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. One morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a wholly original story of rage and revenge, of guilt and horror, and of love and loathing from bestselling and acclaimed author Holly Black.

03.75/5 Unique Vampire world building - Although a standalone, the world felt vast in its contained setting. It felt fleshed out and expansive. I've always been picky with female protagonists, because often when I was an actual teenager reading YA, these characters either felt whiney or too much of a mary sue, but that perspective was also likely heavily tied to my insecure "Not like other girls" persona. Regardless, I liked Tana - she was bold, interesting, scared, all that good human shit. I also really loved all the relationship dynamics. The ex-boyfriend, the new vampire boy, alt teens, etc. The one thing that I didn't love was the climax - it was interesting, and made sense and relatively satisfying, but maybe not all that exciting. I like the ending tho :)
