Cold Kiss by Amy Garvey
3.0
3.5 stars
Seventeen-year-old Wren has a great boyfriend and two great best friends and she is able to balance them all spectacularly. She is most definitely not one of those girls who ditches her friends to spend all of her time with her boyfriend. But Danny Greer is her first love and when he and his friend are involved in a terrible car accident that proves fatal for Danny, Wren uses her love and her grief and a little something extra to bring him back to her.
Cold Kiss is not your typical zombie story. No infection or science experiment gone wrong brings Danny Greer back from the dead. His very alive girlfriend, Wren, does with the powers all of the women in her family possess. Danny does not crave brains or any other form of sustenance and he may be pale and cold but he is certainly not rotten.
Danny was Wren’s first love and losing first love tragically makes it harder to let go. Wren only allows herself a few days of grief before setting about to bring Danny back. She committed an incredibly selfish act, but I think a lot of readers will identify with Wren and her actions because her selfishness stems from a broken heart and overwhelming grief. I certainly felt for her.
The main plot of Cold Kiss involved undead Danny and how Wren is going to deal with him. When the reader meets Wren, she has already brought Danny back and has hidden him for three months. He is a shadow of her Danny; he craves all of Wren’s attention, becomes possessive of her, and gets anxious when she is gone for long stretches of time. They share past memories with no chance of creating new, happy memories because of Danny’s half life. Wren has a harder time of leaving Danny and she begins losing him all over again when the memories of what killed him begin to return.
