It is 1985 and the United States is reeling from a disease that has taken huge, bloody bites out of the country as people are changed into vampires. The survivors have grouped together in remote outposts and the National Guard is the lifeline that runs between the outposts, bringing news and supplies.This is a well written trilogy. I think you could read the books as stand alones, but would miss a lot if you did.This is the story of Promise, once known by another name in a different life. Life has slapped her hard at a young age with the death of her parents and the loss of her baby brother. Her struggles and questions about the world and herself are not the overblown teenager kind. They are the questions of a young adult ripped from the world she knew to a world without laughter or safety.I enjoyed this coming of age in a dark world read. I would recommend it to ages 16 upward as there are some fairly gory scenes.
