She thought they’d never find her. She was wrong.

Kat and Maksim have been hiding in a sleepy Mediterranean town. It’s paradise, heaven on earth… So then why is Maksim eager to send Kat home? And why has he been acting strange since making contact with a certain hacker?

Kat is determined to find out, but when a misstep in her “investigation” infuriates the hacker and her crew, the fallout puts Kat and Maksim on a collision course with the crime syndicate that’s been hunting them down. With nowhere else to turn, they seek asylum in Paris with an old friend of Maksim’s, hoping for a place to lie low. Things seem calm, hopeful… until a heartwrenching betrayal by Maksim comes to light.

As the evidence piles up, Kat is forced to rely on the kindness of his old friend, a Frenchman who’s there to help pick up the pieces of her broken heart. But not everything is what it seems in the City of Light, and Maksim isn’t the only one keeping secrets. Kat’s intuition, her instinct, even her vivid, foreboding dreams are no match for this game of cat and mouse.

The chess pieces are in place. The crime syndicate is closing in. Will Kat wake up to the truth before it’s too late?

Dawn to Dusk is the thrilling continuation of The Awaken Saga, a YA crossover series that begins with a cryptic scavenger hunt and transitions into an action-packed thriller. Perfect for fans of The Bourne Identity, Angels & Demons, and Holly Jackson novels like The Reappearance of Rachel Price and Five Survive.

Review for Dawn to Dusk

A great follow up to Awaken the Dawn! This young adult thriller is full of secrets, corruption, criminals, betrayal, and twists galore. Vladimir will stop at nothing to find Maksim and Kat, they flee to Paris to hide until they figure out their next move. That is until friends plant suspicion and you’re left wondering if anything is as it seems. Enjoy this ride but be sure to strap yourself in, it’s a wild one. I only have one question… when is the next book coming out?
