OH my goodness I LOVE this cover<333 I can't wait for this book! Come quickly!!! <3
______________
Fantastic sequel! I loved every part it. I loved discovering what Kylie was discovering, feeling what Kylie felt, and watching her grow. I have to admit, boy wise, I was Team Lucas after Born At Midnight. But, now, after Awake At Dawn, I am kind of split. Derek is just the all around great guy, with sexy green eyes and then there's also Lucas who you can't help but loving. ARRRGGG I'm not sure who I want her with. But I do know, I cannot wait for the next one... I'm dying to know what happens next!

so Ipout this book down to read other books because I couldn't get into it. It was only the beginning half of the book that didn't do it for me. When there was more action in the second half it pulled me in more. If there would've been more action in the beginning I think I would've like it more. I don't think I will read the third book in this series but you never know, I might just read it to find out what happens

Honestly this book was just way too cringey and dated itself way more than it had to with its awkward language choices.
More importantly, absolutely NOTHING happened in this book. Literally nothing. It was 400 pages of the main character moaning and whining about absolutely nothing. And the fact that the mystery about ~what she is~ is being dragged into book 3 of a 5 book series is absurdly unnecessary.
However, it has that late 200s-early 2010s charm/nostalgia to it that makes me want to keep going just for old time’s sake/fluff/guilty pleasure.

Das Buch ist wieder sehr auf Teenie-Herzschmerz ausgelegt. Für meinen Geschmack war es zu viel Teenie-Drama und zu wenig Fantasy. Und trotzdem wollte ich unbedingt mehr über Kylies Kräfte erfahren und herausfinden, was sie denn nun ist. Die Reihe schafft es durchaus mich zu unterhalten, aber ich bin schlicht und ergreifend 10 Jahre zu alt, um wirklich begeistert davon zu sein.

Sigh, now we know...give or take 35% of what Kylie is. On the bright side I may have chosen a ship! But I'm still considering myself undecided since I keep jumping from Derek and Lucas every time I turn the freaking page. Not only am I back and forth with the love triangle, but I am incredibly confused about Kylie. Awake at Dawn showcased more of Kylie's gifts and its pretty fun watching them appear but frustrating since we can't pinpoint what she is. Honestly, me thinks she's a hybrid. If I found a ghost covered in blood just chilling in the corner of my room at 5 in morning, I would be screaming bloody murder. That's why I am so so proud of the character growth in Kylie, she not only accepted her gift but isn't afraid to interact with these spirits. Although, I was a little irritated with Kylie's reaction to Holiday's suspicions. It usual ends with her saying'OMG NOT THAT PLEASE'. Really Kylie, really. Now with Awake and Dawn complete, I have to wait for the rest of the series to arrive at my doorstep. HURRY UP BARNES AND NOBLE SHIPMENT.

Kylie starts getting visited by a ghost that tells her she must save someone she knows or she will be killed. She has no idea who it is, but she is desperate to find out. Kylie is still struggling to find out what she is.
At Shadow Falls, the counselors have been getting the campers to participate in supernatural ceremonies that will help get them to understand one another. During a vampire ceremony, Kylie has to drink blood from a cup and realizes that she likes the taste of it. This freaks her out, and she makes a mad dash to the woods.
She feels like she isn’t alone, and a wolf starts to approach her. However, she doesn’t think it’s going to harm her. It actually submits to her. At first, she thinks maybe it was just the wolf freaking her out until she feels a mist that seems to contain a dark presence.
From then on, people are encouraged to be careful and not to get themselves into situations that would make them vulnerable. Even though Kylie wants to know what she is, Derek tells her it doesn’t matter to him. She starts to show signs that she might be a werewolf. Derek said he didn’t care what she is, but if she’s a werewolf, she would be closer to Lucas, a guy that left camp with another girl. Will Kylie be able to save the girl the ghost is talking about? Can Kylie convince Derek she wants to be with him, and can she even convince herself?
I absolutely love this series. When I start these books, I feel like I can knock out a lot of pages in no time at all. This series is so engrossing that I never what this series to end. I love Derek, but he broke my heart (along with Kylie’s). I do like Lucas, but I’ve always liked Derek more. Anybody that loves paranormal romance books should read this. It has a little bit of everything: vampires, werewolves, rogues, fairies, and more!
I don’t see how Kylie can stand her friends Miranda and Della. They can get into some pretty stupid arguments and pretty often. It didn’t seem like they got into as many as they did in the first book.
I loved seeing some of Kylie's powers pop up, and I can’t wait to find out what Kylie is!
