Most of the story takes place on a cold and icy mountain, but it is unclear which specific mountain it is. Britt and her friend Korbie are going to Korbie’s brother, Calvin’s house. Or, more like his dad’s house. Calvin is Britt’s ex and she wants to show him up. She has read and taken classes on hiking in mountains and she wants to show that she is better than him and is over him. But, before she can reach the cabin, she finds another cabin that is not Calvin’s. It has two men, and soon enough, Korbie and she are hostages. They must find their way out and be smart about their decisions.
This book is definitely one of the best ones I have ever read. There is really not much I can say that states anything bad about the book. Even from the first sentence, any reader is hooked on. I enjoyed reading this book, and I recommend it to any teen reader that likes mystery or adventure books. Out of 10, I would rate this book 10. I loved it, and hope that other people read it also.
One memorable thing about Black Ice is that it hooks you in and you just have to keep reading. A lot of times, my parents had to force me to put the book away, and I just kept reading. The ending is also very realistic, but I cannot tell it. I hope other people read it and love it also.

ABOUT … Adrienne, Teen Librarian & Digital Media Lab Librarian at Libbie Mill Library.
Hi, I’m Adrienne, and I’ve been a Teen Librarian at HCPL since 2006. I started at Twin Hickory and moved to Libbie Mill in 2015. Come visit our Teen Room and check out all we have for you -- books, great study and hanging out space, free computers, free classes in 3D design & printing, Coding, Photoshop and soooo much more!
Random stuff about me:
* Favorite book: Hmmmm, this is hard, since it changes all the time as I read new stuff and depending on what mood I’m in. However, there is one book that I know will still make me snort with laughter even when I’m 80 years old — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
* Favorite food: perfectly made toast
* Favorite band/music: Cake. I will never get enough Cake.
* Favorite reference question: Q: How long does it take the galaxy to rotate once? A: It’s called a galactic or cosmic year and it takes about 225-250 million earth years.
* Pets: I have two cats and a dog. Marcus and Grey are the cats who were rescued from a box in the woods when they were just little puffballs. When they are not acting insane, they are very sweet and purr loudly. My dog is named Peter and he's a medium size poodle mix (we call him the substandard poodle). He's got floppy ears, snores and loves green beans.
