If the ruined cities, feral Rabids, and Allison’s perilous journey with human survivors toward “Eden” gripped you, The Passage will feel like a grand, harrowing echo. You’ll get terrifying, near-feral vampires, perilous road survival, and the same pulse of hope threaded through devastation—only on a sweeping scale that mirrors Allison’s fight to keep her humanity while navigating monsters and men alike.
Kanin’s hard lessons—teaching Allison how to be a vampire without becoming a monster—mirror the way Sabriel is trained to face death’s creatures with discipline and compassion. In Sabriel, necromantic craft replaces blood hunger, but that same mentor-forged moral compass and apprentice grit drives a young heroine to confront the undead and define who she’ll be.
Allison’s struggle to manage the thirst, make ruthless calls, and still protect those she cares about finds a kindred spirit in Atl, a vampire on the run through Mexico City’s underworld. Certain Dark Things leans into the razor’s edge you liked when Allison chose when—and how—to feed, pairing gritty stakes with a fierce, complicated anti-heroine.
If the tense scrambles through ruined zones, scavenging runs, and hard choices Allison makes to keep her group alive hooked you, The Girl with All the Gifts brings that same survival urgency. As Melanie and her escorts push through hostile territory, you’ll feel the familiar clash of compassion versus necessity that defined Allison’s toughest calls.
The grim alleys, brutal fights, and hunger-driven choices in The Immortal Rules meet their match in The Coldest Girl in Coldtown. As Tana navigates locked cities of vampires, backstabbing politics, and intoxicating danger—much like Allison threading between predators and prey—you’ll get that same dark, knife’s-edge atmosphere.
