Reviews* "Replete with grisly violence, an intriguingly complex take on the mechanics of vampirism, and well-developed and memorable characters, this superior, dread-soaked tale will satisfy vampire addicts of all ages."-- Publishers Weekly, starred review, "Black's compelling prose, descriptive yet direct, conjures a modern gothic world populated by cruel immortals, desperate humans offering themselves as food, and a few hardscrabble survivors. Tana is a winning heroine, by turns staking killer vampires and giving herself over to Gavriel's deep, smoldering kisses."-- The Horn Book, * "With rapid-fire dialogue, lavish details, and a wildly imagined world, this will enthrall Black's fans from start to finish and leave them hoping for another bone-chilling vicarious tour of Coldtown."-- Booklist, starred review, *"Black returns here to the dark faery realm that spurred her initial success, and if anything, she's only gotten better, writing with an elegant, economical precision and wringing searing emotional resonance from the simplest of sentences." -- The Bulletin, starred review, "Black's stark, eerie tone; propulsive pacing; and fulsome world building will certainly delight her legion of fans."-- Booklist, "This edgy, dark fantasy will be a hit with young adults who like their magical creatures to live in a recognizably contemporary world." -- Library Media Connection, *"Teens with a yen for dark, futuristic novels, and maybe even a few Anne Rice readers, will find this a refreshing take on vampire lit. As always, Black's writing is quick paced and thought-provoking. A must-have for any teen collection."-- School Library Journal, starred review, Praise for The Darkest Part of the Forest : A Kids' Indie Next List Book of the Year "Lush settings juxtapose the wild, alien nature of Faerie against the normalcy of mortal existence."-- School Library Journal, * "You may be ready to put a stake in vampire lit, but read this first: It's dark and dangerous, bloody and brilliant."-- Kirkus, starred review, *"Black returns to the realm of faerie for her latest novel, and the results, as any of her fans would expect, are terrific." -- VOYA, starred review, "This is a solidly paced adventure studded with the occasional steamy encounter, so readers familiar with Black's mix of emotional depth and outstanding world-building will not be disappointed." -- BCCB, "Like a true fairy tale, Black's story weds blinding romance and dark terrors, but her worthy heroes are up to the challenge of both." -- The Horn Book
