The Coldest Girl in Coldtown stands out in a sea of other Vampires, outbreaks, and post-apocalyptic style books that we've all seen done many times. Holly Black gives us a look at how society might very well react to an outbreak of vampirism in the Unites States. 
 Quarantine them, hunt them, kill them...celebritize them? Yes, I dare say I could see all of these possibilities. 
 Tana and the unusual motley crew she finds herself mixed up with were a great cast of characters. My favorite being Gavriel...because he was mad and delicious in every way. When I felt I couldn't possibly like him more...he would say something to tickle my insides with glee. 
 "I promise I will repay you." "Oh yeah?" she asked, looking at him, with his bare feet and plain, dark clothes. "With what?" The smile stayed on his lips. "Jewels, lies, slips of paper, dried flowers, memories of things long past, useless quotations, idle hands, beads, buttons, and mischief." - pg 71 
 However, I do wish there were MORE of Gavriel because I couldn't get enough. I felt if there had been more scenes with him the tension between he and Tana would have been much more palpable. 
 "I haven't had a very good day." ... "We'll get you another day," Gavriel said, with such odd sincerity that she had to smile." - pg 64 
 There were a few times I wanted to smack her for being a bit naive, but perhaps we are all a bit silly like that in our young age. Hard lessons learned. 
 If you are looking for the humanized, now traditional vampire but with a few new twists to the story, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is definitely a book you want to check out. Especially if you are a lover of vampire fiction. Holly Black has yet to disappoint me.
