The Coldest Touch

"This was basically the queer version of Twilight. I found it so enjoyable and hard to put down. I loved all the characters and the fact that it wasn't an entirely happy ending. I am proud to say that this was my first read of 22!"

"<i>Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review! All thoughts and opinions are my own.</i><br/><br/>When I came across this book my first thought was "VAMPIRES??? GAY??? I'M IN." and I immediately requested it. Now? I have a lot of things to say.<br/><br/>Well, first off, I'll start with the detail I liked most about this book: the representation. If there's something The Coldest Touch doesn't lack it's diversity. We've got people of color, non-binary characters, and, of course, the two main characters, one of which is a lesbian vampire. Isn't that just so cool? The book, too, doesn't make a big deal about it!<br/><br/>The side characters were fun and well written. I'd even go as far as saying I enjoyed Wyn, Jordan and Maggie more than the two main characters, which leads me to my first complaint: how rushed it all felt. As their relationship progressed, my thoughts were always "hey, slow down!" - it felt like it was going too fast. There was a lack of depth to their relationship at some point - I'd even dare to say there was a lack of chemistry, at least in the beginning. I feel like the author eventually made up for it, but it's something that still stood in the way of a higher rating.<br/><br/>I wasn't a fan of the writing style either. It's something more personal, a preference of mine, but I disliked how off some sentences sounded inside my head.<br/><br/>However, even though the first half of the book wasn't so good, the second half left me on the edge of my seat! Plot twist after plot twist, I found myself not being able to put the book down as I couldn't wait to find out how it all would be brought to an end.<br/><br/>Note: I'd very much like to marry Wyn."

"this book was wild, but in a good way! some pieces felt a bit abrupt and the ending was a bit convenient. however, i wish it was a series because i would LOVE to read about what happens next for claire and elise!"
