Grave Cold Book Review
Thank you to Shannon Knight for providing me with a copy of this book! I voluntarily leave this review!
Cait’s hands are branded with violet double helixes, labeling her as an unknown power. In a world where people can invade dreams or become weapons, an unknown is constantly watched. The last thing Cait wants is to attract attention, even if the ghosts haunting her dreams never allow her to sleep. Deciding to take a journey beyond the District of Portland's walls, where the dead do not linger, she finds a man who may have the answers to her powers, but they will forever change how she sees herself and the dead.
The obsessive side of discovery and human advancement is captured in terrifying clarity within Grave Cold. Countless souls lay trapped within electronics, harvested from their bodies and used as an energy source. While the public enjoys their new technology, the dead are forced to suffer in silence. And as Cait dives deeper into understanding her powers and saving the dead, even more horrific truths will be revealed. After all, the experiments had to start somewhere. And where there is an entire population seen as less than human, it makes for a variety of test subjects.
The world-building of Grave Cold will entrance readers as they learn of the mutations and past wars that have broken places into Districts and bred new humans. And the characters are no less impressive. Readers will witness Cait’s evolution from a woman hiding among the shadows to someone embracing her true nature and fighting for the dead. And let’s not forget Nyle, a man who lives among the wilds, a raven who bears no helixes, yet all the same carries abilities. A man who some would kill to study and tear apart just for the sake of advancement. Together, their powers and personalities collide into a wonderful synergy.
In a world where mutation has changed the way the world works and granted powers to some, Grave Cold has only brushed the surface of potential. I cannot wait to see what else is in store for the characters and what other unsavory characters they will come up against. I need more Cait and Nyle to see what else they team up against.
