The Immortal Rules

A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is exploring complex questions about morality and the weight of difficult choices in an unfair world. Set in a dystopian future where humanity is hunted by both vampires and mindless monsters, the story follows Allison Sekemoto, a girl who hates vampires but must become one to survive. This narrative serves as a powerful metaphor for maintaining one's humanity and ethics when pushed to the absolute limit. While the setting is dark and gritty, the core of the book is about the search for purpose and the refusal to become the very thing you hate. It is an intense, thought-provoking read for mature teens who enjoy high-stakes action and philosophical depth.
