The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
I liked this book, I did, but I had a hard time staying focused on it. It took more than a week to read, and this is only partially because I read another book in the meantime, plus I went on two weekend trips. It's about vampires, so if you dig them, you'll like this.
It's the summer before her senior year of high school, and Tana has attended a party. She passed out at the party, and when she wakes up, she finds herself in the middle of a massacre. Vampires have attacked the place, and this is not cool because the vampires are supposed to stay in Coldtown-places set up around the country to house vampires and those that have been infected. As she is leaving, Tana sees her former boyfriend tied to a bed, meant to be a vampire snack. He's been bitten, so he is infected, and has to go to Coldtown. She also rescues a vampire named Gavriel. Tana agrees to take them to Coldtown. Along the way, they meet Midnight and Winter, a sister and brother who desperately want to become vampires.
Once they get to Coldtown, Tana gets a marker so she can eventually leave. She may or may not be infected, but only time will tell. Her former boyfriend, Aidan, becomes a vampire, as does Midnight. Then all hell breaks loose. Gavriel, as it turns out, has a bounty on his head, and the main guy in Coldtown is looking for him.
I won't go further than that. I didn't think it lived up to the hype on the back, but it wasn't a bad read either.
