I was very surprised when I got the chance to read this book while on my vacation this summer. The local Indie bookstore was doing a summer reviewers program and I decided to take part the week that I was in town. I was so excited when I saw The Coldest Girl in Coldtown in the stack of books that I could choose from.

This book has gotten so much hype, but going into it I didn't really know what it was about. After I started reading it, I learned that it was about vampires and I got a little nervous (Yes, I'm one of those that still thinks vampire books are all like the stereotype). But, there was no reason for me to be nervous at all. Don't be put off by the theme of vampires. This book is much darker and deeper than you may think.

The setting for the book is eerie and the characters are so mysterious. In the beginning I didn't like the main character Tana, but she grew on me as I read, and I came to really like her. The other characters were the same way for me.

I really liked the world that Holly Black created. It was a mix of paranormal and dystopia all in one. Also, the vampires are written so that they, and what they do, are quite disturbing. The book is gory, and full of tons of twists, turns, and action.

Overall, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a unique and terrifying take on vampires in a dystopian-esque world. I would definitely reccomend this to all YA paranormal and dystopian fans, whether you like vampires or not!
