Vampires are extinct. The mortals won that war decades ago. But the legends of the blood thirsty creatures live on with the alluring hybrids they left behind. Fallon's village fears them. They lock them away to use and abuse them. Not that they treat mortals like herself much better. Her mother finds a way to save one of the mysterious hybrid vampires. He's beautiful in every way. He's powerful. He's deadly. Her mother says he deserves a life. She says he's not the monster they've been taught to fear. She says he's different. If she's right, the hybrid and the mortal girl can help one another. If she's wrong, it'll cost them all of their lives. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Controlling human government versus the entire mystical world. This government is masterfully deceptive; the citizens believe their lives are so much better now. There’s no need for money. Everyone has a job assigned based on intelligence and social standing. Food is rationed out. Requests may be submitted for a union, but are decided by the government. Even the miracle of birth must first be approved. Reminds me a bit of George Orwell’s 1984.
As we follow the group we learn more about the characters. Kyle, injured during military service, protects Charlotte and Fallon as if they are his responsibility. Charlotte is Fallon’s mother and researcher at the local pike facility. Pikes are the human-vampire hybrids renamed using numbers. Forty-four seems to be of major interest to the head researcher, Dr. Shaw. Seventeen-year-old Fallon was matched to a boy named Micah. He mysteriously disappeared.
While adventuring, Fallon learns lessons she should have been taught in school. She should already know if hybrids are blood-thirsty creatures. She should have learned about the dangers hidden in the forests. Mystical creatures are real. They can, and will, kill.
