Born at Midnight
Barnes and Nobel Synopsis:
Don’t miss this spectacular new series that will steal your heart and haunt your dreams, Welcome to Shadow Falls camp, nestled deep in the woods of a town called Fallen…
One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever. Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren’t just “troubled.” Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapshifters, witches and fairies train side by side—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world.
Kylie’s never felt normal, but surely she doesn’t belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either. Or does she? They insist Kylie is one of them, and that she was brought here for a reason. As if life wasn’t complicated enough, enter Derek and Lucas. Derek’s a half-fae who’s determined to be her boyfriend, and Lucas is a smokin’ hot werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past. Both Derek and Lucas couldn’t be more different, but they both have a powerful hold on her heart.
Even though Kylie feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear—Shadow Falls is exactly where she belongs…
My Review:
In my opinion this book is AMAZING! I could hardly put it down. I would have read straight through if I didn't have to go to school(sympathy sigh). I love how there is such a mystery. What is she? Why is she there? Who does she like? (heads spin in overload) This is a real page turner. I love how she portrayed the love square. I can usually tell who the character is going to chose, but with this one I have no idea. -lol- Tell me who you think she will end up with and why.

Nevermore
And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!
-- from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe
At once an homage to one of America's greatest writers and a page-turning psychological mystery that is equal parts horror, humor, and romance, NEVERMORE is the story of Varen -- a Poe-fan and goth -- and Isobel -- a cheerleader and unlikely heroine. When a Lit. project pairs the two together, Isobel finds herself steadily swept into Varen's world, one that he has created in his notebook and in his mind, one where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. Isobel slowly learns that dreams can be much more powerful than she'd ever expected, and that pain and despair come in all sorts of shades. As labels of "goth" and "cheerleader" fade away, she sees more in Varen than a tall, pale outcast, and a consuming romance is braced against the ever-clearer horror that the most terrifying realities are those within our own minds.
When Isobel has a single chance to rescue Varen from the shadows of his own nightmares, will she be able to save him -- and herself?
My Review:
Omg!!!This book was amazing. I just could not put it down! I was expecting there to be a stronger love connection between Varen and Isobel, but I have to admit that I loved that this book just kept me guessing. The whole time I was wondering what was going to happen. What did happen shocked me beyond belief(gasp). I love the poetry in this book, it really made me want to grab a Poe book and just start reading. What I liked most about this book is the mysterious story within the story. It made me feel like I was in this crazy upside-down world(insert head spin here). I love this book and hope you will read it and love it too. :D

Nightshade Review!!!!
Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything-- including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?
My Review:
Omg!!! This has to be one of the best books I have read in a long time. First of all Calla hates being controlled. She is a true alpha. When Ren and Calla come together a new pack will be aligned (Oohhhhh)!!! But will Calla allow that to happen?? Well Ren starts to heat things up with Calla and she seems to really like it (wink, wink). But wait!! There's another man that has eyes for our young Calla. Shay is the mysterious new student with the hots for a certain she-wolf (insert claws here). Ren won't have any of that (no way). Things are about to change in the quiet town. Upon the mating ceremony, Calla and Shay start exploring his origins, among other things (oh BABY). Over all this book was fantastic, mysterious, and a joy to read. This is the first book like this that I have read that I actually want the one chosen for her by her parents to win. I hope all of you read this book. It's amazing!!!
