Product Description
Product Description
When vampire Valeria Trumaine comes home one morning to find her father waiting for her, she knows she's about to get trouble in spades. But she never imagined it would come in the form of her ex-fiancé. Now she must confront old demons and face new possibilities as she struggles to bring the rouge vampire to justice. After she left him, Valeria avoided Tristan like the plague, but now that he's gone rogue, she's going to have to utilize every thing she's learned as a sentinel to find him. Finding Tristan proves to be more dangerous than anyone realized. He's changed in ways that go against nature, and has become more powerful than anyone ever imagined. Refusing to let her face the abomination that Tristan has become alone, Val's best friend and powerful Sidhe princess, Irulan joins the hunt. Valeria will find that Irulan's motives for keeping her safe aren't what she thinks. And soon she's faced with an undeniable attraction that makes her question everything she knew about herself. Can she accomplish her task and prevent more innocent lives from being destroyed? Can she do it and not loose herself to his madness? In the middle of all the madness, can she embrace the unexpected love that fate has thrown her way?

Perfect for what it is
9 May 2011
Format:Paperback
I actually stumbled across this story on Wattpad one or two years ago, and ever since I've followed Massey's work. In the world of young adult/vampire/romance etc... it seems everyone and their mom has a book out. Unfortunately, most are poorly written, boring and just like every other book of the same genre out there.
Not so with "Crimson Dawn." While it's a quick read, it also has dynamic characters, a well structured plot and a slightly different take on a genre that desperately needs fresh air. Massey is a strong writer with the ability to really paint a vivid picture of even the "paranormal" aspects of the story. I also appreciate the attention to character development. It seems a lot of these books, even one's with main characters that I actually like, have stagnant characters who are exactly the same at the end of the book as they were in the beginning (even after major traumas). In main character Valeria, Massey created someone who is just badass enough to be exciting, vulnerable enough to be relate-able, and yet grows in a way that justifies the reader's emotional investment into her character.
While not exactly "Interview with a Vampire," "Crimson Dawn" is certainly head and shoulders above many of its contemporaries. I would highly recommend it to fans of the genre seeking an engrossing summer read. A very promising start to Massey's career.

Pleasant Surprise
8 May 2011
Format:Paperback
I, admittedly, am not a fan of science fiction--of any variety (vampires, ghouls, gremlins, mythical creatures, biologically engineering gone awry, etc.): the genre had never really appealed to me. But, my sister, who is an avid reader of all things sci-fi, practically forced me to read this book, Crimson Dawn, assuring me I would not regret the decision--and she was surprisingly right. The descriptive language, the way the author (new-comer, Ronnie Massey) was able to fully exploit the characters (their strengths, as well as weaknesses) and the classical elements endemic of the genre were all in place. It was a great read. I really enjoyed Massey's exploration of the human side of her non-human characters, especially her protagonist Valeria. I would recommend this book to readers of all genres.

Wonderful addition to vampire fiction
7 May 2011
Format:Paperback
I had the opportunity to beta-read this novel before it was released. When I was first asked to read it I was skeptical because I've read so many vampire stories lately that I was getting a little sick of blood suckers. I am so glad that I did because Crimson Dawn ejects some much needed 'new blood' into the genre.
The main character Valeria is a pureblood vampire who's doing penance for events in her past by working as a Sentinel, which is more or less a cop for the supernatural community. Valeria is a strong protagonist but she has a vulnerability about her that really got my attention.
I loved the character Irulan, who is Valeria's roommate and a faerie princess. She's very protective of Valeria and at first you believe that it's due to the fact that she's been in Valeria's life since she was a child. But as the novel progresses you see that there is a lot more to Irulan than meets the eye.
At the center of the story is Valeria's struggle to find and apprehend her ex-fiance Tristan, who has gone off of the deep end and started killing people. Her task isn't a easy one and for awhile it was touch and go.
This story had it all in my opinion; action, romance, and above all a very good storyline. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I would recommend this book to anyone in a heartbeat.
