I received this ARC from NetGalley
Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the question: human or monster?
With the death of her love, Zeke, she has her answer.
MONSTER
Allie will embrace her cold vampire side to hunt down and end Sarren, the psychopathic vampire who murdered Zeke. But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren has left many surprises for Allie and her companions—her creator, Kanin, and her blood brother, Jackal. The trail is leading straight to the one place they must protect at any cost—the last vampire-free zone on Earth, Eden. And Sarren has one final, brutal shock in store for Allie. In a ruined world where no life is sacred and former allies can turn on you in one heartbeat, Allie will face her darkest days. And if she succeeds, triumph is short-lived in the face of surviving forever alone.
I just wanna start out by saying how much I loved how this all turned out. I mean true the death toll could have been lower, but then it wouldn't have been a book about a sadistic lunatic vampire insistent on bringing the world to an end. The book begins with Allie, Kanin, and Jackal tracking Sarren through the wilderness and discovering all the lovely surprises he has left along the way for them. Whole slaughtered towns just for dramatic effect. Allie has given up on her humanity because she lost the person she was hanging on for. She becomes the monster everyone has always thought she is and when she finally comes to realize she doesn't want to give into the monster and pulls herself together a huge surprise awaits her in Old Chicago. ARGH! I can't go into too much detail, but lets just say that SURPRISE is an understatement. Julie once again delivers on a book that will keep you on the edge til the very end. With selfless acts preformed by all, allegiances and betrayals you never saw coming. And just when you think it is over BAM!! There is more action. I'm glad the way this all turned out and have nothing but praise for Julie! Well Done again!!
