My Teasers:

"Then she heard it. Very slight, but still the definite rustle of some bushes—someone was behind her."

Pg. 34 Awake at Dawn by C. C. Hunter.

From Amazon

Product Description:

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.

My Take:

First off, I loved Born at Midnight and couldn't stop reading it until it was finished! That being said, I didn't expect any less from it's sequel and it wasn't disappointing at all. This one picks up relatively after it's predecessor and right into an intense questionable moment.....an answer to what Kylie is perhaps? That is the big question this story has and what kept me on the edge of my seat the entire read.

Della and Miranda are hands down two of my favorite side characters. They're interactions together are beyond spectacular enough that I'd want them to be my roommates. Plus one is a vampire and one is a witch, what's not to love? Besides the girls, there are the boys, and are they're ever! Awake at Dawn has a little more Derek this time around, and I loved seeing him in action. His gifts of feeling what anyone feels is heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking. His relationship with Kylie is a breath of fresh air, a kind that I wouldn't mind taking a breath of.

But that's not all, because Lucas is back! In a sticky situation Kylie finds herself being around him, and they're part together are so intense that I think I might prefer him to Derek. Or it could just be my love of werewolves maybe? But that's not all, the ending left me begging for more and I know a re-read is in my near future.

All in all, this is another exciting installment of an incredible paranormal series by C.C. Hunter and I definitely recommend this one for a read or several. Keep a look out for Taken at Dusk, I am really looking forward to the next installment,
