Waiting on Wednesday (72)

Posted by Giselle

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine 

and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. 

My pick this week:

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown

Holly Black

Genre: YA Paranormal
Release date: September 17th 2013
by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

COLDTOWN WAS DANGEROUS, TANA KNEW. A GLAMOROUS CAGE, A PRISON FOR THE DAMNED AND ANYONE WHO WANTED TO PARTY WITH THEM?

Tana lived in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. The only problem is, once you pass through Coldtown’s gates, you can never leave.

One morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself

Holly. Black.

😀

What are you waiting on, this Wednesday?

   Hehe I know how many people adore Holly Black. I need to get back to reading her other books because everyone seems to adore her.
   This one sounds great even though the cover could be prettier..

   Hi Giselle 🙂 Great pick for WOW! I haven’t read any books by Holly Black yet, but I’ve heard that she is a great author. Thanks for introducing me to this book. I love books in the post apocalypse genre, and this one sounds unique!

   I haven’t read anything by Holly Black but this sounds amazing! Very curious about these walled Coldtowns. Only thing that sounds disappointing is that it smells of a love triangle what with her stuck with her ex and a new boy.
   My WOW

   Megan K. February 6th, 2013 10:16:34

   Totally looking forward to this, too! Holly Black is such a great fantasy writer – hope this one doesn’t disappoint. 🙂 Great pick!

    I think I read the short story for this. I’m fairly certain anyway. I think it was good. And it’s the only thing by Holly Black I remember reading (besides one or two other shorts stories). Something tells me I should probably read more…

    I was looking at this on GR yesterday and am still not quite sure if it’s my kind of read, but considering it’s HOLLY-FREAKING-BLACK, I’ll likely give it a chance anyway 🙂

    Great pick, muffin! <3

    I suppose I should get around to reading Holly Black, huh? I was going to start with Curse Workers. Maybe I’ll start here; this one sounds really cool (sorry, pun sort of intended). Awesome find!! I added to my ever bulging list 🙂
