Our
Review [by Michelle L. Olson – LITERAL ADDICTION’s Pack Alpha]:
I love the Morganville Vampires series and
have been an avid follower since book #1.
While I didn’t think that anything could surpass the incredibleness that
was Book #11, Last Breath, I stand corrected after the completion of Black
Dawn.
If I said that Last Breath was a home run,
then Black Dawn was a grand slam!
Like all Morganville books, there was tons of
action, danger lurking around every corner, sweet romance, problems to be
solved, friendships solidified, alliances forged, enemies made and mysteries
galore, all packed into a fabulously eerie and quirky package.
Like Last Breath, Black Dawn gives us
insight into other characters by switching between points of view. It was seamlessly written and a wonderful
gift for the reader to get inside these other characters’ heads.
Last Breath was definitely darker than the
other Morganville books. They’ve been
getting increasingly darker installment after installment (to my utter
delight), but there were times during Black Dawn that you could actually feel
the hopelessness, and those times just lent more credibility to the glimpses of
hope that were uncovered like rays of sunshine.
While Morganville is known for its danger,
and we fans have come to expect and love the town and its residents for it, the
Morganville in Black Dawn is literally flooded with death, destruction and
despair. All that deranged action is
thrown at you in a non-stop thrill ride that grabs you from the very beginning
and doesn’t’ really ever let go, because even after completion of the last
page, you want to scream, “Well, what now??”.
The character development in Black Dawn was
intense, the storyline intriguing and demanding nothing short of utter
investment, and the world, in true Rachel Caine fashion, beautifully
fashioned.
LITERAL ADDICTION gives Black Dawn a
thoroughly deserved 5 Skulls, and would recommend it to EVERYONE! Morganville may be classified as YA, but we
like to call it YA for the not-so-young-adult, and this installment proved that
Rachel can capture both sides of the audience with ease.
I am so happy that there will be more
Morganville to come. I absolutely adore
this series.
