REVIEW: Cold Kiss

My first review on here. So here we go.

Title: Cold Kiss

Author: Amy Garvey

Pages: 304

Publisher: HaperTeen

Genre: Paranormal

So this book follows, Wren, a girl whose boyfriend perished in car accident. Now, Wren's family has never been quite normal, for one, her mom can make weird things happen, and so can Wren and her sister. The thing is, Wren's mom refuses to talk to her about this magic, and pretends that it's non-existent.

So Wren, broken hearted and desperate, creates a spell and brings Danny back to life. There's only one problem, Danny isn't who he used to. He's a corpse, always cold, hence the name of the book. And since Danny can't exactly walk to his house and say, "Mom, I'm home!", Wren hides him in her over her neighbours garage. (In case you're wondering, the neighbour's an old widow who stays out of there.)

At first, Danny's happy just to see Wren every night. Then, he starts asking about his friends and family, and eventually, his death.

To make it all worse, since Danny and her school work are taking up all her time, Wren is losing touch with her life. She hasn't talked to her two best friends since her boyfriend died.

And, oh yeah, there's a new guy at school who's a lot like Wren.

Big conflict, eh?

Anyway, I though this book was pretty good. For one, the theme is pretty unique. I liked the writing style is really poetic and it's flowing. Here's the preview:

Doesn't that sound beautiful? 

Now, while there was a lot going on, I felt as if there was something missing, another thrill or plot twist, and the ending seemed too easy.

I'm giving Cold Kiss 3.5 out of 5.
