Cold as Hell

A Haven's Rock Novel (Haven's Rock, Book 3)

By: Kelley Armstrong

Narrated by: Thérèse Plummer

New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong returns to Haven’s Rock in Cold as Hell as Casey Duncan hunts down a dangerous killer during a deadly blizzard.

Haven’s Rock is a sanctuary town hidden deep in the Yukon for those who need to disappear from the regular world. Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, are starting a family now that they’ve settled into their life here. As Casey nears the end of her pregnancy, she lets nothing, including her worried husband, stop her from investigating what happens in the forbidden forest outside the town of Haven’s Rock.

When one of the town's residents is drugged and wanders too close to the edge of town, she’s dragged into the woods kicking and screaming. She’s saved in the nick of time, but the women of the town are alarmed. Casey and Eric investigate the assault just as a snowstorm hits Haven’s Rock, covering the forest. It’s there they find a frozen body, naked in the snow. With mixed accounts of the woman's last movements, the two begin to question who they can trust—and who they can't—in their seemingly safe haven.

Dang that was awesome 👍🏼

What a wild ride. I love all the new things happening in Haven's Rock. Nothing like having an anxiety attack towards the end. I can't wait for the next book.

SO GOOD.

This is probably the best book in the series yet! A couple more Rockton characters have joined them at Haven’s Rock, and it’s nice to see them again.

This story is so well crafted that I will be content listening to this series several more times while I wait for the next one to come out. 😅

The narrator continues to do an excellent job bringing all these characters alive. I forget, as I listen, that it’s one woman doing all these voices because I get so lost in the story.

My SINGULAR complaint is that there quite a bit more ambient noise in the recording. It’s not something I hear when it’s coming out of a speaker, but it’s very clear when I’m listening on my headset. Little thumps and bumps likely occurring during recording effectively pull me out of the story, wondering if the thump I felt was something accidentally recorded or if there’s someone on my porch fixing to knock.

That said, the narrator is so good that I’m quickly pulled back into the story again.

Pick this book up. If you’ve loved the rest of this series, this will continue that affair, and get you all tied up in the story lines.

excellent story

loved the justice absolutely ironic!!!! this is a series I have come to love even though it's not in my usual reading. if you're going to start it do yourself a favor and start with the very first book from the rockton series.

Love the story line!

Great new twist to this series! I can’t wait for the next one. Please keep them coming. The narrator is amazing!

Another winner from Kelley Armstrong

Kelley Armstrong is one of my favorite authors. She just has a way with making to feel like you are right there in the book. This was a very good read and had several twists that went straight into the end. She never ceases to amaze me.

So good!

I love everything about Kelley’s writing. This newest installment was devoured in a day. And loved getting to know all of the characters in Havens Rock better. And narration was impeccable.

Yukon Dreaming

So glad to be back Haven's Rock again! Keep these coming! Adventures with Erik, Casey and Storm as they race to find a killer.

Never want these stories to end!

Another great addition to the Rockton/Havens Rock series. My only complaint is that the story seemed to end so quickly lol. I never want these stories to end, I just love the concept, character building, plot development, just ticks all the boxes for me.

Awesome story

I love this series. the characters are so well developed. The narration and the author feel like coming home each time I listen to a book in this series. I absolutely can't wait for the next listen.
