“The
mighty hunter,” I quipped as we snuck out the backdoor, escaping into the yard.
“He can take down vicious rabids and rampaging boars, but one old lady can make
him flee in terror.”
“One scary old lady,” he corrected me, looking relieved to be out of the house. “You didn’t hear what she told me when I got up — you’re so cute I could put you in a pie. Tell me that’s not the creepiest thing you’ve ever heard.” His voice climbed a few octaves, turning shrill and breathy. “Today for dessert, we have apple pie, blueberry pie and Ezekiel pie.”

YA Paranormal/Dystopian

Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a walled-in city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten. Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them—the vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself dies and becomes one of the monsters.
Forced to flee her city, Allie must pass for human as she joins a ragged group of pilgrims seeking a legend—a place that might have a cure for the disease that killed off most of civilization and created the rabids, the bloodthirsty creatures who threaten human and vampire alike. And soon Allie will have to decide what and who is worth dying for… again.
Enter Julie Kagawa's dark and twisted world as an unforgettable journey begins.
My Thoughts
Allie and Ezekiel have a very tentative friendship. They are learning each other, but they are fun together. Allie isn't really sure of her place in the world, but Ezekiel makes her feel like she belongs.
The "escaping" they are doing here is from the "old lady" who lives on the farm where they are currently staying.
Great teaser! I have had this one on my wish list for awhile, but you've made me want to pick it up!
