The Farm by Emily McKay
5.0

It's been a long time since I've read a dystopian/end of the world/supernatural whatchamacallit book that I really enjoyed. I'd been hunting for this book ever since I first saw it in a bookstore and finally got my hands on it and could not put it down. Such a different take on the world ending and while there are vampires involved, they do not become the focus of the story. The one vampire that's mentioned through out the entire book is there, but he's not overpowering everyone else. He's serving a purpose that does not involve sparkling or dazzling, but is more about helping the humans save the world.

And for once, the protagonist does not annoy me. I've been annoyed by Katniss and Tris so often while reading Hunger Games and Divergent, but Lily does not make me want to smack her head against a wall. Everything about this world is interesting and I cannot wait to read the next two books, just to see how it all works out.

PS. I love Mel.
