Crazy Characters

The Coldest One: A Deadly Love Affair (Cold Part IV) by Sha Jones is a interesting. Once again, Sha does a great job. It’s well written and it’s phenomenal page. I’ll not say too much about this book. One day, I want to throw this book away or burn this book because she has a crazy characters.

I’m happy that Tiffany and Darius are having a great peaceful without drama. They could breathe and enjoy themselves as family. I’m shocked about Draya and Melanie. I’m not feeling bad about Carl and Melanie. They could’ve leave people alone and focus on their desperate lives but they want to be difficult and destroy people’s happiness.

So far, I enjoyed reading this book but it’s a learning experience for not messing with people feeling and happiness. Desperate is a dangerous disease.

Good read:
Sandra

The story kept me interested but the lack of editing turned me off.. The dialogue was repetitive or nonsensical. The editing was nonexistent. The ending or finale was well done.

Suspense, suspense, suspense

I read book I, II, III and IV. I was a little hesitant about leaving a review. The book had so much unrealistic actions, but it was good. The storyline make good for a horror movie. Carl was a complete fool. The suspense kept coming at you, surprising you to no end. This writer had a lot bottled up in her and it seems she was pouring it all out TOO fast. Some of the actions are totally unbelievable. I was on the edge all throughout the book. Tiffany went through hell, I guess I can say it was an interesting read for a horror story! It had me stressed out. Watch out for the typos and the choppiness.

I was looking for Mama Janice too

This is a review for 1-4. What kind of police you got in Texas where they don't come to a crime scene and take evidence? Blood and feces all around the house but the police do nothing?? No crime labs in TX? And in the middle of an assault of three different individuals, tied up, drowning in fishy urine. Who in the world thinks, "Dang I'm hungry and thirsty. I sure hope he feeds us." Really!!! So I got book 4 and skimmed through it until I found what I was looking for... Character 17 baby!!! Haha! I loved it! A soap opera for real!

This book was lit!

Sha jones really did it with this series. I was hooked from the start. LORDT! I was so glad when Tiff bossed up and decided to fight back instead of letting Carl continue to ruin her life. It's like everyone was coming back from the dead. I'm still wondering where the hell is the rest of Mama Janice's body. Overall this was a great read and it deserves more than 5 stars.

Great Read

Never would I have thought that Carl could get any crazier than he was but I was proven wrong. After all Tiffany has lost. She decided to toughen up, however what she didn't expect was there was another sick player in this twisted game. I was shocked when the other person revealed themselves.

Emotionally drained

This Cold series is exactly what it’s title claims..... COLD so many events that would cause a norms person to just want to be admitted to the psych ward happened in this book. Carl was more sinister than any character I’ve come across, there’s too much going on to give a review you just have to read it...
Happy reading

Wow

This was another rollercoaster, tiffany just couldn't catch a break. She did what she had to do and finally Carl got what was due to him. But the ending was jaw dropping. I was shocked

Psychotic

I only finished this series because I truly wanted to know what happened to Carl's psychotic ass....

I'm a tad bit annoyed with the reasoning behind Carl's behavior. It truly didn't add up.

This was by far the worst series of books I have EVER read. Typos galore, ridiculous plot lines and things simply made no sense. It was such a train wreck I had to see how the author would finish this mess. What a disappointment.

Good finale

Tiff FINALLY fights back after more murders. The end was a twist, but good. I'm just not happy with all the explicit sex in a murderous mystery. May read another story but the novella at the end was the same...

This series had everything

If you want mystery, romance, killing and family. This is a great series to read. You won't believe all that happens. I don't want to be a spoiler so trust me and read this book. It deserves 100 stars.

Fast Paced Thriller

This series was awesome. I really enjoyed reading a thriller by an African American author. The story took so many unexpected turns.

Crazy As Crazy Can Get

The book was good and it had me going in circles. I did want to know how they fake the death and how one person had HIV but the other one didn't.
