Black Ice Review
Black Ice-
*Contains a few spoilers*
Officially finished Black Ice yesterday, and I have to say, it was really great!
I'm not a big fan of reading supernatural love stories (even though I'm down for just about any vampire show on TV), so when I initially started the Hush Hush series, I was a little apprehensive. But Becca Fitzpatrick just has this way of drawing you into the world of her characters, and inevitably you become hooked.
Black Ice is NOT a supernatural book, but it is equally thrilling. It was so great to see strong female character (Britt) that equally vulnerable to what was happening. Mason was extremely likeable from the start, and although the twist in the book wasn't completely out of the blue, it did add a lot of suspense to the book.
I would have liked to know a little more about Mason's family/background (besides his sister obviously). But every time I wasn't reading this book, I was thinking about it!
Definitely worth a read!

GUYS. It's official.
I'M A PUBLISHED AUTHOR. I know. Crazy.
The 15 year old version of me, who sat in my room late at night and obsessed over a 300 page word document, would never have believed that this could be a reality. But it is, and here we are!
It has been officially one week since Lucky Me released, and the excitement hasn't died down at all. The final few days leading up to the launch were filled with lots of celebrations, anticipation and even a lot of tears when my official launch party sort of fell apart last minute. But you know what? My book is out there now, for the world to see. And it feels...bizarre. Good, but bizarre. Maybe I'll always see it as a word document instead of a proper novel.
In many ways, this book shaped who I am today. I wrote it during a time when I didn't feel happy, and writing through the eyes of a fictional character helped me escape for a while. That's the beauty of story-telling. You can travel the world without ever looking up from a page.
Lucky Me brought me a lot of smiles while writing it, so I sincerely hope it does the same for you if you choose to read it. It's funny and silly and a little nutty, but it has a lot of heart. My heart. I am so grateful that I can share a piece of it with you.
