Offering a fresh take on the teen vampire genre, these edgy books mix our contemporary world (YouTube, smartphones, etc.) with the traditional vampire figures of yesteryear.
In the first book, Die Now or Live Forever, we meet a group of friends who find a body in the woods – a discovery which triggers a terrifying decent in to vampirism.
From there you can read the other books in any order to follow the new young vampires as they struggle to cope with immortality and their craving for human blood.
That includes Juliette who’s modelling in Paris, rising music star Finn, would-be scientist Omar, siblings Ruby and Alistair (who find themselves at the centre of a gruesome mystery) – and Ava, who seems to be… immune?
Written and designed in a way that makes them easier to read, the Vampire Dawn books are truly great for weaker/reluctant readers who want strong, grown-up plots – but not a hard-work, full-length novel.
"A cleverly constructed series of short novels, ideal for the reluctant reader but no small fun for the enthusiastic one, either. There's romance and teen angst here, and the delights and agonies of friendship, but there's plenty of blood too - just as there should be."
