"Zeke..." I wanted to tell him that was screwed up, that jebbadiah Cross was a cold, unreasonable, heartless bastard,but I couldn't. Because, in some sad, twisted way, I agreed with him. Growing up in the Fringe, you came to accept hard truths. Nothing was fair. The world was cold, unforgiving, and people died. It was just the way things were. I didn't like it, but the old man's reasoning wasn't unjustified. Though I still thought he was a #|complete bastard. "Anyway..." Zeke shrugged , giving me a small, embarrassed grin. "You're welcome.And I'm glad you came back. It was a   good thing    ,too-you got us off the road in time. Thank you for that." "Sure." I paused chewing my lip, Now seemed as good a time as any, but I wondered how best to bring it up. I opted for my usual dive right in approach. "Zeke...who's jackal?" He stumbled, then looked at me sharply,  blue eyes   narrowing. I knew I had something and hurried on. "The men said jackal was looking for someone. It's you, isn't it? Or the group." I nodded to the  people walking   ahead of us. Who is he, and what does he want from you?" I cast about for another topic, another way to extract his carefully guarded secrets, but something else he 'd said caught my attention. "wait a minute," I muttered, frowning at him."you've been wandering around, looking for Eden, for a couple years?"

The author introduce a new character Zeke. Zeke was a  great love   interest, broken but fixed, a leader yet still needing his family. Still remembering things that hurt. And that made me like him even more. The author show he has a sense of humor. Zeke is a more different from Peeta in the hunger game. He's strong, determined, and loyal. He's also gentle, naïve, and a bit too nice and caring. I always thought: where are this kid's flaws? All I hear are good things about him. Perhaps the author emphasized through Allie's narration that he's //too// genuinely nice and caring. That his personality might get him into trouble. I really enjoyed Allie and Zeke's romance, though. I loved how their friendship developed throughout the events in their story and how they came to like each other as more than friends. It was very well written. The romantic development was really good, not rush and definitely not an insta-love. I love how Allison and Zeke slowly learned and knew one another and saw the best and worst about them and eventually learning to care and trust each other.

The world building Allie decides to follow Zeke and his gang so that they can reach their Eden safely. Eden is a peaceful island where they believe all humans exist, No vampires, rabids. Then there's a vampire named Jackal who is set on creating his own vampire kingdom and destroying all humans. His raiders kidnap Zeke's gang and take them to his tower because Jeb has the cure for the rabids. Allie, faced Jackal. Then he wants her to #|join his kingdom. Another story about how the king wants the girl to join his kingdom and stand side by side. Allie saves all of the kids while Jackal disappears. They were super close to finding Eden before Allie decides that she must find Kanin and return what he gave her. In other words, save him.

It doesn't take long for Allie to lose more than just her parents. She loses the only friends she has ever known and her own life as a human. Allie is a strong female lead, who does what she must to survive, but...she also has flaws and battles internally about what is right and wrong.

social critique The romantic arc in The Immortal Rules is most certainly present, but Allison is often able to set it aside completely or push it down when she needs to focus on important matters. throughout the passage the author show no Christian belief
