, shocking lies and twists that hit like an arctic winter. Simants has sculpted a breathtaking thriller out of pure ice
Superb. Utterly claustrophobic and chilling, the perfect icy read
Simants uses her knowledge of the industry to spill the secrets of a reality TV show set in the Arctic. The characters are deliciously over-the-top and bicker constantly. When it turns out there's a killer on board, Simants turns a traditional crime plot to very modern effect
This chilling read is both compelling and claustrophobic
This novel has a lot to offer. It moves fast, the tension is high and the two main characters are likeable in their different ways
Brilliant - creepily atmospheric and incredibly tense. The characterisation is fantastic and it cuts as cold as the Arctic in which it's set. Highly recommended
Packed with chills and spills, Freeze is a terrifically entertaining thriller with a unique and fascinating setting
This book has everything - weather that can kill you, an under-equipped ship stuck in a storm, a cast of people who all have secrets and element of their past they don't want revealed. I loved it
Plenty of drama, plenty of tension, plenty of twists... The realism and authenticity of someone who knows TV production inside out shone through to make this thrilling novel unique. Will definitely give you chills
The ice at the top of the world is the perfect setting - a locked room mystery where the room itself is lethal. A twisting character-driven thriller where hidden pasts are exposed in the present, provoking deadly intentions and deadlier misunderstandings
Heart-pumping and super-engaging, with a brilliant setting and cast of characters. The twists and turns kept me guessing throughout and I raced through the pages to the clever and satisfying climax
A fab twist on the locked room thriller!
Raced through this transporting thriller, with atmosphere, landscape and cast all compelling and vicious. I was utterly gripped - absolutely loved it
Simants has given the locked room mystery a reality-show makeover in this cracking thriller. Superbly plotted with an ice-cold killer stalking the ship-bound contestants, Freeze will chill you to your bones
As a former Big Brother constant this book really hit home. Reality TV meets a gripping locked room murder. As addictive as any reality TV show and utterly chilling
I absolutely loved Freeze. Chilling in every sense of the word
A tour de force; a brilliantly handled, gripping locked-room thriller of great scope, with deeply human characters that leap off the page and brain-popping twists
A reality TV show set in formidable Arctic conditions offers a fresh and enticing setting. The book's expert pacing will keep readers guessing right up to the end
A fast-paced and vividly written thriller full of darkness and suspicion. Superb!
Simants gets under the skin of her characters with such humanity yet never fails to deliver the twists and tension. A wild ride of a thriller in an incredible setting
Biting and atmospheric, Freeze is the ultimate locked-room mystery, where the breathless intensity increases as the temperature plummets. Frostbite-inducingly chilling!
A fantastic premise of a TV show on a boat in the Arctic with a killer onboard. So well done and such a good thriller. Loved it
Freeze brings on board unreliable characters, extreme challenges and bitter rivalries - the classic elements of a reality TV show also form the claustrophobic setting for an intense showdown
Had me gripped from the first page... fast-paced, compelling and deeply entertaining. Highly recommend
Brilliant! A propulsive thrill ride from Kate Simants. I loved Freeze, an original, quirky, super fun locked room mystery guaranteed to give you chills
Chilling and unpredictable, Freeze is a thriller that seizes you in its icy grip... Dark, moving and utterly gripping
Chilling and twisting
Simants has put all the elements together for a nail-biting thriller... Plenty of suspense and a story with several layers that keep the novel interesting
With female friendship, toxic masculinity, eco responsibility, obsession, celebrity, secrets, lies and bodies piling up, this is a vividly intricate, at times blackly comic, character-led drama. Propulsive and engaging, the characters come to life and the setting is so richly drawn, you feel you are right on the boat
Fizzing with excitement and tension
