First off, I must say I’m not usually the hugest fan of vampire books. But the mix of things in this book made it such an amazing read! Not only was it set in kind of a Dystopian world, with the Zombie-Vampire-Rabids, but it also had lots of action, sword fights, and a little bit of romance. The cliffhanger at the end wasn’t too bad, but I was sad when it ended, I wanted to find out what happens next but it will have to wait for the next book.
I loved Allie, with her being a new Vampire and trying to save her humanity, trying to deal with what she is even though she has always hated the Vampires. She also has to fight off the hunger for blood that is always with her when she is close to humans, especially if she doesn’t want to hurt them. And there are quite a few times when she is tempted. Her struggles and attitude just made me love her.
Zeke was another awesome character, always trying to see the good side of everyone, openly welcoming Allie to their group, even though he doesn’t know what she is. He believes that they will find someplace safe for their group, a place called Eden, that is free of Vampires and Rabids, and will do anything to protect everyone so they all get there. But he also has another side, the one his father Jeb raised out of him, to hate the Vampires and Rabids.
This book definitely keeps you engaged, I kept wanting to read more and find out what happens to Allie on her adventures and the people she meets. I would definitely recommend this to anyone liking Vampires, anyone who is fan of the author, or who just wants to read something that they won’t be able to put down. There is a bit of death and violence, so be careful if you don’t like that.
