Reviews
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 -- Janice Hallett, author of THE APPEAL
Superb. Utterly claustrophobic and chilling, the perfect icy read -- Jo Spain, author of DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS
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 * Sunday Times *
This chilling read is both compelling and claustrophobic * Sun *
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 * Literary Review *
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 -- Harriet Tyce, author of BLOOD ORANGE
Packed with chills and spills, Freeze is a terrifically entertaining thriller with a unique and fascinating setting -- Allie Reynolds, author of SHIVER

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 -- Philippa East, author of LITTLE WHITE LIES
A fab twist on the locked room thriller! -- Tina Baker, author of CALL ME MUMMY
Raced through this transporting thriller, with atmosphere, landscape and cast all compelling and vicious. I was utterly gripped - absolutely loved it -- Rachael Blok, author of THE FALL
