In The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, did you enjoy ...

... morally complex protagonists and the blurred line between hero and villain?

Vicious by V.E. Schwab

If you loved the way The Coldest Girl in Coldtown made you question who the real monsters are—both among the vampires and the humans—you'll be captivated by Vicious. Victor and Eli, two former friends turned bitter rivals, both have extraordinary powers and even more extraordinary moral ambiguities. As their obsession with revenge and justice grows, so too does the murky territory between right and wrong.

... richly detailed worldbuilding and unique takes on supernatural beings?

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

If the intricate, atmospheric cities and the fresh spin on vampire lore in The Coldest Girl in Coldtown drew you in, you'll be enchanted by the world of Seraphina. Hartman crafts a medieval city brimming with secrets, court intrigue, and dragons who walk among humans in disguise. The attention to cultural nuance and history makes the setting as compelling as the characters.

... dark, gritty settings where monsters and violence shape society?

This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab

If you were gripped by Coldtown's dangerous, decaying urban landscape and the constant threat of violence, This Savage Song will hook you from the first page. The city of Verity is divided by its monsters and humans, and the violence is as much a part of the world as its supernatural rules. August and Kate's journey through this bleak environment brings the same tense, gritty energy.

... unexpected twists and unsettling mysteries?

Bone Gap by Laura Ruby

If you enjoyed how The Coldest Girl in Coldtown kept you guessing—never sure who to trust or what would happen next—The Bone Gap delivers a wonderfully strange, twisty narrative. When Roza disappears from a small town, Finn's quest to find her is full of surprises, riddles, and moments that turn the story on its head in ways you won't see coming.

... dark, dangerous magic rooted in blood and sacrifice?

Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton

If the sinister allure of vampirism and the consequences of dark powers fascinated you in The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, you'll be drawn to Blood Magic. Here, magic comes at a bloody price, and the characters must confront the lure and horror of using it. The stakes are as personal and perilous as in Holly Black's world.
