A Novel to Help Overcome Vampire Fatigue

This is the first audiobook I’ve ever read/listened to, and I think in this case the narrator worked well for the story, since she didn’t distract me.  In Tana’s world, vampires are real.  When she was only six, a vampire decided he was tired of living in the shadows, and infected many people, leading to a worldwide epidemic.  In Black’s world, you don’t have to drink vampire blood to switch over, but you are infected once they bite you, and if you drink human blood while infected, you will die and wake up a vampire.  Given the uncontrollable hunger that accompanies the infection, most give in.  By the time Tana was seven, vampires were common knowledge.  Now, Tana is sixteen, and vampires and humans have found a way to live together in the US, at least to an extent.  The vampires have all been segregated and locked up in Coldtowns, seven of which exist in America.  Springfield, Massachusetts is the first and oldest as the location of the first outbreak and also relatively close to Tana’s hometown.  Full review.
