    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!"
    --Vampirebooksite.com (re Turned)

    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!

      A wannabe copy of Twilight that just barely hits the mark and then falls extremely below it in the middle until it ultimately flatlined at the end. The FMC is more in love with her sister than Elijah. The reader knows close to nothing about the love interest and there is no development of a relationship at all. It goes from absolute strangers to------> mate. And thats a huge hell no for me. In addition, the FMC turns into a bit of a monster toward everyone she loves and cares about, there's way more emphasis on her home life than any explanation as to how Elijah even fell in love with her. As the reader we see the male lead twice and then hardly ever afterwards and then a huge boatload of him at the end. Mix in a last minute prophecy and weird human/vampire hybrid magic, and nonsensical location jumps and you have this book.

      I've read fanfics more compelling and better thought out.
