bookshelves: american-garbage, enjoyable, good-reading, horror, paranormal, vampires
Read from March 01 to June 01, 2012

Is dissapointing to see many readers judging the books because its cover is similar to the Fallen series.
I really hope this book is better than Fallen series (I'm not a fan of Lauren Kate, I was very frustrated to have spent my money in a book so bad written!). I do not expect so much from this one, even if is by another writer (Actually, I never expect anything from american literature...), but I hope it changes my POV.

B. I completely agree with you..., so what if the cover looks like Fallen?. Like there are few books with women dressed in black and covered faces around. It doesn't mean anything.


Hopelessromantic500 i didn't judge it because of it's cover, i fave it 2 thumbs down because it SUCKED! i mean, romantic novel does NOT = oh, look, i might never see him a gain, so i'm just gonna go let him kill him self!!!!!!


Hopelessromantic500 ops! i thought this was the sequl to Fallen. ugh! stupid cover looks the same, I'M CONFUSED!

Katrina Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Haha. Just wanted to quote that. Anyway, I'm quite sick of Lauren Kate and Luce already. Daniel's the only reason I keep reading. -___-


Sanette I just finished and it is far better than the fallen series so as far as I'm concerned this cover is J.A. London's for they are far better writers. I think you will like the book, and while it may sound similar to Kagawa's they were writing it at the same time so I doubt they were trying to copy her and other than some of the basic similarities, it is very different from Immortal Rules.

Kayla Gough Daang you are opinionated. I agree with the waste of $ the fallen series is but American garbage? Woow. I mean you have a right to ur own opinions and the ability to express them but frick! way to insult an entire nation!


Nikki (Fiction Freak) You didn't even read it yet (judging by your "review" so you have 0 right to rate it two stars!

Actually I have but I haven't got time enough to write a review (I'm a teacher). Anyway, I haven't changed my mind, it was just 2 stars for me.

Don't worry! :-)
I should have made a note of the date I finished reading it to prevent any misunderstanding.
(But really, I have very good reason for the low score I gave to it).

REally? If you ever write a review I'm definitely going to read it! I've only seen stellar reviews so far, so I'm interested in what could bring it to two stars! :D


Jello Dela cruz Darkness before Dawn is far way better than Fallen series!


Nikki (Fiction Freak) Ok. I read it- 3 stars. I just hated the characters and the love triangle. >_<


Jenny Ann Darkness before Dawn is a really good book and I agree that all these people talking about Fallen and Darkness before Dawn having similar covers is ridiculous. I don't get when a book became about the cover instead if the pages in between. But I do disagree on one thing, though Darkness before Dawn is better I think the Fallen series are good books as well.
