    Nadine Doolittle’s “Iced Over” is not only descriptively well written, the novel is emotionally charged for this reader as she reacted to the darker side of childhood innocence been taken, then battling through to find the truth and closer. I have recommend “Ice Over” to several people.

    I absolutely love this author!
    In addition to stunning imagery and realistic characters, Iced Under has a perfectly constructed and compelling story arc.
    Nadine Doolittle is truly talented and I will be first in line to purchase her next book.

    I received this book as a gift from a friend for Christmas. Once I started reading it I just couldn't put it down.
    The story line just kept me waiting to read more. You were drawn into one area then you were drawn to another. It kept you from guessing the outcome.
    I will definitely be passing this book on to other.
    Well done
