The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa

Not just another vampire book.  Oh, I really liked this one!  I believe the next one in the "Blood of Eden" series is coming out this summer and I will definitely be getting it for the library as soon as I can.  A disease has killed off most of human kind, vampires have always been around but hiding on the fringe of society, but now they are in charge.  Using humans as "blood cows."  At least those humans who are registered.  Allison Sekemoto, our wonderfully strong main character, is NOT one of those registered, because she refuses to be at the beck and call of monsters.  After a night of scavenging for food, Allison is attacked by "rabids" and she has to make a choice, die a forever death, or die and become one of the monsters she loathes.  And that is just the beginning of the novel.  Allison is so strong throughout this novel, trying to retain her humanity even when her need to hunt is almost unbearable.  There is a little bit of romance, but not a lot.  This is a very good read.
