Description

An Apple Books Best Books of June selection!

We couldn’t put Cold Silence down until we’d discovered the truth about the murderer—and found out what happened between Shane and Yael, whose slow-burn romance is a great addition to the novel’s nonstop suspense, action, and creepiness. If you like intense reads, pick up Cold Silence. —Apple Books Review.

A determined FBI agent hunts a sadistic serial killer in this “steamy” (Kirkus Review) Romantic Thriller with a “masterful plot” (The BookLife Prize) by New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

A bloody game of cat and mouse…with a serial killer who makes it personal…

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.

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.

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 a finalist in the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense, Long Category, and was shortlisted for The Jackie Collins Award for Romantic Thrillers in the Romantic Novel Awards.


All the books can be read as standalone novels. Hot romantic stories with thrilling plots and guaranteed happily ever afters, they do contain strong language and sexy times. For fans of A.J. Rivers, L.T. Ryan, Janie Crouch, L.T. Vargus and Debra Webb.

    COLD SILENCE It is the first book in Toni Anderson’s new series Cold Justice – Most Wanted. This book is By far her most riveting hunt to find a prolific serial killer. The killer is earning money on the dark web as his audience pays to watch him and determine which of his methods he will use to kill young women.The multifaceted FBI task force which includes HRT and Alec Parker’s cybersecurity team has their work cut out! The unsub is computer savvy and is able to set up the FBI and to identify a couple of the FBI task force members. The task force utilizes all sections of the FBI to end this reign of terror! The storyline is filled unexpected twists and romance. Who is the serial hunter really hunting? And why? "I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book”
  • Great start to new series

    This book was a good start to a new series which also included some favorite characters from some other books. The story was really intense (in a good way) from the beginning. It really kept my interest from the first page. The main characters Shane and Yael were both really likeqble.

    This review is of Cold Silence by Toni Anderson. I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Let me start by saying that Toni Anderson is one of my all time favorite authors and she hasn’t disappointed me with Cold Silence! The characters are well developed and some are old friends from previous books. The author does an excellent job of hiding Yael‘s past and what Yael thinks is her terrible secret. She has spent her life hiding. As a computer expert, she is the perfect one to go after the monster killing people online because she knows where the hiding places are. And she doesn’t trust anyone. Shane is out for blood. That monster killed his best friend and Shane is going to set things right. Add these two intense people to the hunt that covers the US and you end up with a breathless story that keeps you on the edge of your seat! And Toni’s description of a snow storm shows she has lived through more than one of those! I got cold just reading it. If you are looking for a fast paced story with strong characters and amazing descriptions, then Cold Silence is for you! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and then go read more of Toni Anderson’s books!

    A killer like no other. .Hostage Rescue Team is needed to extract a young woman Shane when injured now needing Yael for the skills to help with this op. Trust is needed to work together, and it is hard for Yael to give. Yael is injured and now realized she was no longer alone. A tense filled plot of a rescue, a mission, and team work together, to the last page. Readers will enjoy this new series. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

    WOW! A top of the line whodunnit, with a side of romance and steam. The evil bad guy, is truly a piece of work. This book kept me engaged from beginning to the “edge of my seat” end. If you are a suspense romance reader, grab this newest book, it has it all. A definite addition to your TBR list.
  • Kept me guessing, kept me feeling…

    Nail biting suspense draws you into this story, but Yael and Shane doing the fighting attraction dance is just as enthralling. Shane holds her close as an asset, suspicious because he senses she is hiding something. Yael keeps everyone at a distance, even her best friend doesn’t know her secrets. The deep dive into their pasts breaks your heart. The investigation felt real, the task force following clues online and physical, the right puzzle piece just out of reach. Until the gripping finale. Don’t miss this thrilling tale.
  • Loaded With Suspense!

    I absolutely loved Yael and Shane! My heart just broke for poor Yael. Life has not been easy or fair to her. Shane is as alpha as they come. He’s just lost his best friend and he wants this serial killer caught. This book is loaded with action, suspense, angst and steamy times. I couldn’t read the book fast enough.
