(4) YA Following a war that left the population of vampire-like Darklings oppressed and ghettoized, human Natalie and half-Darkling Ash fall in love and uncover a genocidal conspiracy hatched by the purity-obsessed human government. Ash and Natalie's relationship drama seems petty next to the gritty horror of their world, but that world is vividly painted and imbued with provocative (if heavy-handed) social commentary.
