"Tana! Aidan said, looking incredibly pleased to see her right up to the moment when she punched him on the face" The Coldest Girl In Coldtown by Holly Black Published September 13th, 2013 - Goodreads Rating: 3.86 It is really a shame this one is not a series. I would have greatly enjoyed reading this as a series as it had all the elements that make a story I usually enjoy...except it was different! So many of the books I have read tend to blend together because they are similar or have very similar elements, such as a cheesey romance, yet The Coldest Girl in Coldtown gave a new spun on vampires; and it was simply done. I really hope Holly Black decides to revisit this novel as the ending is left in the air. The story could end, and as a reader you can accept the ending for what it is, but there is room to come back. The author ends the story beautifully as she does not try to wrap everything up quickly. The story maintains a flow that the reader can easily follow comfortably. 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. Probably my favorite aspect of the novel was the beginning of each chapter, which featured a quote by different people revolving around death. While that may sound morbid, each quote was placed perfectly in line with the story since the main character, Tana, battles vampirism throughout the story. Now, I have heard rumors of this story having a sequel, but nothing has been confirmed. Fingers crossed a sequel is written! Rating: 5/5! Do you think a sequel should be written? I would love to hear your thoughts! Author - BobbiI'm a metalhead who happens to loves spongebob and vampires.
