This isn't your typical dystopian book.  Where we usually find stories about surviving in times of hardship in a world we don't recognize anymore, here the world has been rebuilt and society has put itself together again.  And where once vampires and humans co-existed together, humans have made the vampires their slaves.This book has so many things going for it!  Ms. Salidas does an excellent job describing this new world.  All of the characters, no matter how minor, are well thought out and developed.  Overall, I feel this book will appeal to a broad range of readers.Mira is a badass!  She's spunky and you can't help but root for her.  She's been a slave for longer than she can remember and really wants nothing more than her freedom.  And it's during one of her escape attempts where she meets Lucian.Lucian is the Regent of the town and a human.  But lately he's been questioning everything he was raised to believe about vampires.  He develops an affinity for Mira and wants to help her, but she has to trust him.Can Mira learn to trust him? Can Lucian really help her achieve freedom?This is a really quick read and I was sucked into the story from the first page and my attention never wavered.  I can't wait to read the next book and see how the relationship between Mira and Lucian develops.
