What more is there to say when you put the Amish community and a vampire
apocalypse together? It was a great read with some tense moments and
edge of your seat action scenes. But it was much more than that too. It
examined religion on a deep level asking tough questions about the
validity of a religious leaders right to rule the lives of others.
It
also examines the evil that resides in humankind. We have seen it rear
its ugly head in situations like Darfur and the Holocaust. But we
comfort ourselves that we have evolved into higher beings. This book
punches you in the face with the possibility that evil can once again
take hold of a society. And in spite of religious leaders who take
advantage of their positions, perhaps faith offers us a safe haven from
evil or vampires or whatever is stalking us.
This books delves
into places that will prompt discussion, but it is also quite
entertaining. The plot is tight and fast paced. The first person
narrator is well done showing the reader a glimpse into the mind of a
young girl on the verge of maturity. She is likeable and spunky, and you
immediately are drawn into her problems.
There are a few curse words sprinkled throughout, and there is a sex scene that is not described in detail but rather a fade to black scene. There are gruesome descriptions of the vampire's victims, and one violent scene at the end.
I am happy to say that I have the next book, and I will be starting it soon because I am dying to know what happens next.
