COLDTOWN WAS DANGEROUS, TANA KNEW. A GLAMOROUS CAGE, A PRISON FOR THE DAMNED AND ANYONE WHO WANTED TO PARTY WITH THEM?
Tana lived 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 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.

O_O AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I cannot even begin to express how much I want to read this book. First, it’s by Holly Black. Holly freaking Black. She is one of the authors that made me fall in love with YA lit. Second, I read her short story of the same title years ago and remember wishing it was a book. And third, THAT COVER!!!!!!!!!!! Kind of creepy, totally gorgeous, NEEDED on my shelf!
