Synopsis (Goodreads):
Since the accident, Jade's world has become so loud.Thoughts on Edge of Dawn: Okay. I really like this series and I didn't want it to end. So I put off reading this book for a while because if I don't read it, it's not over, RIGHT? Yeah. This book was good. Like, really good. It tied up some of those loose ends that needed to be tied up and it set the stage for what I hope is the next series. (I mean, I REALLY hope, because [again] I don't want this to be the last I read of these characters.)
Something's wrong. The voices of hundreds of souls echo loudly inside her head.
The doctors, the administrators, and even those closest to her are convinced she has a condition. They say she needs to be under the care of the authorities.
Nobody listens to her. Nobody believes her.
She has no choice but to run.
Her once-predictable life is in tatters. All she knows is chaos and fear. They'll catch her soon. She has nowhere to go.
Until she encounters a stranger in her dreams.
Not just any stranger, but an alien. A Kordolian. Silver-and-dark. Honed like a weapon. So obviously dangerous. One of the very beings that threatens the future of the entire human species.
Or so she's been told.
But what if salvation comes in the most unexpected form?
So. The romance part of this book focuses on Dragek and Jade. He's the Silent One who was freed from his mistress and is sort of quietly seething that he has replaced one master (her) with another (Tarak). Only Tarak isn't looking for blind obedience. He and Ash want to give Dragek a chance to live the way he maybe could have lived if he hadn't been tapped as a Silent One as a child. Tarak being Tarak, he also has other reasons for wanting Dragek on their side. And Tarak being Tarak, he's always a few steps ahead of everyone else as he manipulates things to make sure his mate is protected.
Which brings us to Jade. She has a HUGE well of potential power and no idea how to access it. She accidentally calls Dragek to her with all this untutored power and THINGS HAPPEN. Soon she's hanging out on a Kordolian ship, making nice with the aliens who have come to "conquer" Earth, and finding out that the thing the doctors on Earth want to cure her of isn't a condition that needs to be cured at all. In fact, she's pretty darn important in the grand scheme of things.
We have betrayals and trust and allies found in unexpected places. Tarak and his First Division warriors have ample reasons to make sure Earth stays a safe haven and they will burn down the universe to make sure their mates are protected. Things are twisty and complicated and these Kordolians refuse to back down no matter what the tattered remains of the Empire throws at them.
I'm sad to say goodbye to this series, but MAN was it a good ending.
