Summary from Goodreads:
Step into Shadow Falls, a camp for teens with supernatural powers. Here friendship thrives, love takes you by surprise, and our hearts possess the greatest magic of all. Kylie Galen wants the truth so badly she can taste it. The truth about who her real family is, the truth about which boy she’s meant to be with—and the truth about what her emerging powers mean. But she’s about to discover that some secrets can change your life forever…and not always for the better. Just when she and Lucas are finally getting close, she learns that his pack has forbidden them from being together. Was it a mistake to pick him over Derek? And it’s not just romance troubling Kylie. An amnesia-stricken ghost is haunting her, delivering the frightful warning, someone lives and someone dies. As Kylie races to unravel the mystery and protect those she loves, she finally unlocks the truth about her supernatural identity, which is far different—and more astonishing—than she ever imagined.
Review:
I have completely fallen for the characters of Shadow Falls and can't get enough of them. Taken at Dusk picks up shortly after Awake at Dawn ends and once again finds Kylie in some tough situations. Kylie is still trying to figure out what she is and through one of the ghosts that haunts her, she finds some answers and more questions. I don't want to give away anything, but she does know more at the end of the book, though knowing also creates more questions. My heart did break a few times and I still can't decide who I like better for her, Derek or Lucas. Part of me wants her to be with Lucas because he's like her since they were kids, but I think Derek could truly like her for what she is. As with Born at Midnight and Awake at Dawn, Taken at Dusk is full of action and romance, and not just for Kylie. One of the things I have enjoyed about this series is how C.C. explores the emotions and lives of secondary characters. We continue to see how the friendship between Kylie, Della, and Miranda grows and of course there is the "tension" between Holiday and Burnett. For me, Taken at Dawn is a 5 star book and I can't wait to see what happens next in Whispers at Moonrise.
