In BLOOD BEFORE SUNRISE, Darian is searching for the person that brutally betrayed her in the last book Sheades of Gray someone she once considered an ally. This quest begins to take over her life as she continuously puts herself in one dangerous situation after another. She will stop at nothing to find the truth and it is really beginning to take a toll on her relationships.

Darian and Ty's relationship is steamy yet strained in this book. She doesn't quite believe that he is capable of having her back even though she now knows the truth about him. This adds quite an interesting dynamic on their very layered relationship. Their bedroom sessions get quite interesting as well!

One of the relationships that I most enjoyed seeing develop this time around was the one between Darian and her trainer Raif. You can easily tell that they have a great affection for each other. I really hope this is explored more in future installments of the series.

There was an atmosphere of danger and intrigue throughout the entire story and it kept me turning the pages furiously. The urban setting is so much fun, but I loved the addition of the alternate dimension as well. I hope we get to see a lot more of that world next time around.

If you are looking for a supernatural story that isn't purely populated by vampires, than you'll want to give this one a try. It has Shaedes, Oracles, Gargoyles, and more!

Overall, I am hugely impressed by the world-building in this series. It's so exciting to see a new spin on urban fantasy that involves new breeds of supernatural creatures. I'm beyond excited for the next book in this series. It is quickly becoming one of my favorites! Can't wait to read more from Amanda Bonilla.
