"Paranormal YA sequel is as good as first"

Fresh Fiction Review

Awake At Dawn
C.C. Hunter

Reviewed by Kathyrn Little
Posted November 9, 2011

Paranormal - Supernatural | Young Adult Paranormal

A continuation in the Shadow Falls series, this book is just as good as the first. Kylie, the main character, does not know what type of paranormal creature she could possibly be. Her confusion and angst permeates through the novel. On the bright side, Kylie does discover and learn to control quite a few new abilities.

This novel contains a love triangle, one that was left unanswered in the first book. Should Kylie choose Lucas or Derek? There are good and bad qualities to both boys, of course. Kylie's heart is not pointing in either direction at the beginning of the novel. Will she make a choice sometime at the end of this novel?

As a character, Kylie is impressive. She doesn't come off as overly obsessed with boys or whiny, she tends to be smart, teachable, and can have a bit of a cold exterior when she wants to be alone. Her two best friends continue to look out for her and they help Kylie through quite a few difficult events in this book.

Overall, any reader who enjoyed the first book or like paranormal teen romance is likely going to enjoy AWAKE AT DAWN.

SUMMARY

Now that she’s settled in at Shadow Falls Camp, Kylie Galen’s determined to discover the extent of her supernatural abilities. But with a ghost insisting someone Kylie loves is about die, a rogue vampire on a murdering rampage, and her sixth sense telling her someone is watching her, Kylie’s quest for answers is quickly put on hold.

To make matters worse, just when she’s about to give her heart to Derek, a half-fairy, he starts pulling away. When Lucas, a werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past, returns, Kylie’s feels more conflicted than ever. Her weekend with her mom should have been the just the break Kylie needs, but it turns out to be her breaking point. Someone from the dark side of the supernatural world has plans for Kylie--and it'll take all her resources to get back to Shadow Falls alive...
