When Day Breaks

by Jalen Noel

Isobelle Axford is dead.

There is no denying that simple fact. While Logan, Vincent, and Creed battle with their current reality, a new threat awakens in hunters have come to town. Not only does the core group have to lie low to evade Vivienne and her cronies, but they have to face massive changes while keeping what they are from the hunters.

Everything is different.

Emotions run rampant, and something seems to go wrong at every turn. Will the group survive the many wrenches thrown in their path, or will they perish under the pressure of everything that threatens them?

The second installment of the Crimson Sun series brings with it exciting new enemies, more violent twists, and relationships that will be tested in all sorts of ways. Stakes are higher, more blood is spilled, and things are getting even sexier.

I thought I loved the first one the most…..THEN I READ THE FRICKEN SECOND ONE!!!!!! MY FAVORITE!! I love my Baby daddy Creed and my Logi bear🥹🥹 don’t get me wrong I also love my well spoken manz Vince. They could all get it any day. Isobelle I know you’re not real, and neither are the men, but they’re mineeeeee.
If I could pick any book for the MMCs to hop out of the book IT WOULD BE THIS ONE

Oh my god. I loved the first book and i fell in love with book 2 as well. How can you both love and hate a character but creed.. well he does that but by the end i was loving him more than hating him. The ending though. Heart is broken and something amazing better happen in book 3 otherwise I’m not sure i can cope
Love love love though. Whens book 3 coming out?

I ATE THIS BOOK UPPPP. I’ve been waiting for my man Vincent to come around and HE SURE DID. I’m like Isobelle I hate that I love Creed maybe bc he calls her my name “Mi Reina” tee hee, but that was so disrespectful to end the book that way 😭 crying at 5am geez.

bad ending

I absolutely hate the ending of this. The conflict was mostly unnecessary, when we are still waiting to resolve the conflict from the first novel. This is tragic.

The cliffhanger this left off at is RUDE. Because now I immediately need the 3rd book!!?

This is like a modern day, spicier twilight! Super quick & easy read!
