The Immortal Rules By Julie Kagawa
Cover Reveal
New Series By Julie Kagawa Author of The Iron Fey SeriesThe Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden)
You will kill. The only question is when.
In the dark days since the insidious Red Lung virus decimated the human population, vampires have risen to rule the crumbling cities and suburbs. Uncontested Princes hold sway over diminished ranks of humans: their "pets." In exchange for their labor, loyalty and of course, their blood, these pets are registered, given food and shelter, permitted to survive.
Unregistered humans cling to fringes, scavenging for survival. Allison Sekemoto and her fellow Unregistered are hunted, not only by vampires, but by rabids, the unholy result of Red Lung-infected vampires feeding on unwary humans. One night, Allie is attacked by a pack of rabids, saved by an unlikely hero...and turned vampire.
Uncomfortable in her undead skin, Allie falls in with a ragtag crew of humans seeking a cure, or cures: for Rabidism and for Vampirism. She's passing for human...for now. But the hunger is growing and will not be denied. Not for friendship—not even for love.Hardcover, 304 pagesExpected publication: April 24th 2012 by Harlequin Teen

This book is a great start to a new series. I'll admit to being worried initially when I saw how much description and exposition was going into setting up the world, but Kagawa does a great job of using it to add tension as well as set the scene. In addition to creating a heroine and love-interest everyone will root for, you have the conflicting morals of good and evil, the well-written fight scenes, and great emotional depth. I was so happy that this book had a complete plot arc that was able to set up book two without leaving the reader feeling cheated. In many ways The Immortal Rules had twists that surprised me and subplots that I wasn't expecting to pull the story together as well as they worked.
Really? I haven't read it yet, but i will.
