Waiting on Wednesday #15


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine where you can spotlight an upcoming release that you're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:


Darkness Before Dawn by J.A. London......
Released on:
May 29th.
Add it: On Goodreads.
This electrifying new trilogy blends the best of paranormal and dystopian storytelling in a world where the war is over. And the vampires won.

Humans huddle in their walled cities, supplying blood in exchange for safety. But not even that is guaranteed. Dawn has lost her entire family and now reluctantly serves as the delegate to Lord Valentine, the most powerful vampire for miles. It isn’t until she meets Victor, Valentine’s son, that she realizes not all vampires are monsters....

Darkness Before Dawn is a fresh new story with captivating characters, unexpected plot twists, a fascinating setting, and a compelling voice. Written under the name J. A. London by a talented mother-son team, the trilogy is perfect for fans of True Blood and the House of Night and Morganville Vampires series.

Thoughts:
Most people seem to think the vampire craze is over and while I admit I don't go ape over them as much as I used to, I do still enjoy an engaging vampire story! Darkness Before Dawn looks like it's going to be a fantastic read. Vampire and Dystopian? Hello awesome! Written by a mother and son duo, I cannot wait to read this one.

Oh and doesn't the cover remind you of a Fallen by Lauren Kate book? All the covers in that series have a similar look and I think this could be easily mistaken as a Fallen book. Good thing I love the Fallen covers; this is beautiful!


What are you waiting on this week?


Let me know!

  3. Touche! It doesn't really matter the supernatural creature for me, it's the plot and characters that make a book. And if an author can create an interesting spin in vampires, I am so there :D And yes! The cover reminds of the Fallen covers too! <3
