This is the first Christopher Pike book that I have read that wasn't for young adults. I had difficulty getting into it-but after the first 3 chapters, I couldn't put it down.
Helpful Score: 2
This book was good, although confusing at time because there were SO many characters involved. It has a really interesting set of twists that make it a great read.
A note to potential readers. Be forewarned. There was supposed to be a sequel to this book. Since 13 years have now passed, I am starting to doubt it.

Supernatural thriller about an emotionless being of great evil. Great read.

Not your average Christopher Pike book. Not a teen book. Very good though.
Two stars. Didn't finish reading this book, as it became too gruesome for me. Ick. I was tired of the bad language anyway--the author tried to keep it real with foul words from a former gang member character. I had to skip over the graphic sex, which I wasn't thrilled about seeing by this author. I had high hopes for this thriller, given that the author wrote such popular teen books in the 90's.

From the back of the book:
In The Cold One, Christopher Pike creates a villain whose soft touch can wither a person's soul, whose great beauty conceals a black heart, and whose breath carries death in every exhalation. An emotionless being of great and ancient evil, the Cold One exists only to destroy mankind.
