81 posts | 106 read | 76 to read
Ein Jahr nachdem die sechsjhrige Lydia durch einen tragischen Unfall ums Leben kam, sind ihre Eltern Sarah und Angus psychisch am Ende. Um neu anzufangen, ziehen sie zusammen mit Lydias Zwillingsschwester Kirstie auf eine atemberaubend schne Privatinsel der schottischen Hebriden. Doch auch hier finden sie keine Ruhe. Kirstie behauptet steif und fest, sie sei in Wirklichkeit Lydia und die Eltern htten den falschen Zwilling beerdigt. Bald hllen Winternebel die Insel ein, Angus ist beruflich oft abwesend, und bei Sarah schleicht sich das unheimliche Gefhl ein, etwas stimme nicht. Zunehmend fragt sie sich, welches ihrer Mdchen lebt. Als ein heftiger Sturm aufzieht, sind Sarah und Kirstie komplett isoliert und den Geistern der Vergangenheit ausgeliefert.

It was pretty meh to be honest. It could've been so good, I just don't think the story delivered. I absolutely hated the lead character Sarah, couldn't get to grips with her or empathise with her. Could've been creepier.

RaeLovesToRead I was unimpressed with this one too. Interesting premise but wildly unrealistic and I got bored! 3y

Interesting premise but, between plot points, a bit of a snoozefest.

Characters behaved in really implausible ways and were either unconvincing or unlikeable.

Not my cup of tea, sadly.

⭐⭐ 2 stars

BarbaraBB Totally agree 3y
RaeLovesToRead @BarbaraBB I should have listened haha ? At least it's off the TBR... and I've read too many "keepers" recently so it's a chance to declutter! ? 3y

Latest book started... this one has an interesting premise... a couple heartbroken by the loss of one of their twins decides to move to the inner Hebrides - just as they are about to start their new life, their daughter claims that she is the twin that passed away.

Not sure where the story will go, but an intriguing start.

This was a very unrealistic psychological thriller with a very unrealistic mother as the main character. One of het daughters dies, her twin sister is grieving and the mother keeps making all the wrong choices. Annoying and unrealistic. Oh and the father? Annoying too.

#WeeklyForecast 28/21

I am looking forward to making a start with the Lahiri for #CampToB. I have heard many good things. The one in the middle (titled The Crossing in English) is for Timor Leste in #ReadingAsia2021, I am glad to have found a book set there. The tagged one has been on my shelves forever, I thought it‘s time to get rid of it.

Wow! That was a wild ride. I finished it up today and totally lost myself in it. Coming back to reality was not so much fun. This was a thrilling and at times scary ride.

Told from differing perspectives. Identical twins are separated by death. The grief and confusion that comes after causes the family to be torn apart. Which twin lived What are the secrets hiding behind her death?

Good scary story but only a man would write some of the sex scenes!😩. There aren‘t many of those scenes but they don‘t seem to make or break this story about identical twins . One twin dies, the question is which one really does die!😬

Non book related, but my school did theme days for Teacher Appreciation Week. Today we had twin day. My oldest friend and I wore shirts we got made, inspired by so many people confusing us over the years. We ended up teaching together by chance, but we‘ve known each other since we were five.

#StopPublishingShittyAuthors2k18. This book was shit. No mystery, no suspense, no atmosphere, no development, nothing. For a 300 page book, I expect a lot more. The last page was the best thing in the whole fucking story.

There‘s something creepy about twins in thriller/horror stories, like the popular Grady twins. Another is Lydia and Kirstie, the identical twins in the tagged book - when one of the twins died in an accident, the surviving twin terrified the parents by claiming she is the dead twin.

#AChildWithTheGhost#NUYear
I went to my GR read list and found this book, which was suitably creepy and it's not clear if the mother is imagining a haunting or its a child who is the spook.
I remember enjoying the story.

Cathythoughts Yes I read & liked this too. Beautiful setting , in Scotland. Eerie ! Strange twist at the end. Great choice here 👍🏻 7y

This was a fast-paced, creepy book! The basic idea is that a year before the book starts, one of this couple‘s 6-year-old identical twin daughters died in an accident. Now, the living daughter is starting to say and do unsettling things and the parents aren‘t sure which daughter actually died. Spooky premise! If you don‘t overthink some of the less realistic plot points, you will probably enjoy the ride!

Hooked_on_books I agree—this one was definitely creepy. 7y

Whatever I said or felt about this book initially, I take it all back.
I went looking for new reading material because I was bored with my usual, and I picked this up because it looked interesting and something out of the ordinary. As I began reading, I started expecting a lame take on the "Mistaken Identity" trope. I was also miffed beacuse I felt that the author didn't differentiate enough between the POV's personalities.
I love being mistaken.

"Josh was the only man who had seen Angus really cry about his dead daughter; one dark, terrifying evening, when the nightflower of anguish had opened, and bloomed."

I'm glad I like the story, because this kind of writing is a bit over the top for me when it's as unconsistent as it is in this book. But the story is intriguing and the landscape is interesting, so I'm gonna see it through?

Hmm, an interesting concept that never quite gave me the chills that I was expecting and wanting. The twins connection was, as ever, intriguing but there were so many subplots and suppositions that I did become a little bemused by it all. I didn't feel much for either parent but Lydia and Kirstie had my whole-hearted attention and sympathy.

MrBook Great review! 😊👍🏻 8y

Listened on audio. Should have done print bc the Scottish accents and weird place names were difficult for me. I was hooked on the story of these mysterious twins; one of which is dead, but which one? I did feel misled purposefully several times by the author. And I didn't like either of the parents; they both made really bad decisions. Some bad grammar drove me crazy too. ⭐⭐⭐

I do not read psychological thrillers often, however, when I do, I enjoy them and 'The Ice Twins' is one of the best thrillers I have read. The style of writing is engrossing, the characters well written, so much so, I went through different emotions concerning Sarah and Angus, who was lying and who was telling truth? The isolation of cottage is vividly shown, you feel like you are there with the family. I could not stop reading this book.
