I just think it was a bit too much.
I'm sick of the ups and down of Michael and Eve's relationship. Can they be on and not on and off constantly. Make your bloody mind up.
I love Amelie and Oliver, they're a cute couple in the way they didn't want to be 'cute' and I appreciate they're not very nice to be honest but still favorite characters in this series by far.

Just like the summary said, Amelie is infected and while reading this book, it didn't feel like she was going to make it or not. I suggest defiantly read this book, as it is very important in the series and is a crucial step in the series long-running story. Like the last book, this book might make you cry because of the sad parts in it. The other books in this series were of course drama- filled but they always had some light in them, you know? But I find this book filled with only black, dark events and drama and stripped of happiness for the gang and especially Claire. I think the title, Black Dawn , is amazingly appropriate and well thought for this book because its exactly that, black.

First of all I would like to give you the honor of meeting my Myrnin. Yes, I know he doesn’t exactly look like Rachel Caine intended him to, but I don’t care. Deal with it. Now bathe in his awesomeness!

Mmmmmmmmm. He is perfect.
Anyways, if you managed to read this series completely, or close to it, you might as well call yourself a Morganville fan. If you are a Morganville fan, you surely know about the vampire heaven that is http://www.morganvillevampire.com/. I personally stalk the shit out of this website. The site has a whole bunch of goodies – short stories, news, MVTV!!! – good stuff. I want to show you guys some cool pictures for a bunch of characters.

Amelie and Oliver are PERFECT! Especially Oliver. Just look at that! Holy ballz!
Ada is meh, I can’t really form a proper image out of that sketch. And Myrnin… well, he is different. That is not how I imagine him. Well, my previous image is also not exactly how I imagine him either, but it’s pretty badass. I guess if you combine my image with the one Rachel Caine has on her website you’d get something better.
But anyways, apart for the unimportant stuff I’m dumping in this review, lemme talk a bit about the book and why I didn’t like it so much.
It was boring. Like really really boring. Boring start, then got a bit better, then boring again, then I lost interest and was counting down the pages till it finished. Black Dawn wasn’t as bad as [b:Bite Club|9376345|Bite Club (The Morganville Vampires, #10)|Rachel Caine|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1311280916s/9376345.jpg|13673332] (you can read my rant here), I mean the story was pretty good. But, I repeat, it bored me. I also noticed that the book was almost 400 pages long. Wow. When compared to the previous MV books, this is a lot. And, if you remember me saying this in my previousreviews rants, the thing I love about MV is how short and fast-paced the books are. That’s why I could handle reading so many of them without getting bored. Black Dawn proved my point. The book is stuffed with extra info and extra POVs from various characters, some of them were completely unexpected (Hannah wtf?!), which added to the length of it. They also add extra drama which also bores the crap out of me.
And it was sooo painfully slooooow to read!! So unlike the previous MV books. Me has a sad.
I guess what I need is a break from the series. I’ve been reading it for the past few months now, and I guess I need to miss them a bit more in order to enjoy reading them again. I’ll probably resume reading them closer to the MV15 release, which is at the beginning of November if I recall correctly. I do hope I won’t end up dropping the series. That would be a shame.

I'm very confused by this book. It was good to have even more perspectives in this book - including that of Hannah - which was interesting. However, I spent the majority of the book wondering what was going on. Too many things happened at once and when one thing was over, something else started too quickly. It was overwhelming and I lost track of what was happening in the book.
It follows the same sort of pattern as the previous books, with someone needing to be saved from the enemy and they go regardless of the safety. Which does make it interesting - but it would be good to have a different scenario in each book otherwise it becomes repetitive.
This book saw the rise of different characters but in the end, nothing really changes. It kept me entertained for a while but it wasn't my favourite, which is why I have given it 3 stars.

4.5 ⭐️ Do I think the solution to the draug was a little convenient and made the 'battle' very quick, yes. Am I also INCREDIBLY hyped about where the next book is going because it's gonna get political and make the vampires a threat again, also very much yes.
