This is going to be a short review b/c I've been a little generous with my time for these lately! I really enjoyed this book, I am a huge fan of the vampire themed stories, and this was really just a great read. Kagawa sucks you in from page one with an eerie, disturbing setting for this story, and I liked that we get to know Allie as a human before all of the action starts. Her life pretty much just sucks, and when her decision to lead her friends out in unsafe lands for food leaves her alone and dying, her saving grace is a vamp that can turn her. If she chooses it. So, she becomes what she hates in order to survive, and her world will never be the same. Kanin, her sire, trains her in the life of a vampire, then she sets off on her own into the outer lands, where the rabids roam free and kill anything in their path. There she meets up with a group of humans that are traveling to find Eden, a rumored city where they will be safe from the rabids. Allie has to hide what she is from these humans if she wants to survive, but with nosy Ruth hating her and a mutual attraction for the steamy Zeke, it may not be easy.This story was full of action and twists, it was virtually non-stop thrills or drama once Allie is in the outlands. I loved that Allie was totally bad-ass, even though she tended to be a little selfish before she met up with the humans. I was upset with how she put Kanin in grave danger and then just left, but I'm hopeful that she can redeem herself later!! She grows so much throughout the story, putting the needs of others before hers and really owning what she has become. There were so many upsetting moments in the story, characters I grew to care about losing their lives or suffering. But the journey they take was exciting and an absolute blast to read, and I actually like the way things wrapped up. Nothing's set in stone, yet we don't get that 'happily ever after' feel since there's so much more of the story to come. Will be looking forward to the next book in this series!!
