The Darkness Before Dawn series is set in a dystopian world, where vampires need no longer hide I'm the shadows, they are the dominant species. Dawn, the female heroine isn't as strong as her character peers in other popular paranormal series', she's likeable, but rather annoying. It's a shame, as the series is quite entertaining.

After Daybreak is well written and ends the series on beautiful, almost touching, note. But the showdown with Sin, which is what the series has been building towards, was a letdown sadly. The equivalent would be, telling the kids the family is going to Disneyland... And ending up at the dentist. But I still enjoyed it, despite my disappointment.
