Review: Cold Silence by Toni Anderson

Author
: Toni Anderson
Publication Date: June 2022

FBI Hostage Rescue Team member Shane Livingstone is frustrated when an injury sidelines him during an operation to catch a sadistic killer. A killer who auctions off vicious ways to torture his victims and screens the events for money on the dark web. When a teammate dies during the op, a devastated Shane vows to track down the monster responsible—but to do so he’ll need access to specialized skills he doesn’t possess.

A bloody game of cat and mouse…

As a white-hat hacker at Alex Parker’s security firm, Yael Brooks knows how to track predators through the darkest recesses of cyberspace. She can’t say no to Shane’s request…even though she fears her own secrets may put her at risk.

With a serial killer who makes it personal…

Shane and Yael must work together as a team if they hope to stop this psychopath. As they begin to grow closer, Shane demands Yael’s complete trust, but trust is the one thing Yael is reluctant to give. As the chase intensifies and more people die, it becomes obvious that the killer knows exactly who Yael is and plans to make both her and Shane pay the ultimate price for getting in his way.

Cold Silence is the latest book by Toni Anderson.  It's the first book in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series.  It can be read as a stand alone.  Even though it is an off shoot of her earlier Cold Justice series.  There are characters from the earlier books that do show up here, but you aren't missing any important information.  It was nice to see how previous couples are doing though. I love starting a new book by this author because I know I'm in for a great adventure.

I thought this one was really fun.  It was action packed and had me holding my breath in a few scenes.  Especially the ending scenes...talk about intense!  The msytery had me engaged from the beginning.  I liked that it was very technical and computer based. The story definitely brutal in some scenes.  As for the couple, I liked Shane more in the beginning that I did Yael. But in the end, I could understand her reluctance for not wanting to get close to anyone because of her past.  I highly recommend this one as well as any book by this author. I listened to the audio version of the book and highly recommend that format. I can't wait to read the next book.
