The coldest girl in coldtown
By Holly Black
Imagine a world in where every night you have to hide in fear of the dark. The dark holds danger you never thought would be true. Vampires walk among you and they are hungry. If you are bitten you go cold, if you go cold it's already too late. Find your nearest coldtown don’t try to sweat it out don’t you’ll only get hungrier. One drop is all it takes and you're one of them a monster in human skin eyes blood red, fangs like blades, hunger never ending.
“Clever girl. You play with fire because you want to be burnt.”
Tana is a girl with a past full of pain, heartbreak, and mistakes. Her father lives in a bottle after the incident with their mother. The same mother who went cold tempted Tana for blood and left her with more than enough trouble than Tana would ever want in her life. Tana lives a life of parties and trouble or at least she use too. Now she tries to stay on the straight and narrow but life doesn’t always go here way. Tana life goes from bad to worse when she encounters her ex apparently infected and a strange vampire who is as mysterious as beautiful.
“They wore their strange beauty like war paint”
I love this book more than I should admit. I devoured every word and read it at every chance I could. The characters were well written and felt real. The world and story were so realistic that I could picture this sort of thing happening in real life. It brilliantly showed the effect media can have on society and how cruel the world can be. I can not recommend it enough but it does take a certain type of person to enjoy it. I was taken aback by how many people said they didn’t even finish the first few chapters. If you like vampires done right then read this. There will be no sparkly loving vampires like Twilight. The vampires in this book wouldn’t hesitate to kill you and that is the way it should be in my opinion. The ending left me wanting more but I loved it anyway. I would recommend this to lovers of suspense and urban fantasy lovers. I have yet to find a book like it and try to recommend it to anyone who is willing to go on a ride for a few hundred pages of pure joy and madness.
“So I'm scared, because you're not just not human, you're not like anyone....there's nobody like you in all the world and it's you I want. I want you and I hate wanting things and I especially hate admitting I want them.”
