Book Depository Synopsis-
Tana lives in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. The only problem is, once you pass through Coldtown’s gates, you can never leave.
One morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a wholly original story of rage and revenge, of guilt and horror, and of love and loathing from bestselling and acclaimed author Holly Black.
Review- No Spoilers
I loved this book. When I heard it involved vampires I thought 'oh no, please not another Twilight'. I mean don't get me wrong, at one point I was obsessed with Twilight, but now not so much. However I enjoyed this so much, and thankfully it was nothing like Twilight. I loved the world that Holly Black created, with a bit of a twist on the normal vampire story. The Coldtowns had such a mix of evil and good it created such a diverse group of characters all that I thought were perfect in this book. I loved all the main characters and found myself rooting for them when things were going wrong. I think that this will be a book that I definitely re-read and would not be surprised if this ended up on my best books of 2014 list. I very much look forward to read more books from Holly Black, hoping that they all live up to this one.
