The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
In this paranormal romance, Tana lives in a world where vampires are real and live in walled-off cities called Coldtowns in order to keep humans safe. Tana wakes up after a party to find all of the party-goers dead, her ex-boyfriend bitten, and a vampire named Gavriel. Tana takes Gavriel and her ex, Aiden, to a coldtown and pick up two wannabe vampires named Winter and Midnight. While in Coldtown, Aiden turns into a vampire, and steals Tana's Coldtown exit pass. Meanwhile, Midnight becomes a vampire, kills his friend Winter, and attacks Tana and bites her. Tana then becomes a dormant vampire that is turning "cold," and Tana must avoid drinking vampire blood or become fully turned. Tana teams up with Gavriel to go after a head vampire named Lucien, and Tana ends up killing Lucien in defense. Tana then decides to wait out her infection so she will not fully turn, with Gavriel at her side.
