This series is truly one of my favorites. I was so very excited to see Knaak had published another book.
“There were things in this world beyond man’s ability to comprehend. Things that existed in dusty shadowy corners of myth and folklore.”
In The Dark Dawn, Knaak is taking us back to the beginning with Jonas Dietrich. Jonas is promoted to lead detective on a groundbreaking case. Someone is slaughtering women. What’s worse is that the bodies are completely drained of blood. Whenever Dietrich and his team make headway, there’s another setback, and they can’t keep up. This case just might destroy Dietrich’s new position as a detective.
Dietrich is making many mistakes in this one because he’s keeping information to himself. He’s a far cry from the Jonas we know and love in the previous books. But he’s still good at his job, even as a rookie detective. Gah, I’ve loved this series from book 1. This book has a different feel than the others, but as a prequel, it makes sense and works to lay the groundwork for what’s to come. This is an utterly satisfying read, and I cannot wait to see what comes next.
