I really like everything from Kristi Belcamino. This book is a page-turner from the beginning. I love Gia’s character and the storyline. So much drama and suspense! Read and enjoy!
When you read a series, there comes a point where you think…this will be winding down soon…! This is simply not the case with any of the books in the Gia series. The plots always seem to get thicker, the pace is gripping and intense, it is simply a page-turner that dares you to put it down. No spoilers in my reviews: This does just fine as a stand-alone but you are better served if you’ve read from the beginning but only for continuity and character backstory. The characters and stories are all so well developed, you can fall in quickly and deeply without difficulty. A definite thrill ride that will have you on the edge of your seat…Mexico is the backdrop and cartels are involved, need I say more? So, stop reading this now, and go and one-click this amazing thriller for the next best book you’ll read! I received an ARC of this book and I am providing my honest and unbiased review.
Will not leave you cold for long
Gia, the vigilante with a heart, goes to Mexico to spend some time with Rosalie and Nico. As the story progresses the tranquility is shattered, a desperate race ensues, and even if she wins it could still break her in the end. Kristi Belcamino’s Cold As Death will not leave you cold for long. There is plenty of action to keep your heart pounding and more than a few twists that will have you reeling. A definite thrill a minute read.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
Gia and Nico, head of the largest cartel in Mexico, have settled into a life together taking care of his daughter, Rosalie. Nico wants to get out of the cartel, but it is almost impossible. Rosalie is kidnapped by Nico’s rival. Gia will stop at nothing to get her back. Risking her life will not stop her. This is another thriller in this series that you will not want to put down.
I was lucky enough to have gotten a ARC copy of this book from the author. I am volunteering to leave this review. Fantastic book this book will take you on a wild roller-coaster of emotions. Love this series and this author.
COLD AS DEATH….Kristi .Belcamino
We meet Nico shaking his head as he tries to figure Gia out. Rosalie the child Gia had taken in was optimistic and happy, and had a love for both of them.
A child Nico didn’t know about for eight years. Gia has found love and a life.with Rosalie and Nico, who also is the head of the largest drug cartel in Mexico…He wants to be legitimate, and others want him and those around him gone, and will stop at nothing. Their target was Rosalie by kidnapping her. Once again Gia is aware of what is at stake, another family and she is determined not to lose this time. Adrenaline packed, with emotion and tension. The adventure and how Gia works to get her back, is great
Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
Another great Gia Santella Crime Series read by Kristi Belcamino! I am absolutely loving this series and where Gia’s journey is taking her; I cannot wait to see how her journey ends (but, hopefully, there will be several more wonderful books before then!). She has grown so much over the course of the series, yet has stayed true to herself and her beliefs. She fights for those who cannot, the injustices and atrocities of society, and the welfare and happiness of her dearest friends and family. Her character is intriguing and I love her strength and determination. I hope she will find her happy ending with Rosalie and Nico; they fit together well and make a lovely family unit. Crossing fingers!!
Cold as Death was both heartwarming and full of heartache and loaded with edge of your seat intensity throughout. This book seriously held my attention from the first chapter and I whipped through the pages as fast as I could. I could not find a place I was willing to put the book down so I read it in its entirety last night (took about an hour and a half). It was absolutely thrilling and full of danger, suspense, mystery, action, conflict, family drama, and hints of romance with several surprises thrown in. And I was excited to see Eva, once again, jump into the action with Gia when she needed her most.
I absolutely loved this story and I am looking forward to the next to see how the ending of this one played out (because oh, my!!). The reason I rated this one 4-star versus 5-stars was that I felt there were a couple of instances where Gia’s actions were out of character for her. Though I understood the circumstances, it still seemed, to me, that she would have said to hell with it all as those she loved were in danger and powered through like in past books in the series. But my thoughts on this in no way diminished the impact or the awesomeness of this read. It was fabulous! I struggle between which is my favorite character/series – Gia or Eva, but either way, Belcamino has worked her way to the top of my author list as one of my favorite authors.
