Dark secrets are revealed., September 1, 2009
This review is from: Break of Dawn (Vampire Babylon) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Elite class vampires have been recalled to the `Underground'. Their secret society is known, and an attack is feared.
Limpet and Associates are on lockdown and going a bit stir crazy. Is this the end? Should she just leave? To convince her to stay Kiko brings her on a vision with a dagger. The vision is disturbing. Men worse than beasts and monsters.
Dawn Madison is more than just strong. Her mind has the ability to push things and protect her, and she is getting stronger. Jonah considers her dispensable. All this time he has been using her as bait to draw out the Master, or in his human looking form, Matt Lonigan, a man Dawn has feelings towards.
Frank Morgan is a vampire, and held hostage by his vampire and deceased wife Eva Claremont, and Dawn's mother in her attempt to reunite the family without Breisi. The only way to return him to his human state is to kill her mother. Can she do it? Which side is Eva on? More likely her own, but if the Master who is infatuated with both women, finds out, will he destroy her? Is anybody safe from his wrath and his continuing decline into insanity?
Jonah Limpet reveals another secret. Another entity, The Voice, lives in him. Costin, an evil vampire, is after his sovereign who turned them. If he, the Dragon, should rise again, it would be Armageddon. Can humanity be saved?
Break of Dawn by Chris Marie Green is a fast, easy read, with few details, however the characters will stay in your memory long after you've read the story. I would rank this story a four because it relies on events happening in the previous two books to propel the story forward.

An excellent urban fantasy with a very different love story!, April 4, 2011
"Break of Dawn" is a great end to Chris Marie Green's first story arc within the Vampire Babylon series. This reader would suggest first reading Night Rising and Midnight Reign in order to get a full understanding of the story line.
Dawn's life as a stuntwoman is but a memory. Her main focus now is to save her father and help "The Voice" conquer the master of LA's underground vampire nest. Oh, and another item high on Dawn's list of priorities is getting revenge on her "undead" mother! (Oh dear! Mama Drama!)
Dawn's on a rampage and the development of her newly acquired skills makes her one tough vampire hunter! But she's stubborn too. She's determined to figure out "The Voice". She won't give up until she is able to find out who and/or what he is. The unfortunate side to this determination? Dawn may find out that too much information just may force too many choices that she is not necessarily ready to make.
One vampire master is vanquished, many questions are answered and relationships further developed. But, as per the post script, the journey to Dawn and Costin's ultimate goal is still quote the adventure to be had!
An excellent urban fantasy with a very different love story. If you've ever wondered about "spirit" sex, Chris Marie Green does a great job of portraying the "out of body" sexual experience. As with the previous two installments, readers will be kept feverishly turning the pages!
