I liked the first book in this series and Red Dawn does not disappoint either. Katia is a "take no prisoners" take charge kind of girl and I like that about her. She has fought hard to survive in the world of pure bloods and is loyal to a fault with those she loves. Life at Crossroads is different this year with lots of new changes yet some things stay the same like her feelings towards Jade and Blaine. To save the life of a friend, Katia and Nik sneak out of school and take off to find the cure that has been stolen from the lab. This quest as it were leads then to travel into some shady parts of New Orleans with Keegan as their guide hoping to find the thief and restore the the cure to save Shaye from dying. I must admit that you have to put your beliefs on hold here as it seems quite unrealistic that two teenagers albeit vampire ones could pull this off when no other adults or vampires with all their resources on the council could ascertain who the real thief was and why the cure was stolen in the first place. Apart from that this story was fast paced and action packed with a touch of PG romance between Nik and Katia finally. More questions than answers so it seems and it sets us up nicely for the next book to be one humdinger of a story. Escapism at its best, I devoured this book quickly and will be waiting for the next.
