I LOVED THIS BOOK. 
 It surprised me. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. I became immersed in it. It's a totally new take on vampires, utterly original and thrilling. Holly Black has a fantastic writing style and this world-building was executed beautifully. The characters were all fabulous (I am, of course, partial to Tana and Gavriel <3) and I enjoyed reading the story from several points of view. Another thing that added to this story was its frequent use of flashbacks. While you'd think that would only distract from the storyline, it had the exact opposite effect. It moved everything along nicely and aided in key plot twists. I would love a sequel to this book, as I'm dying (get it?) to know what happens to Tana. 
 I highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys a good paranormal, action-packed read!
