Blood-Kissed Sky: A Darkness Before Dawn Novel
This continuation of the Darkness before Dawn series finds the heroine, Dawn, confronting a new, terrifying threat: Day Walkers, a type of vampire that can move freely in the daylight as they prey upon their victims. While Day Walker attacks are damaging the fragile pact made between humans and vampires, Dawn must travel to the West Coast to investigate another threat: the Thirst, which afflicts blood-starved vampires, causing them to become rabid killing machines. In the middle of this blood-driven chaos, Dawn tries to navigate her complicated feelings for Victor, the new vampire Lord Valentine. Fans of Twilight will enjoy this read-alike.
