About this audiobook

"A book to rival TWILIGHT and VAMPIRE DIARIES, and one that will have you wanting to keep reading until the very last page! If you are into adventure, love and vampires this book is the one for you!"

In BEFORE DAWN (Book #1 of Vampire, Fallen), Kate, 17, hates her life. An outcast in her own family, who doesn’t understand her, she is hated by her more popular and beautiful sister, and despised by her controlling mother, who favors her sister over her. Kate’s only solace is her friends and her smarts. But even with that, her life seems destined for a dead-end—especially when her mother announces she will have to stay back from college to pay for her sister’s tuition.

But one day, all that changes. On her 17th birthday, one of the popular boys falls for her. At the same time, a mysterious new boy, Elijah, arrives at her school, and their connection is undeniable. All seems to be turning her way—when a terrible accident turns her life upside down.

Kate is supposed to die. But on the verge of death, something happens, something which keeps her alive, which transforms her into something she was never meant to be. In the twilight between life and death, Kate becomes something no one has ever been before.

The debut of a spectacular new series rife with love, loss, heartbreak and redemption, BEFORE DAWN offers a fresh take on the vampire genre. With its heart-pounding suspense and characters you will fall in love with, it will keep you reading late into the night and make you fall in love with fantasy all over again.

Also available is Morgan Rice’s 12 book series THE VAMPIRE JOURNALS, which begins with TURNED (Book #1), a #1 bestseller with over 900 five star reviews on Amazon—and a FREE download!

"Refreshing and unique, has the classic elements found in many Young Adult paranormal stories….Easy to read but extremely fast-paced....Recommended for anyone who likes to read soft paranormal romances. Rated PG."

Ratings and reviews

I'm not exactly in the target group of this book, but here's some of my thoughts: the plot feels awfully rushed and the character build is almost nonexistent, leaving them rather "flat" and one dimensional. Also the amount of stereotypes gives the feeling of sloppy and lazy writing. In fact, the entire book feels like the writer may have had a vague idea of the plot and characters but either not enough time or passion to make it into a good read.

I don't recommend this book at all. very disappointed. Seems the Author ran out of Imagination and forgot how to use the English language.

should continue with the story it just drops off and no book 2 would give it full stats if there is a second book
