Our customer reviews
I read this book in 4 hours, yes 4 hours. it was fast pacing and exciting, from the first page you never know what is going to happen!
I have read a lot of vampire books and most are the same, but the coldest girl in cold-town has brought a whole new twist to vampire i found it to but very entertaining. I would recommend this book to people who may have lost their faith in vampires but Holly Black has brought them back.
