See full review for Black Dawn at: http://toomanybooksnotenoughshelves.w... 
 At the end of the last book, Claire and her friends were dealing with the affects of what the master draug - a water based vampire race that the other vamps are afraid of - had done their fellow vampire friends including the Founder Amelie. She was bitten by Magnus and is slowly becoming a draug. The race is on to kill Magnus before it is too late. 
 Just in case that wasn't enough, Black Dawn also deals with Eve and Michael's toxic relationship and how they're dealing with the fallout from his attack on her at the end of the last book. They both know that he didn't mean it, because he had been fed on by draug for days, but they both realize what he's capable of now. You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me.
