In general I don't like the placement of the people in the frame.
There is lots of empty space in odd places and this lets the tension out of all the pictures.
I agree about the coldness of the images and the middle tones seem to be bleached out.
In number one, the are two separate areas that draw the eye and that empty white space at the top left.
#2 has all this space, a heavy vignette and the complexions are really blanched. Why not a crop that removes some space and saves money in framing also?
#3 has this "he's a vampire but I luv it so I just lean against this white rock wall" sort of thing going on.
#4 again has a rather pale bluish cast and that crop gives two centers of interest - faces and boobies. There is a halo under his chin that makes this look like its been over-sharpened
Why not simplify this, add a bit of tone and focus on the faces?
Add some color, remove some blue and add some mystery.
