The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
4.0
Audio- great narrator. I loved this tale of vampires and segregation. The vampires are not sparkly loving dead angels, these biters are viscous and manipulative beasts. There was a real life quality with the characters, I could believe in them.
The story follows a young girl who wakes up to find everyone around her dead. She finds one human survivor and one vampire in need of rescue. She risks all to save them even if it may kill her. The nice twist, she does it smartly, she protects herself first saves them second. (what a concept huh ?) Her attempt did not go as planned and now she's headed for Coldtown a segregated area for vampires and infected people. The media has shown it to be a glamorous place but reality is often different. She is lied too, forced to watch friends die, is stabbed in the back, has to make a terrible decisions, and does it all with her head held high. She is willing to pay the ultimate price.
Yeh, I liked her. I liked her shady companions and I really like Gavriel. I look forward to book 2, and hope they go a hunting.
