This continuation of the Darkness before Dawn series finds the heroine, Dawn, confronting a new, terrifying threat: Day Walkers, a type of vampire that can move freely in the daylight as they prey upon their victims. While Day Walker attacks are damaging the fragile pact made between humans and vampires, Dawn must travel to the West Coast to investigate another threat: the Thirst, which afflicts blood-starved vampires, causing them to become rabid killing machines. In the middle of this blood-driven chaos, Dawn tries to navigate her complicated feelings for Victor, the new vampire Lord Valentine. Fans of Twilight will enjoy this read-alike.

The second book in a romantic and drama-packed trilogy perfect for fans of Rachel Vincent, Julie Kagawa, and Alyson Noel.

Lusciously romantic and full of action-packed drama, readers will be swept away by this thrilling novel.

Dawn Montgomery knows that monsters really do come out at night—after all, they are her job. It’s just after the thirty-year war between vampires and humans, and as an ambassador between the two sides (a role she inherited when her parents were killed), Dawn quickly learns that balancing schoolwork, teen life, and the requests of Lord Valentine, the most frightening vampire in the region, isn’t easy.

There's nowhere left to hide. I thought vampires were our enemies—they controlled our lives, isolated our cities, and demanded our blood—until I met Victor. With Victor taking over as the new Lord Valentine, things were supposed to get better. Instead, they're worse than ever.

Day Walkers, a new breed of vampires who can walk in the sun, are terrorizing the city. Blood supplies are low, and if Victor's vampires don't get enough, they will become infected with the Thirst—a disease that will turn them into mindless killers.

To stop it, I must journey across the desolate wasteland to the very place where the sickness began. I can only hope that the answers that await me are enough to save us all...before it's too late.
