About the book: Tana awakes after a party in a farm house. Everyone is dead. She struggles to escape and finds her ex-boyfriend Aidan. He is going cold and is chained up next to a vampire in a bedroom. She makes a plan to help them escape and get away. She is grazed by vampire teeth and may become infected herself. They go to coldtown with the help of Midnight and Winter, new friends. Tana makes several struggles to help her friends and herself. She becomes intrigued by Gavriel who is a very old vampire who is wanted by the Spider and Lucian Monroe. Tana struggles to move forward with the memory of her past. Her mother was infected and bit her when she was a child. She surprises herself with her determination and strength. She becomes infected and drinks vampire blood that accelerates the transformation. She does not want to go cold. After helping Gavriel kill Lucian, she celebrates with her friends. She is determined to wait out the infection and is locked away in a cellar. Gavreil enters the cellar to tell her he loves her and will support her in her decision. He sits with her as she begins the journey to see if she can become uncold. I really hope Holly Black does a second book about Tana.
Readers Response: Holly Black has a unique style in her writing. She writes about a very strong female character through Tana who is the heroine that won’t be kept down. Tana hopes for the best and continues to try no matter the struggles she comes upon. The quotes that Black puts at the beginning of each chapter and the relevance (symbolism) to the content of the chapter is uncanny.
