"What Comes Before Dawn" by Addison Michael is a gripping thriller that takes readers on an intense journey of suspense, secrets, and self-discovery. Paige Deffer's life is shattered with a single phone call revealing her mother's murder, thrusting her into a world of deception and danger that she never could have anticipated.

The strength of Michael's narrative lies in the skillful weaving of a complex web of secrets, lies, and unexpected twists. From the very beginning, the reader is drawn into Paige's world, where the unsettling revelation about her mother's true identity sets the stage for a thrilling exploration of hidden truths. The author adeptly creates a sense of urgency that propels the story forward, making it difficult for readers to put the book down.

Paige's character is well-crafted, and her journey of self-discovery adds depth to the narrative. As she peels back the layers of deception surrounding her mother's past, she is forced to confront not only external threats but also the shadows within herself. The emotional turmoil and psychological tension that Paige experiences contribute to the overall intensity of the story.

The unraveling of multiple secrets and the introduction of suspicious characters keep the plot engaging. Michael succeeds in creating an atmosphere of suspense, prompting readers to question the motives and true identities of the characters. The incorporation of unexpected twists adds an extra layer of intrigue, keeping the reader guessing until the final pages.

While "What Comes Before Dawn" is a thrilling read with a well-executed plot, some readers may find certain elements of the storyline somewhat predictable. The theme of hidden identities and dark pasts has been explored in the thriller genre before, and Michael follows a familiar pattern. However, the author's execution and the incorporation of unique twists make the novel stand out.

In conclusion, "What Comes Before Dawn" is a solid four-star thriller that delivers on its promise of suspense and mystery. Addison Michael's ability to craft a compelling narrative, combined with well-developed characters and unexpected twists, makes this a worthwhile read for fans of the genre. If you enjoy thrillers that explore the complexities of identity and unravel dark secrets, "What Comes Before Dawn" is a compelling addition to your reading list.
