VENGEANCE WILL BE HERS

Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the ultimate question: is she a human or monster?

With the death of her love she has her answer.

MONSTER

Embracing her inner darkness, Allie is now determined to hunt and kill Sarren, the psychopath who murdered Zeke.

But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren is leading Allie's dangerous fight to the one place she must protect at any cost - Eden, the last safe-zone on earth.

Forced into a battle that it may be impossible to win, Allie is about to face her darkest days.

And if she succeeds, she could face surviving forever alone.

The Blood of Eden series is by far one of my favourites. Allie has transformed from a Fringer, a girl who lived on the streets as a protest against their Vampire Lords, refusing to donate her blood the way her mother did. Now she's a Vampire herself and deals with the constant battle between living as a monster and retaining her humanity. She's tough, determined and now seeking revenge for the death of the boy who taught her how to live. But Sorren is as cunning as he is manipulative and viscous and won't go down without the fight of their immortal lives.

Julie Kagawa is brilliant, she not only created a frightening and devastating world, but filled it with incredible characters that you'll either loathe, or grow to love. I simply love Jackal, his quick wit keep the otherwise dark storyline, light and breaks up with tension with brilliant banter. Like Warner's character in the Shatter Me series, Jackal makes the transformation from villain to likable hero as he joins the battle against Sorren.

The Forever Song wraps up quite nicely, but feels more opened ended than the happy ending most of us are hoping for. It'll leave fans asking if this really is the finale. I for one would love to read more about the dystopian world that Julie Kagawa created, and whether or not society will recover. But as far as endings go, this one is pretty damn good.
