About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong returns to Haven’s Rock in Cold as Hell as Casey Duncan 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.

I never really warmed to Yukon cold😬❄ 3-3.5🌟 This struck me as a Yukon wilderness version of a Christie house party murder mystery. An isolated community of individuals needing to escape their old lives & hide out, when suddenly women are attacked, presumably by a member of said community. The attacker mystery was fine, but there were so many side tracks, largely thanks to narrator Casey's advanced state of pregnancy. I just did not connect w/ characters. Definitely not good as standalone.

.5stars-COLD AS HELL is the 3rd book in Kelley Armstrong’s contemporary adult HAVEN’S ROCK mystery, thriller series set in the fictional town of Haven’s Rock, Yukon focusing on Detective Casey Duncan & her husband Sheriff Eric Dalton. COLD AS HELL is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, madness and murder, love and loss. The slow building story is dark, dramatic and edgy; the characters are determined, charismatic and energetic.

I can’t not get enough of this series. Casey and Eric are back along with all there crew in this fabulous fast paced suspenseful drama. This story was full of shocking surprises and danger around every corner. The mystery just kept me guessing until the reveal. This is one of the best book’s I’ve read this year. If you haven’t tried this series yet you should jump right in.

To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is however an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.
