I read Toni Anderson's first Cold Justice book, Cold Dark Place, and was not wowed. The plot was unbelievable,it made vigilante justice sound like a good thing, and had the FBI seriously breaking the law in order to get things done. I didn't know if I'd give her another try, but when this book was 99 cents as a KDD, I decided to see if her stories had improved after a few books. Overall I enjoyed this story a lot more than Cold Dark Place. It had fewer unbelievable plot points, and didn't play quite as fast and loose with FBI procedures (although it still did to a certain extent). The suspense plot was good, except the resolution was a little bit of a let down. The romance had some insta-lust going on, but was decent. Cold and Deadly was entertaining and I may read more of this newer off-shoot series.

FBI Supervisory Special Agent Dominic Sheridan and rookie agent Ava Kanas are thrown together when agents begin dying and Dominic’s life is at stake. Ava has been assigned as his bodyguard after she almost lost her job. If she can keep him alive she just might hold continue to fulfill her dream as an FBI agent. .
Dominic is an expert negotiator in the Crisis Negotiation Unit, but falls short when it comes to stopping a maniacal killer. Ava has a lot to prove since she lost her father due a brutal murder and is also dealing with the death of her mentor. The pair don’t get along, except the sparks that fly between them that soon spiral out of control.
Cold & Deadly introduces the Cold Justice: Crossfire series. The predecessor series, Cold Justice, is in my TBR, as I only have been able to read the first in the series so far, A Cold, Dark Place. I love how Toni Anderson uses federal agents in her series as they are just the types of shows I enjoy whenever I watch television.
There was a fairly equal mix of passion, intrigue and danger in this book. Both Ava and Dominic are greatly affected by former agent Van Santos’s death. This shared concern is a terrific catalyst in helping the pair work so closely together. At they get closer to the killer, they get even closer to each other. I truly loved Ava and Dominic together making this story an excellent read. I and am eager to read the next book in the series, Colder Than Sin.

I liked reading it.
The book and the story were good enough but I couldn't seem to commit to it that much.
Sure, there was mystery about the killer but the book seemed to drag for me.

I enjoyed this book enough to continue reading the series, but both MCs were extremely frustrating. By the end of the book, I honestly felt that both should be fired.

Always here for apart of the Cold Justice Series. I will continue to read the Negotiators series! We have all of our old favorites in this one, including Lincoln Frazer and Malory Rooney.
