Thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I read the first two chapters and was going to not read any further but I hate to give up on a book or an author so I struggled through. This book has gut-wrenching feelings involved. Each person struggles with how they deal with the stages of grief and yet remain strong for each other. I think, in the end, that is the answer. By moving forward. You know tomorrow is coming and it can't be the same so you pick yourself up (or a friend picks you up) and you find something to look forward to. This is without a doubt a heavy boot read.

Icy Roads by JL Canfield is an interesting book about an accident that brings to light horrible infidelity. Ms Canfield writes with much emotional tension and heartbreak. I really loved most of this book. I only gave it two stars because of her decision to use inappropriate, unnecessary erotic elements. It honestly was not necessary because the book really stood well on its own. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of Icy Roads from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Good book! It took a while for the. truth to come out, but this was an interesting read. Janet was a super sweet character, who really did not deserve the hand she was dealt. I felt a sinister satisfaction with many of the other elements of this novel, however. Parts of the book did not seem 100% smooth, but this might be expected from a fairly a new author--and I just loved the storyline. Well worth the read!

Thank you to NetGalley and J.L. Canfield for the ARC!

This book is full of emotions and suspense. It is very well written and will keep you turning the pages. The author did an excellent job of showing how one lie can destroy lives. Thank you BooksGoSocial via NetGalley for the free copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Interesting take on an auto accident and it's effects on everyone involved including their family and friends. One friend, the investigating officer just happens to be a friend of the driver of the car that caused the accident. I think we just never think of the effect that investigating an auto accident that results in fatalities, has on the authorities involved. It was hard to read about the injuries caused by careless driving on icy roads. Sad story, but uplifting also, reading about the ultimate acceptance of what occurred and the changes that started to take place with the survivors. Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the opportunity to read the advanced copy..

The book “Icy Roads” shows the reader that life is as slippery as an “Icy Road” once one starts down a road of lies. It is a story of friendship and betrayal that will keep the reader turning pages trying to find out what happens next.

Paul and Ursula are involved in a serious car accident leaving Paul severely injured and Ursula almost dead.

The setting takes place mainly at the hospital, with the book centering around the relationships between Paul, Janet and their friends who are horrified at learning the truth about Paul and Janet’s relationship.

The novel is about friendship, betrayal and forgiveness. It also has a strong religious theme running through it.

Fast read. Story moved quickly. Nice book.

Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

This suspenseful novel will keep you on your toes and make you think. Canfield presents us with two different viewpoints and makes us question both. The writing is descriptive, and the topic is intriguing. I can't say enough good things about this book!

Great read. The author wrote a story that was interesting and moved at a pace that kept me engaged. The characters were easy to invest in.
