There's nowhere left to hide.

I thought vampires were our enemies - they controlled our lives, isolated our cities, and demanded our blood - until I met Victor. With Victor taking over as the new Lord Valentine, things were supposed to get better. Instead, they're worse than ever.

Day Walkers, a new breed of vampires who can walk in the sun, are terrorizing the city. Blood supplies are low, and if Victor's vampires don't get enough, they will become infected with the Thirst - a disease that will turn them into mindless killers.

To stop it, I must journey across the desolate wasteland to the very place where the sickness began. I can only hope that the answers that await me are enough to save us all... before it's too late.

“I'm leaving the door partly open," he says as he follows Tegan. "You scream if you need me."

Once he is outside, Richard says, "He does realize that if he hears your scream, it's already too late.”

Blood-Kissed Sky is the second book in the Darkness Before Dawn trilogy by J.A. London. I really like this world’s take on vampires. It’s different from most books. There was a lot going on this time around. We get answers to lingering questions from book one, and we get more information and happenings, leading to more questions along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it kept my attention the whole way so through. This was an excellent second book.
