The Coldest Girl in Coldtown Review

Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black is a vampire paranormal young adult read. It possesses action, violence, a dystopian society, and an accompanying element of a small romance. Overall, I would determine that it's a 4 out of 5 book. 

Firstly, I applaud the heroine Tana for caring about more than just her love interest. Thank you Holly Black. Tana cares about the vampire boy that she was raised to hate and fear, but instead she actually saved him from other vampires that purse to kill him. One may blame that she was not mentally stable after discovering that all of the kids at the party she was at were viciously murdered. However, this proved that she could be trusted by the vampire and in turn the vampire helped save her life. Thus on goes their short journey to Coldtown, an quarantined area dedicated to keeping all the vampires and humans inside in, allowing no escape-of coarse, unless you have a marker from turning in a vampire. 

I absolutely loved all of the action within this book! There was not a long, boring dull moment that would have tainted the book. Granted there were some small somewhat dull moments, though only minute. The surprises I honestly did not see coming! They kept coming and coming all the way until the conclusion of the story. In hindsight, it's interesting to see what instigated what, figuring out all the turning points and connections. 

The book offers another look or dimension to the well filled vampire literature that have flooded the young adult section of the book industry in recent years. However, this story has a unique setting and fabulous characters that will continue to shock you. Nothing is exactly as it seems. So even if you've read a shitload of vampire books, give this a try anyway. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. 

The relationship between Tana and Gavriel is great but rather twisted at the same time. It's not exactly your conventional kind of relationship. Though I do love it for that reason, but also that it seems equal. Tana is no damsel in distress, instead she takes on the more heroic persona who rescues others, including her strong, male love interest. This serves as foundation for the equal relationship where Tana doesn't completely, and unreasonably, obsess over Gavriel. They're a great killing duo!
