Girl In Ice by Erica Ferencik

A young girl is found encased in a solid wall of ice in remote Greenland. She is brought back to life incredibly and starts babbling in a language no one understands. This is the perfect opportunity for Val who is a linguist specializing in dead Nordic languages and gives her a chance to see the research location where her twin brother recently took his own life. As appealing as this opportunity is there is a downside - Val's crippling anxiety. It is a small research team that she is working with in Greenland and they have a very short window to complete their research and solve the mystery of the girl before months of winter set in. The girl's Frankenstein rebirth is fascinating but Val begins to suspect the group leader of something more sinister. While Val falls for frustrated and sad Sigrid and begins to find a way of communicating she also wants to figure out if her brother's suicide wasn't something else. The perfect taunt read for a cold winter's night and one that hits all the right thriller notes - a remote site, a strange mystery with a hint of ancient magic, a fragile yet super tough female protagonist fighting for her sanity and a mesmerizing alien landscape. Anyone who is curious of just what it takes to be an Arctic explorer/scientist or love the mysteries of doomed expeditions such as the Endurance will find much to love here. A big bonus are the vocabulary words found in other tribal languages that the author shares.  4 stars
