Synopsis
Step into the world of Shadow Falls, a camp that helps teens tap into their special…talents. Once you visit, you’ll never forget it—and you’ll never, ever be the same.
From the moment Kylie Galen arrived at Shadow Falls Camp, she’s had one burning question: What am I? Surrounded by vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters, fairies and witches, Kylie longs to figure out her own supernatural identity…and what her burgeoning powers mean. And now she’ll need them more than ever, because she’s being haunted by a new spirit who insists that someone Kylie knows—and loves—will die before the end of the summer. If only she only knew who she was supposed to save. And how…
But giving Kylie the most trouble is her aching heart. Gorgeous werewolf Lucas left camp with another girl, but he’s still visiting Kylie in her dreams. And Derek, a sexy half Fae who’s always been there for her when she needed him, is pushing to get more serious—and growing impatient, especially when Lucas returns. Kylie knows she needs to decide between the boys, and it’s tearing her up inside.
Yet romance will have to wait, because something from the dark side of the supernatural world is hiding in Shadow Falls. It’s about to threaten everything she holds dear…and bring her closer to her destiny.

Review
Awake at Dawn starts not long after Shadow Falls has
ended. Kylie is still at camp for the supernatural trying to figure out what
she really is. As her abilities start to develop she starts to question what
she might really be from vampire to werewolf even considering shapeshifter but
she learns that she’s not one of those. She’s something else but no one has a
clue what she could really be. The only way she’s going to find out is by
finding her father’s birth parents. The only problem he’s not a very helpful
ghost so she enlists the help of a Private investigator.
As if camp and dealing with being a supernatural isn't
enough to keep her busy. Kylie has two potential love interests. She can’t seem
to forget Lucas the werewolf who she has a past with that ran away from camp in
the first one and Derek the half fae who can sense her attraction. Throw in a
ghost who wants her help but isn’t giving Kylie enough information. Soon bodies
are turning up in town accidents to the humans but victims of a rogue vampires.
Parent’s day is just around the corner and Lucas has returned to camp. It’s enough
to keep her busy. Will Kylie figure out what she really is? Who the ghost is
trying to save? Will she choose Derek or Lucas?
I really like Kylie as a character even if she is caught
in a love triangle which I can’t stand. Typically love triangles are game over
from the start but I'm too enchanted by Kylie’s story. I think the characters
are great her friends Miranda and Della are each unique with their own stories
hidden within Kylies. I’m torn on which guy I like for Kylie but it’s hard not
to cheer for the werewolf Lucas. I’m curious to see how this will play out.
Awake at Dawn in the second in an exciting young adult
paranormal series. It’s a paranormal boarding school type series where the
supernatural learn to live together with the plan to live among the humans. The
author has created fantastic characters that are engaging, easy to connect with
and memorable from Kylie all the way down to her kitten socks. I’m really torn
on the guys but I think Miranda and Della have their own unique stories one of
which has a new series. The author has created an enchanting place for Shadow
Falls filled with mystery around every corner. The author has done a beautiful
job creating a captivating story her writing is smooth it was easy for me to
get lost in the book. I had a hard time putting it down for real life. I really
loved the whole camp feel it’s the kind of place I would want to go if I was in
Kylies shoes. I’m dying to know what Kylie really is and can't wait to find out
in the future books. All of which I have ready to go. One of those books teens
as well as adults will enjoy if they like the supernatural concept this series
is a must read.
4 out of 5 stars
