Darkness Before Dawn
Release date: May 29th, 2012
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….
This sounds really different. Dystopian and vampires!? Count me in!

This is on my to-read list already. I’m very excited for it! Not a huge fan of the cover–it seems too similar to so many others I’ve seen in the past year–but the premise certainly sounds promising so I can’t wait to pick it up come release. 🙂
Hope you’re having a fantastic week!

Great pick! I agree, it wasn’t the vampire part that won me over, it’s the fact that it’s about vampires in a dystopian setting! Plus, that cover is gorgeous, rather reminds me of Fallen though 🙂
