Katie (The Hallowed Ones) was shunned by her Amish community after the rise of vampires. When she and her "English" (non-Amish) boyfriend Alex find other survivors, Katie--who's already compromised her values--balks at their new allies' (somewhat implausible) bioengineered defense against the creatures. This unusual vampire story raises questions of faith, ethics, and science while offering a glimpse into Amish culture.
