Dawn Madison has finally joined the Limpet and Associates team in their quest to find the vampire Underground that is hidden in Los Angeles. Dawn's mother, Eva, is a part of this mysterious Underground because she is a vampire, which makes Dawn part vampire. Dawn never knew her mother because she walked away when Dawn was only a month old. She lived with her father who took care of her growing up. Now Eva has her father, and Dawn has to find out a way to rescue him. Kiko, a friend of Dawn who has visions, told her that she is the "key" to destroying the Underground. But Dawn is so confused because she is not getting the answers she longs for, especially from Jonah Limpet, who Dawn works for. Ever since one of their owned, was killed, Dawn can't get over the loss and lashes out at Jonah, who is not a normal man. A spirit resides in his body that has used Dawn in the past through sexual enlightenment, so he can keep his power. Dawn is now fed up with Jonah and his vague references to everything.

The only person Dawn feels she can count on is P.I. Matt Lonigan, who she is very attracted to. But Dawn doesn't know that Matt is also not what he seems. Matt is actually the Master of the Underground vampire coven who wants Dawn so very badly. Since he cannot have Eva, he will take Dawn. With Dawn by his side, he will continue to take over Hollywood, and perhaps she will be the woman who will give him all her love and devotion.

Dawn has entered into a world where people have given up their souls in order to stay young. And the most famous of actors and actresses in Hollywood are part of the Underground. Eva is also part of the Hollywood elite who gave up her soul and denied Dawn a mother. Since Dawn will never forgive Eva for that, she will take her down with the rest of the enemy.

BREAK OF DAWN is the third book in Chris Marie Green's Vampire Babylon series. Set in a paranormal Hollywood, there are vampires and spirits who long to be immortal and will stop at nothing to accomplish this. Even the ones you expect to be good, are just as ambiguous in their goals as the villains. Dawn, the heroine, is torn in half because of her mother, and the loyalty she has for her boss, Jonah who uses Dawn for his own means. Some readers may think Jonah is being selfish when it comes to Dawn, but when you find out why he does the things he do, you will have a better understanding about the character.

Nothing is cut and dry in BREAK OF DAWN, and many sides are blurred, especially the way Green allows us into the minds and emotions of her characters, that include Eva, as well as the Master who just wants to be loved. The vampire myth that Green has written is very original and will take the reader places you would have never imagined.

Fans of Chris Marie Green will not be disappointed in the least by BREAK OF DAWN and will anxiously be awaiting the next release in this series.
