A review by nelljustice
Cold as Hell by Jaime Castle, Rhett C. Bruno

5.0

Very intriguing story. I had started it about a month ago and barely got thru the 1st chapter. I restarted it again a few days ago and got sucked in entirely. I guess I wasn’t in the right mood for it the first time. This may fit you, so if you don’t like it right away, you might want to come back a little later because it is a story that kept me highly engaged. I listened as an audiobook and the narrator was spot on. The narrator was so good, I swear I was watching a movie.

This is in an old west setting, which makes it even more an enjoyable story. I will say there is a lot of death, but not a lot of gross descriptions of carnage. There isn’t a romantic story in the middle of the death and chaos, so don’t worry about that if it isn’t your jam.

There is some language tossed around, so if you aren’t a delicate flower, it will add to the flavor of the story. Please listen to the novella before this: “Dead Acre” because it’ll give you more background on the character.

The epilogue does leave a bit of a cliffhanger, but the main story is completed. I really enjoyed this book.
