The Coldest Girl in Coldtown Holly Black Books

So satisfying. I can't remember the last time that a book wrapped up in a better way than I could have imagined. This book has a true beginning, middle, end. A a great story arch. Even the bad guys have a back story and are enjoyable as characters. This book is a jewel- not needing a sequel (although I would absolutely read a sequel). Furthermore, when you can compare the cold towns in the story to our prison system, the insight is both interesting and frightening. The fiscal and political investment in the institution confuses easiest and best practices. Who is redeemable? The bloodthirsty vampire? The reckless child? The self-severing teenager? The person who makes a mistake?

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown Holly Black Books Reviews

4.5 Stars

Oh, how delightfully delicious this was!

The Coldest Girl In Coldtown has been one of my most anticipated book of the year! I love Vampires books, even though I have been wayyyyy burnt out with them and haven't read one since April. But anything to do with Vampires, Dystopian, Quarantined Cities, and feasting on human blood in a dystopian setting, I'M IN! And The Coldest Girl In Coldtown has satisfied my craving for my Vampire-dystopian fix! Even though I would of liked these vampires to have been more...gritty, and gruesome, but they were still awesome, they just lacked that horrific, spine-chilling, menacing feel! But still definitely satisfied!

The main characters were well developed. Tana was a enjoyable, strong character, that wouldn't give up no matter the cost. And Gavriel, he had this mysterious sex appeal that just kept me drawn to him, whenever he was around! He had this rough around the edges feel to him. But once Tana broke through his hard layers, he revealed that something softer was in the inside.

Holly Black had an interesting way of writing this novel. She had one chapter of the main plot, then the next chapter had some background information on any character. Which was and interesting way for her the write Coldtown, but oh so annoying when a chapter ended with a fast-paced, heart-pounding scene, that you just had to see what was coming next, but then it would abruptly change to something that happen in the past. Sometimes I found myself screaming "NO, I DON'T CARE, take me back to the main plot, I need to know what happens!" But when the chapter didn't end on a heart-pounding note, it was interesting to get some back info on said character.

The Plot

Vampires have come out of hiding and infected humans everywhere. Whole city's have been quarantined to contain the virus of vampirism. These cities are closed off leaving everyone left inside to fend for themselves, whether their infected or not, they refused to open the gates for anyone! So these cities became The Coldtowns.

Tana, one of the only handful of kids left that doesn't want to become a vampire, happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Living it up with some friends at a party, they get trashed, and after many hours of playing a drinking game, Tana passes out in the bathtub. Waking up hours later, she discovers that vampires have broken in and murdered everyone except for her and her ex-boyfriend Aiden. She finds Aiden infected and tied to the bed like a good little blood pet. She also finds a vampire chained up next to Aiden. Tana decides to help both Aiden and the vampire break free. They mange to escape, but not without Tana getting scraped by vampire teeth on her way out the window. She now has to deal with the last thing she ever wanted. The uncertainty of not knowing whether she's infected like Aiden. Oh, and theirs that vampire in her trunk to deal with! So not knowing if she's infected like Aiden, she make the ultimate sacrifice, and decides to go to Coldtown were she can't hurt anyone or further spread the virus if she's infected.

Coldtown turns out to be nothing like they thought it would be. It was always talked up as being a big ol' party hangout with vampires as their blood buddies. But what they find is a death trap, and a lot of wanna-be-vampires, willing to do anything to become one. And with Aiden and Tana possibly infected, they may have to watch their backs from the humans before the vampires.

Tana can't deny the incredible pull she feels towards Gavriel, the vampire she helped. She knows he's the wrong "Type Of Guy". But how long can she fight the connection that sparks when he's around. And that just might be Tana's undoing!

This was an amazingly fresh take on vampires, that had me staying up late, glued to the pages, craving more! It really was a good book even though it was slightly different then I predicated. I would have liked these vampires to have more of a backbone, versus partying it up on a live TV for humans. I did not expect that aspect of this book, but in the end it won me over and turned out be very entertaining!

Overall, I loved this brilliant take on vampires in their dystopian world. The world building was great, the action was suspenseful, and the twist were unpredictable. I would definitely recommend this book, and I think anyone who wants a new heart-throbbing adventure with vampires, should definitely pick this one up. I don't think they'll be disappointed!
Despite my love for the author's other work I have to admit I was skeptical about The Coldest Girl. The name didn't really catch my interest, but I am so happy that I got it, I was immediately sucked in!

There is no long slow build up, it's a jump straight into adventure with a strong female leading the charge. The perfect amount of romance gives the story a change of depth and pace and it's a wonderful change of pace for the female to be the one doing all the rescuing! Tana is everything I would hope to be if dropped into her shoes - sure of herself and determined, even when things seem bleak.

Tana's family life and heartbreaking past remain a focal point of the story and a driving force behind her as she takes on a world she had only ever seen on tv - an aspect of this new landscape that made Coldtowns seem infinitely more real and contemporary. Oh there are vampires? Sounds like great reality tv!

My only complaint is that there isn't more story!
I have never read a book by Holly Black ever, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect going into this book. I knew it was about vampires and that was it. I am glad I went into not knowing much because wow, it was so good. The writing and the characters are amazing, the way Holly Black writes is absolutely fantastic. She sucks you in and your left wanting to know more every time you read it. This book was so good I didn’t want to finish it, I wanted to hold on to as much of the story as I could.

Your MC is a girl named Tana. She awakens in a bathtub of an old farmhouse to find herself in the middle of a massacre. Everyone at the party from the night before is now dead except Aiden (Her Ex-Boyfriend) and the Vampire chained up in the corner. She is soon faced with the possibility of being infected along with Aiden already being infected and makes the choice to go to Coldtown.

Coldtowns are cities that built walls around themselves to help keep the vampire population in and hopefully stop the spread of the infection. Most humans end up going to coldtown because they have glamourized vampirism so much they want to turn into one. So facing the Aiden and Herself being infected, tana heads to coldtown in her car with Aiden and Gabriel ( the Chained up Vampire)

I keep gushing over this book, but it was so good. I honestly compare it a bit to savage song by V.E. Schwab as far as the built-up cities and Humans against monsters (Vampires). I was thoroughly impressed with this books and is definitely one of my favorites this year. Overall it was such an amazing book with great writing and a fabulous world. The character building was astounding, especially with the growth after getting to Coldtown.
So satisfying. I can't remember the last time that a book wrapped up in a better way than I could have imagined. This book has a true beginning, middle, end. A a great story arch. Even the bad guys have a back story and are enjoyable as characters. This book is a jewel- not needing a sequel (although I would absolutely read a sequel). Furthermore, when you can compare the cold towns in the story to our prison system, the insight is both interesting and frightening. The fiscal and political investment in the institution confuses easiest and best practices. Who is redeemable? The bloodthirsty vampire? The reckless child? The self-severing teenager? The person who makes a mistake?
