Review: Daybreak by Ellen Connor


Their mission was to save the world.
Their destiny is to fall in love.


It’s been twelve years since the Change, and Penelope Sheehan is one of the few still practicing magic for the good of humanity in this dark, dangerous world. Determined to infiltrate the notorious O’Malley organization, she poses as an abducted girl–until a furious lion thwarts her mission. When the beast turns into a devastatingly handsome man, she recognizes in him the troubled boy she once knew.

Since becoming a skinwalker, Tru Daugherty has allowed his animal nature to take over. Aloof and cynical, he takes no interest in making the world a better place. He’s a creature of instinct and impulse, living only to satisfy his senses–ignoring the scarred heart nobody has ever reached. He’s also the best man to help Pen bring down the O’Malley crime ring.

Fighting alongside the last holdouts of humanity, they unleash a passion that tempts them to risk everything for love. But if they succeed, Tru and Pen hold the power to brighten the Dark Age for all time.



A great end to a fantastic trilogy.  I think I say this in each review for the previous books, but if you want a myriad of genres blended seamlessly together, this series is a great one.  It's got it all -- in spades.

We are reintroduced to Pen(ny) and Tru twelve years after the Change brought them together in the first place.  While both have matured and grown, benefiting from their years with Mason and Jenna, they are still, on the inside, the same characters we learned about in Nightfall.  Tru has kind of a chip on his shoulder; Pen keeps to herself, not quite silent but ever observant.  That they find each other again is a little bit shocking and also expected because as we saw in Nightfall, they compliment one another.  They need one another.

I'm sad to say good-bye to this world and these characters.  This is a series not to be missed.
