Cold Black Hearts

by Jeffrey J. Mariotte

Book Overview

When an explosion wrecks police detective Annie O'Brien's career and destroys her hearing, she's left with something new--a vastly heightened sense of empathy that makes it impossible to be around other people.

Her home in Phoenix, Arizona's bustling metropolitan area rapidly becomes unbearable. An investigative job offered by an old family friend sends her to a lonely corner of New Mexico, to try to free an innocent man wrongly convicted of a brutal double murder.

As she pursues justice for the unfortunate prisoner, she finds herself caught up in the saga of New Dominion, a nearby town wiped out in a bloody massacre back in 1933...but is somehow rising from its own ashes. Annie's presence creates unexpected ripples, summoning ancient, demonic forces and causing tragedy to repeat itself--unless she can find some way to stop it.

Cold Black Hearts is a riveting supernatural thriller, and Annie O'Brien is bound to be your new favorite character

Customer Reviews

Wow! I'm definitely going to read other books by this author!

The book's premise was interesting to me - promising plot-twists and a creepy environment. Cold Black Hearts absolutely fulfilled this promise. The book does start out with a slow build, but it still kept things interesting, and the author sprinkles in tidbits that fill out the story and does an awesome job of building suspense until the climactic final 100 pages, when things really pick up and the twists come fast and furious. The cool thing about the twists and turns this story takes is that they don't appear forced or contrived. I really enjoyed this book. It moved at a good pace and was suspenseful. The creepy, eerie feeling persisted throughout and the last 100 pages or so were almost amazing. Excellent book, memorable story. Looking forward to reading more of Mariotte's stuff.
