The Darkest Edge of Dawn by Kelly Gay

The Darkest Edge of Dawn (Charlie Madigan, Book 2)


From the Publisher:
It takes a strong woman to keep the peace in a city of endless night. . . .
 
Deep beneath Underground, a cunning bid for power and revenge has begun—one that threatens to make Atlanta the new battleground in the ultimate confrontation between good and evil. The powers of hellish Charbydon have the upper hand after plunging the city into primordial night. And under the cover of darkness, a serial killer targets the most powerful Elysians in the city, the angelic Adonai. For Detective Charlie Madigan and her siren partner Hank, tracking deadly predators is all in a day's work . . . but this case will test the limits of their strength and friendship as it draws them into a deadly world of power plays, ancient myths, explosive secrets, and a race against time that risks all that Charlie holds dear

My Take:  I have been trying some different genre types and when I saw that this book was up for grabs for review I thought I would give it a try.  I discovered that this is not my cup of tea.  But If you like this genre you will probably enjoy this book.  It had action and adventure, suspense and thrills.  This is the second in a series and I would definitely suggest reading the first one The Better Part of Darkness.  I think one thing that kept me from liking this book is that I didn't know what was going on and if  I would have read the first book I might not have been so lost. 

So if you like this genre then definitely give it a try.  If you are not sure then I would suggest starting with the first book. 

I received a copy of this book for review purposes.  I (obviously) was not required to give a positive review.

  1. I think being an archaeologist would be neat but I'd rather be a historian!
