Only sunlight can save us.
We built the wall to keep them out, to keep us safe. But it also makes us prisoners, trapped in what's left of our ravaged city, fearing nightfall.
After the death of my parents, it's up to me—as the newest delegate for humanity—to bargain with our vampire overlord. I thought I was ready. I thought I knew everything there was to know about the monsters. Then again, nothing could have prepared me for Lord Valentine . . . or his son. Maybe not all vampires are killers. Maybe it's safe to let one in.
Only one thing is certain: Even the wall is not enough. A war is coming and we cannot hide forever.

And they're back! Who? Vampires of course!! I haven't read a series about vampires since Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy and I'm glad I've waited. Darkness Before Dawn broke my resistance of Vampire novels.
Let me start off by saying that Darkness Before Dawn is nothing like Twilight..And thank God for that! This novel takes place in a world where the humans have lost a war with the vampires and now the Vampires are the ones that call the shots. Pretty neat right? We have Dawn, our heroine, who is appointed delegate for the city of Denver and is to meet with the strongest vampire of all 14 Old Families: Lord Valentine.
If Lord Valentine existed I would be hiding under a rock! He is truly what I imagine a vampire to be: scary, feral, and downright mean! At times I felt bad for Dawn because she had to deal with Lord Valentine while at the same time figure out what is going on with the vampires in the city. She had to much weight on her shoulders but she embraced it with strength and dignity.
Now Victor...where can I get me one of those? He is prince charming in the night when he shows up at the right time to save Dawn and he only gets better from there. Victor is mysterious and secretive but that's what attracts me to him, it doesn't hurt that he's smokin' hot!!
There's plenty of action and romance and not to mention a twist I didn't see coming!! If you loved Vampire Academy you will definitely love Darkness Before Dawn! J.A London, I thank you for reminding me why I love vampire novels! Great start to a series!!
