Goodreads Blurb: 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:
This books was so well written.
I've never read anything from Holly Black before, but now I wish I had.
The fantasy aspect was so well thought out and detailed. Same with the post-apocalyptic. I liked that the romance was not the main idea in the book.
The main character was strong. She made her own decisions and tried cleaning up her own messes. She new the right decisions. She tried saving others before saving her own life.
Tana might not have been illustrated as a hero, but I think she is the perfect example of one.
I liked how Holly tied in that historical aspect, taking the older vampire back to Russia and how they came to America. It really tied together how people in the twenty-first century views vampirism to how it is viewed in more historical times.
She really got every aspect to a good book down; fast paced plot, strong and well-written characters, and a detailed setting.
Honestly, if you are a fan of anything I would suggest this book to you; Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, and The Mortal Instruments, it all relates.
This is an amazing book. Honestly if you haven't picked it up yet, you are missing out.

Future News:
This is a stand alone book and there will not be a sequel (at least there isn't one planned)(I hope there is one).
