* "Replete with grisly violence, an intriguingly complex take on
the mechanics of vampirism, and well-developed and memorable
characters, this superior, dread-soaked tale will satisfy vampire
addicts of all ages."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
* "With rapid-fire dialogue, lavish details, and a wildly imagined
world, this will enthrall Black's fans from start to finish and
leave them hoping for another bone-chilling vicarious tour of
Coldtown."--Booklist (starred review)
* "You may be ready to put a stake in vampire lit, but read this
first: It's dark and dangerous, bloody and brilliant."--Kirkus
(starred review)
*"Teens with a yen for dark, futuristic novels, and maybe even a
few Anne Rice readers, will find this a refreshing take on vampire
lit. As always, Black's writing is quick paced and
thought-provoking. A must-have for any teen collection."--School
Library Journal (starred review)
"Black's compelling prose, descriptive yet direct, conjures a
modern gothic world populated by cruel immortals, desperate humans
offering themselves as food, and a few hardscrabble survivors. Tana
is a winning heroine, by turns staking killer vampires and giving
herself over to Gavriel's deep, smoldering kisses."--The Horn
Book
"This is a solidly paced adventure studded with the occasional
steamy encounter, so readers familiar with Black's mix of emotional
depth and outstanding world-building will not be
disappointed."--BCCB
"We've all read a million YA vampire stories at this point, but no
one writes like Holly Black: Her worlds are funny and eerily vivid,
and Coldtown-a rollicking and decadent ghetto-is one of my all-time
favorite fantasy novel settings."--Author of The Fault in Our Stars
