Cold as Hell (Haven's Rock #3) by Kelley Armstrong
My
Thoughts:
Cold as Hell is the third book in the Haven’s Rock
series that’s best read in order. Better yet, go back and start with the
original series: Rockton. Like Rockton was (or claimed to be) Haven’s Rock is a
place of refuge for those on the run. A community off the grid and under the
radar. A place for someone trying to escape a whole range of situations: a
stalker, abusive partner, or an unjust conviction. Applicants are vetted for
violence risk, meaning someone who poses a threat to others will not be
admitted.
In this installment, Eric and Casey are getting ready for
the birth of their baby, excited and nervous as the due date approaches when one
of their members is drugged and narrowly escapes abduction. They’re both
shocked and relieved, because it could’ve turned out so much worse, yet now
they know there’s a predator in their midst. Their vetting process is better
than Rockton’s, so they wonder how this could be. While investigating another
woman goes missing with deadlier results.
Cold as Hell is one you want to make some time for because
you’re not going to want to put it down! I love the methodical way Casey and
Eric go over each mystery, checking and re-checking the facts and witness
accounts. The devil is in the details! With this case the murderer is a special
kind of evil and I was so worried for everyone involved! The ending was a nail-biter,
and I stayed up late to finish! That last bit, how everything finally resolved
was gratifying! Maybe that makes me a bit ruthless, but that needed to be done!
I’ve alternately read and listened to the entire series (and
bought the hardcovers to keep on my shelf!) and I recommend either version. Thérèse
Plummer narrates the audios and they are fantastic! She seamlessly performs
both male and female characters and infuses them with just the right emotions
bringing the story to life!

Book Description:
New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong returns to Haven’s Rock in Cold as Hell as Casey Butler hunts down a dangerous killer during a deadly blizzard.
Haven’s Rock is a sanctuary town hidden deep in the Yukon for those who need to disappear from the regular world. Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, are starting a family now that they’ve settled into their life here. As Casey nears the end of her pregnancy, she lets nothing, including her worried husband, stop her from investigating what happens in the forbidden forest outside the town of Haven’s Rock.
When one of the town's residents is drugged and wanders too close to the edge of town, she’s dragged into the woods kicking and screaming. She’s saved in the nick of time, but the women of the town are alarmed. Casey and Eric investigate the assault just as a snowstorm hits Haven’s Rock, covering the forest. It’s there they find a frozen body, naked in the snow. With mixed accounts of the woman's last movements, the two begin to question who they can trust—and who they can't—in their seemingly safe haven.
