A review by sentientstars
Cold by Mariko Tamaki
3.0
This book is utterly chilling, just as the title suggests. With alternating perspectives between Georgia, a girl with no connection to the murder, and the now-dead Todd, the mystery slowly unravels before our eyes in the most deliciously deceptive manner.
While I wasn't personally a fan of the writing style, I don't think that should take away from my review. The only issue I really had was trying to place what group this was for. It is obviously YA—if not from the dark topic, certainly for the plethora of swears—but Tamaki also used all caps to stress words, something that felt very elementary as if the reader could not understand the flow/nature of stressed words.
All and all, I'm thankful for getting my hands on an electric copy before it is published!
