I have been with this series from nearly the beginning. I got into it around book 4 and was hooked ever since. I love all of these characters so much that I can't bare to see it end. Ever. Even if it jumps the shark (some say it has but I don't think so) I want it to continue on. I've read it for so long these characters have become a part of me. That said, I'm going to try really hard not to give away any spoilers so forgive me if this is a little vague in parts.

Caine continues to spin an original tale of vampires when, let's face it, with all the vampire books around is a hard thing to accomplish but she manages to do that even twelve books in. Black Dawn is as nail biting as the last. You're taken on an emotional roller coaster that at times makes you close the book, put it down and whisper "No, nope, nu-uh..." over and over again until you reluctantly pick it up again and put your emotions through the ringer. Black Dawn has a lot of those moments.

Caine also keeps the readers on their toes because she changes up points of view in certain chapters. Like in Last Breath and Bite Club, we see the world of Morganville from the eyes of Shane, Eve, Oliver, Michael and even more, maybe unlikely characters. It's interesting to see how certain characters are without Claire's perspective clouding judgement. Some are better than perceived and some... much worse. I was especially dropping my jaw at Naomi's POV chapter in particular. Wow is all I will say. I hope we get a Myrnin chapter in a future book because I'd love to see how his mind really works and how he feels about Claire.

Black Dawn will keep your on your feet until the very last page. Heck, the last sentence, and it's going to leave you marking X's on calendars and counting down the days until Bitter Blood comes out.
