Another fantastic book by Jocelyn Drake. You never fail to please. Your "Dark Days" novels are superb and never fail to keep my undivided attention.
In Wait for Dusk, Mira is faced with the task of eradicating every Naturi from Budapest. However, this task is not nearly as easy to accomplish with the hit on her head. Someone is determined to kill her along with her companions, and it's everything she can do to keep them safe.
Meanwhile, there's trouble brewing between Mira and Danaus when a human woman comes to Danaus begging for her life and freedom of the nightwalker Veyron. Mira refuses to aid her, but Danaus is determined to be her savior. Will a human woman be the permanent rift between them both?
I liked seeing new alliances form and Mira's growth I her powers. Though I'd prefer it if she weren't being forced by her Devil-of-a-Father to utilize said powers like she does.
Mira has grown so much as a person and guardian to those who she has sworn to protect. And at times, even to those not under her protection. I cat wait to see how relationships progress and to witness the final battle between the Naturi and Nightwalkers/every other supernatural creature that doesn't want to die by Naturi hands.

Loved it loved it loved it. Mira and Danaus FINALLY hook up. Danaus admits his difficulty in loving and being with Mia, but that he is willing to try and work things out with her.
We learn a LOT more about Mia's background and who her father is. I am very interested to see how the absent father plot works out.
I liked Mira much better in this one than the last. She overcame her addiction to warlock blood and is more like her old self again.
I kinda missed Danaus' point of view, mostly because all of the books except for the last one have been from Mia. it was a nice change. Perhaps next time it will switch narration?

Previously Published on my blog: Welcome to Larissa's Bookish Life
Rating: 4 and a Half Stars!
*Contains spoiler if you haven’t read the previous books in the series.
After the killer cliffhanger that Jocelynn Drake left us with in Pray For Dawn, I was dying to get my hands on Wait For Dusk and I was NOT disappointed with it!
Wait For Dusk starts off right when Pray For Dawn ended and we get to find out what the heck happened to Mira pretty quickly and it is a doozy. We get to meet Mira’s real father and he has plans for her, plans that include using Danaus and go against everything our dear Mira believes in.
From them on we embark on a non-stop roller coaster that left me stunned and really excited to find out where the series is going next. Mira finally becomes an official member of the Vampire council and has to deal with Naturi attacks in Europe and has Danaus and Mira falling for a trap and creating Mayhem in Egypt.
Danaus and Mira’s relationship definitely evolves in this book, as you can see by the cover, but it is much more complicated. The real appeal of Wait For Dusk for me was the emotional journey that Mira and Danaus go through. They are the ultimate Romeo and Juliet, but I can’t help to hope that they will make it work. I love seeing them together and you can just tell that they do care a lot about each other.
Another amazing installment in this wonderful series. Jocelynn Drake has done it again and has given us an exceptional book. I cannot wait for the next one in the series! Is is 2011 already?

This is more like 4.5 for me.
Wait for Dusk picks up right after [b:Pray for Dawn|6973574|Pray for Dawn (Dark Days, #4)|Jocelynn Drake|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1263623734s/6973574.jpg|7213630]. At the very end of Pray for Dawn, Mira was taken by some unknown entity. Well at the opening of Wait for Dusk we discover that it was Mira's father that took her. More appropriately would be to call him her sire as he wasn't the actual person to raise Mira just impregnate her mother. He calls himself "Nick" which basically points us directly to Satan as being Mira's biological father. He wants her to start living up to her full potential otherwise he will deem her a waste and use her in order to conceive a more willing progeny. When he says live up to her potential he means the fact that Mira (who to this point is able to be used by both Jabari and Danaus) can turn that power around and use the other two instead. Nick wants Mira to hone this skill. He leaves at that with the threat that he's keeping an eye on her.
Mira in turn is summoned to Venice to appear before the coven and be acknowledged in her new role as Elder. First she needs to take care of the backlash of the bori attack. Mainly, Tristan. Surprisingly Tristan has survived so Mira secures his continued existence and leaves for Italy.
Upon arrival in Italy it is decided (in what Mira obviously recognizes as a trap) that Mira will head to Budapest in order to dispatch some naturi that have taken residence there. So here begins the major plot of Wait for Dusk.
Obviously there was a lot to tie up before we could start the main plot of this book, but nothing is ever forgotten in this world and previous actions can always come back into play. I really liked the mystery behind Wait for Dusk. Mira knew from the beginning that she was being set up, and I liked how Jocelynn Drake weaves us around Budapest from one twist to another until Mira has it all pieced together.
I liked the fluidity with how Mira and Danaus decided on their relationship. It was basically just a next step in something that had been building throughout the series thus far, but I liked that they still had reservations being that they come from two different sides. I liked the moments where we got to see Mira's vulnerability with this new relationship and learned more about her past in consequence. We learn that Mira has the ability to form strong attachments in romantic relationships which almost contrasts with her tough, uncaring exterior that she likes to exude to everyone else.
However, Jocelynn Drake started something when she switched to Danaus's point of view for Pray for Dawn, and here we've switched back to being only Mira's point of view. I would have liked the book to switch back between the two just in certain moments. I did like have Mira as the narrator again and between the two I like Mira's voice better, but I figure that since Drake already started this she could have kept up with a few scenes of Danaus's POV just to really get in his mind to figure out what he's thinking.
There is only one book left in the series [b:Burn the Night|8500408|Burn the Night (Dark Days, #6)|Jocelynn Drake|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1293816506s/8500408.jpg|13366290]. Mira is put through so much again and again and this last book leaves a lot up in the air. There's the naturi threat looming on the horizon, there's Nick, and from the beginning there have always been other vampires (namely Jabari) that want Mira dead. I just want her to finally find some peace and quiet. I guess we'll see what's in store. Until Then!
