Booktalk: In a world where vampires don't hide from humans, but live openly in walled off cities called "coldtowns," humanity lives in conflict with itself. Some live in fear, others watch the tv feeds from coldtowns and want to become vampires themselves. Still others just want to be part of the party while remaining human.
How far would you go to protect your friends? Your ex-boyfriend? A stranger? When Tana wakes up in a bathtub after a hard night of partying, she finds that all her friends are dead. Not just dead, but slaughtered by vampires.
While fleeing the carnage of the party, Tana finds her ex-boyfriend Aiden tied up in one of the guest rooms. Aiden is infected, meaning he's been bitten by a vampire and is consumed with the desire to drink human blood. In the room with Aiden is a chained up vampire named Gavriel. For reasons she can't explain, Tana frees them both and they barely escape the vampires who murdered Tana's friends. But, where can they go? Can Tana help Aiden or will he kill her first? And what does Gavriel really want? Can they survive the trip to Coldtown?
