The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
Publication Date: September 3, 2013
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
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

I haven't read this particular book but I've never been a fan of the author's work in the past! I have heard mixed reviews on this one. I hope you do like it if you decide to read it!
It's an author I need to try one day
I have read a lot of reviews that are so mixed, as your friends were, about this book. I have not read any of Holly Black's books, so I will await your review whenever you get to this one!
I haven't read this one, but it does sound really good!
I don't usually read books for young readers. I don't think it is my thing but I hope you enjoy it.

My daughter and co-bloggers love Holly Black. Her books seem really well loved in general too. Hope it's great.
I really need to read Holly Black at some point!
I remember when this book came out! I'd like to try Holly Black one day and I remember this one got a lot of praise.
I think I saw it as pretty meh
I found this one at the Dollar Tree a while back and it is still sitting on my shelf too. I need to pick up!
I hope you like it when you read it.
I've always meant to read this one too. I have heard mixed opinions though so I think it might have scared me off. I also think I have a copy on my Kindle somewhere.
This ones new to me.
I have been wanting to read Holly Black for awhile. I have heard mixed things about this book. I hope you enjoy it if you do read it, Carole!
I haven't read this so can't comment on the book itself, but the text-veins on the cover are really creeping me out!
I have only read Holly Black's childrens Spiderwick series, but I did enjoy those! I think when I try her work more I am going to read her Cruel Prince series to start with though.
i haven't read any of her work, but this does look like a good one to me. hope you enjoy it
