Read & Enjoyed Recently: “The Coldest Girl In Coldtown” by Holly Black

As I said recently in my post on Emily St John Mandel’s Station Eleven: “…it’s not the genre but how the genre is executed that really counts.”

It’s also relevant that I mentioned being a tad over vampire novels, particularly the YA variants.

Nonetheless, Holly Black’s The Coldest Girl In Coldtown is a vampire novel and I enjoyed it all the same. It’s an entertaining, well-paced read, with a number of interesting and sympathetic characters (as well as a number of decidedly unsympathetic ones)...
