A review by vikingwolf
Black Dawn by Rachel Caine
3.0
Michael, Eve, Claire and Shane have joined some surviving residents and vampires at Amelie's residence in Founder's Square while others hide in their homes to escape the draug. With Amelie seriously ill, a mission to find Theo in town is top of the list, as is turning several houses around town into weapons stores in case they have to fight on the move. Everyone must work together to defeat their common enemy but can they overcome the divisions between themselves?
Eve is realising the danger of being involved with a vampire and is flinching every time Michael comes near her. Michael is guilt ridden over what he did to her but is it going to be too late for them to repair their relationship? Eve is also furious to learn that Naomi is biting Jason and that he wants to be a vampire, so she cuts a deal with the vampire to provide her with information, wondering if she just made a deal with the devil. Naomi is determined to rule instead of Oliver when Amelie dies and needs to know why Magnus wants Claire.
Myrnin has been spending every moment in his new lab, trying to find something that will destroy the draug but without success. Instead, he thinks that disabling the water treatment plant will stop the draug using the sewers to move around, buying them some time. But who is going to join him on the mad trip to the plant, and who will get out alive? A rescue mission is planned to rescue their fallen colleague and they are shocked when Monica insists on joining Richard and Hannah in helping them, feeling that she needs to make up for something in her past.
Shane comes up with an idea on how they might be able to defeat the draug which means another dangerous mission in town. Claire is very worried about his health, especially his current mental condition as he struggles to seperate reality from dreams. The anti vampire resistance are about to make themselves known to the draug and Morganville is about to lose one of it's resistance members to the enemy...
There is plenty of action in this book as they try to battle the draug and save their town. I liked the two raids on the water treatment plant and the one on the maintenance shed. I liked that it was Shane who came up with the idea that just might save the town. I could also hit Eve for her stupidity over the Jason plot and hit Claire for blaming Myrnin for everything that goes wrong. Give a vampire a break, y'know??!!
3.5 stars is more accurate for this book.
