A great change of pace in teen fiction littered with Vampire romance.īut I feel like the authors played this conclusion way too safe. The romance, the world-building, the characters. flat after it was revealed.Īll in all, I really liked this book - I really liked the series as a whole. Likewise, the shocker about Dawn's heritage, mostly revealed in the previous book but really clarified in this one, was a surprise. as soon as I 'got it' I realized where the book was going. I did NOT see the town of Crimson Sands coming. The surprising parts came pretty early on in the novel and were well-done. And After Daybreak was just as surprising as the 1st in the series, yet just as obvious as the 2nd. The third one I pre-ordered, downloaded it at 12:01 on the Tuesday it was released, and dug right on in. that was a little too neatly done and convenient but who cares? There's a whole 'nother book to come!"
The second one I got my hands on as soon as possible and thought "aight. I remember picking up the first novel in this trilogy and thinking "whoa, that was. But the authors played the conclusion to this trilogy way, way too safe. I think people that are huge fans of the standard paranormal YA will enjoy this. Only half decent characters were Michael, Tegan and Faith (hated that Faith was centuries old yet for 98yrs had sex with no-one because she was so in love with some other guy - get fucking real)!Īll in all, rubbish but I've read worse. Evul characters are evul because of daddy issues - so fucking tropey.
Cheesy, forgettable and cringey romance. Why can't he get a girl his own age? He must like them young. What's a centuries old guy lusting after an inexperienced teenage girl for? The sleazy perv. She didn't think or say anything remotely interesting or original. Dawn (the MC) was a Mary Sue speshul snowflake - she turns out to be a previously unheard of dhampire, and some long lost descendant of a super old vampire family. I was rolling my eyes at their cheesy declarations and speeches. Humans are weak and need an unremarkable boring teenager to defend them blah blah blah. Vampires need blood, they be bastards to humans.
I couldn't be bothered writing a proper review.
