"Welcome back the other kind of vampire: Mad, bad and dangerous to know, Gavriel is a worthy successor to Lord Byron (the supposed real-life inspiration for 19th century vampire literature, and certainly an influence on Gavriel, who might have spotted him a few rounds at a Venetian gaming hell). Holly Black never lets you forget that vampires are, before everything else, human predators. The morning after a wild party, Tana wakes up to find everyone dead — except her infuriating ex-boyfriend and a red-eyed boy. To get her vampire-bitten ex to safety, they go on what might be the best (or the worst) road trip in YA history, straight to the heart of Coldtown — a chillingly believable mix of prison camp and old-Vegas glamour."
