Review Detail

“If I love him, the right thing to do is let him go. And hope that wherever he goes, he doesn’t remember that I didn’t love him enough to leave him in peace in the first place.” ~ Wren

At first glance, Cold Kiss looks just like most of the other paranormal romance books. But really, it isn’t. It’s amazing, unique, and a definite must read.

Wren was my ideal protagonist; Sarcastic, fun, yet strong and passionate. The way she held herself together despite everything that happened was amazing, and that’s definitely something we can all look up to. She’s… just awesome, you know? And everything she does makes sense. Being someone that lost her best friend in an accident a few years ago, I can easily relate to Wren. Though I wasn’t romantically involved or anything, I can understand what she went through. If I had her ability, I might’ve done the same thing.

The author’s writing is beautiful, the emotions well portrayed. I felt that some of the less vital characters, Gabriel in particular, lacked a strong back-story. However, since this story’s for Wren and Danny, not about Gabriel, Wren’s dad, etc, I think it’s okay. The character’s decisions, however strange it may be, made sense – even Wren’s decision to bring Danny back – and we got a clear back-story on Wren and Danny, which was really the major points.

I have to admit I cried towards the end. Not convinced? Read the quote above. It was an emotional roller-coaster the whole way through. I’d be laughing at something Wren said on one page, then, being the emotional person I am, would be holding back tears over something that happened on the next page. It was a emotion evoking, wonderful read.

I actually wouldn’t consider it a paranormal story. It was more of a contemporary story, with just dabbles of paranormal on the side (zombies). It’s beautiful, heartbreaking, and it sticks with you long after you’ve finished reading. I’d recommend this to anyone in search of a good story, and I hope that the author decides to write more. Love zombies? Give this book a try. Don’t like zombies? Give this book a try. Really, it’s that good.
