Book Summary:
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.
My Review:
Welcome to Coldtown! Where the monsters bump in the night.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown was such an fantastic read. The world is filled with vampires but they are not what they seem. They were taught to be scare of them, but are they really that bad?
The main character, Tana. She has been through a lot in the beginning of the book. Everyone around her is dead and her ex-boyfriend/friend is infected. The only way she can save him is take him to coldtown, with an unlikely help from a vampire. Secrets in coldtown are exposed, Tana is at risk not making it out alive. What will become of her in the end??
This book was pretty much a quick read. The cover is awesome looking. That ending made me want more. Hopefully Holly will work on another book. It a good stand alone. Slowly starting to read more Holly Black’s book. This is detailed read, that will leave you with full of emotions. I’m glad a got a chance to read it.
Happy Reading!!!!
Really liked your review. I’ve been trying to decide if I should read it or not. This one of those books where the opinions are REALLY divided and this post is making me itch to read it. I have a question that might be a SPOILER for some. Is the vampire a love interest? Is there a love triangle?

Also, your dog looks just like mine. She died a couple of days ago. I admit that the dog was what caught my attention while I was scrolling through my feed.

No triangle. I got it from library to read not knowing at first it was a vampire book. It mostly open ending and not much romance in it. Mostly just trying to survive throughout the book. Holly said she will return to this book and hopefully finish it.
