Kanin's expression didn't change. "You are still thinking like human," he said. "Listen to me, Allison, and keep your mind open. Mortals views death in terms of black and white-you are either alive, or you are not. But between them-between life and death  and eternity-there is a small gray area, one that the humans have no knowledge of. That is where we reside,vampires and rabids and a few of the older, inexplicable creatures that still exist in this world. The humans cannot understand us, because we live by a different set of rules". I'm still not sure I understand. "we have no heartbeat," my mentor continued, lightly touching his own chest, "you wonder how the blood can pump through your veins, right? it doesn't. You have no blood. None that is your own,anyway, Think of it as our food and drink  -it is absorbed into the body the same way. Blood is the the core of our power. It is how we live, it is how we heal. The longer we go without, the father we slip from humanity, until we resemble the cold, empty, living corpses the humans think us to be." I started at Kanin, looking for any sign that he wasn't human. His skin was pale, and his eyes were hollow, but he wasn't corpselike. Unless you looked really hard, you wouldn't know he was a vampire at all.

The night Allie is attacked by Rabid - and given the ultimate choice. She needed to decide whether she would become a vampire or die. In a land ruled by Vampires, and overrun with rabids creatures and humans bitten by vampires and turned into rabid with absolute no control or reason, a young girl fights against the odds to preserve her humanity, and to accept what she has become. Allison lives in a Vampire City. She has a fierce hatred for these soulless creatures who put humans on registers and feed off them at the humans designated time. But in a moment of desperation, when Allison is facing the inevitability of death after a brutal attack from rabids, Allison chooses life over death, to become a vampire, the very creature she despises. But her will to live, even a life as a dead creature, overrides her hatred. And so begins her new life.Allison a Hater of vampires, and understanding that sometimes to survive, you need to leave people behind you. But now Allison is that monster, and may very well kill these people if she lets her Hunger overcome her. Allison has to fight this wild desire in order to preserve some semblance of her humanity.Kanin is the one who successfully converted Allie to vampire. He is ruthless trainer, he is genious, he is mystery and he is fantastic.

I like this passage because of the setting. Choosing to live, to survive, she accepted what she despised the most - to be a vampire. But she refuses to be like them, she refuses to drink blood, and most of all, she refuses to accept it and become a monster . And the author show Allie was not a centuries-old vampire. She was like a baby vamp, and with the memory of her human life still so very fresh, she seemed more human than not most of the time. So it was conceivable that she was still attached to human beings, rather than seeing them merely as a succession of food items. A few very small things bugged me, such as Kanin telling Allie she didn't need to breathe ; the thing is, they've been talking, and you can't talk without breathing, because how will your voice box work without air? There is very little I //didn't // like (love!) about this story. It makes you cringe, it makes you hate vampires.

The show that vampire are the most evil in the world vampires are to be feared and avoided. The world-building was perfect, the reader gets an understanding of the system in New Covington. Also the author brings you into the intense fights and scrambles for life, and it’s like you’re right there witnessing the atrocity.

social critique the author show vamps that can control their desire for human blood, and sparkle shine like they’re Prince Charming themselves. They made their own systems for living, including cities which they made for themselves and for their own pleasures and living
