Welcome to Litsy!

This was a bit out there. A mix of horror and fantasy trying to pretend like it's sci fi. A scientist in Greenland unfreezes a young girl who turns out to be alive and ancient. They need to learn her language to uncover her secrets. It was entertaining for a couple of hours.

I'm currently in CPH waiting for a flight and I don't think this book is leaving DK.

Val is the narrator of the book . She has come to Greenland, where her brother died, to learn how to communicate with a girl who had been frozen and successfully thawed and revitalized. Val has a difficult time with language the girl speaks, it is not what she expects it to be, it is far older. The writing is good, the other characters believable. Each character has struggled with death. I felt the cold of Greenland as I read. I enjoyed it

Just started this today & it reminds me of an 80‘s movie with Timothy Hutton & John Lone, Iceman. A girl is found frozen in ice in Greenland. She thaws out. So far it‘s quite good.

Ahhhhh, my #WinterWonderlandSwap! We had company for a long New Year‘s weekend, which was fabulous, but they‘re gone now & we‘re finally getting back to normal. I always get a little melancholy after the holidays, so it was lovely to open this today. You found a velvet headband! The books are perfect, and we too love that brand of K Cups—and I haven‘t had the winter blend before. It‘s a terrific choice! Thanks so much, @Kshakal !

I enjoyed the combo of linguistics, anthropology, environmental science, and suspense/thriller. But I felt some character traits and relationships revealed at the end did not have their foundation laid through out the book. Spoiler in the comments.

Happy Book Lovers day! Perfect lunch spot ☀️

Still working on a couple things, and while the tagged wasn‘t bad, it was hard to suspend belief and simply enjoy the plot. Slow pace didn‘t help. We have a stereotypical mad scientist, his enigmatic assistant, the divers, and our linguist, who‘s troubled, lonely, and grieving. The secret to why the frozen girl revived was hard to believe and the ending wasn‘t the strongest. Interesting concept though.

A linguist is sent to Greenland to help translate a girl that was thawed from a block of ice, the same place that her twin brother dead under interesting circumstances.
It was a great idea, and I could not stop reading, but the plot was slow and the story line of why the brother died was just brushed aside and the reasoning behind the girl coming back to life after being frozen was so implausible.

Girl In Ice is my second Erica Ferencik book and so far I'm 2/2 in absolutely loving them. The author drops the reader into an uncomfortable and somewhat crazy environment. I felt like I was truly in the icy weather of Greenland when reading this book. The ending of this book was an unputdownable, anxiety inducing, thrill ride. I have an absolute blast with these books, a perfect mix of mostly credibility with a dash of magical realism.

I was thinking about this book even when pesky life things (job, sleep) kept me from reading it this week. I finished this morning and I feel like I got off the tilt-a-whirl, what a ride! The cover blurb calls it “Original, intense, powerful, disturbing, and utterly mesmerizing,” and I couldn‘t agree more, and I‘d add “atmospheric.” I would advise anyone who wants to add this to their TBR to plan to stay up past their bedtime to read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I liked it but not a book that I would read many times. It has closure but somehow I‘m unsatisfied. I really want Val to work more on her mental health.

I said brrr, It‘s cold in here! Val is an anxiety-fighting linguist grappling with the suicide of her twin Andy, when fellow scientist Wyatt calls for help. In Greenland. He claims to have thawed a native girl from ice who speaks an unknown language. Cue the cocoa! Everything about this book is chilling - from the location, to the cold demeanor of some characters, to the biting plot. 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞, 𝐲‘𝐚𝐥𝐥. ScrappyMags.com full review

Ferencik‘s 3rd thriller takes place primarily on a remote island off the coast of Greenland. Linguist Val arrives, despite her crippling anxiety, to learn more about the death of her twin brother months earlier & to assist in translating the mysterious language of the titular young girl the research team thawed alive from the ice. Fast-paced & not always believable, this still makes for an exciting wintry read! The environmental thread works well!

Perfect weekend thriller by an excellent author.

I‘m on the fence about this one, but it leans more to a so-so for me. Billed as a thriller/suspense, I‘d also call it science fiction as well as environmental. That‘s a mouthful. 😂 Val is an anxiety-suffering linguist who steps out of her comfort zone to journey to a remote research station in the Arctic Circle where her twin brother committed suicide five months earlier. She is tasked with trying to communicate with an 8 yo girl who has been 🔻

Here is my January book for #WickedWords by @AsYouWish 🥶 The words are:
SNOW
CHALET
BLUE
WINTER
NEW
I don‘t have anything on my TBR with those exact words;however, a blue cover with a girl frozen in ice is pretty thematic 😂 She is found somewhere in the Artic frozen alive and when she thaws out, she speaks! No one understands her language so they find a professor to help figure it out. Diving in today while enjoying my 85 degree weather 😎
