Demon in My View

By Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Book two of the Den  Of Shadows quartet

Seventeen year-old Jessica Allodola doesn't fit in at her high school, and she doesn't really care. She has a secret, however: she writes vampire fiction under the pen name Ash Night. What she doesn't know is that the characters in her books are real, and that some of them don't like what she's writing. When a new student shows up at her school, she immediately recognises him as the vampire Aubrey from her books. But he doesn't exist outside of her imagination, right? Jessica is about to find out just how real her vampires and their world are. This is one of my favorite stories by this author, and is, in my opinion at least, better written than the first book in this series. Interestingly, "Tiger, Tiger", Jessica's first book, has the same plot as In the Forests of the Night. I wish I could read Jessica's book Dark Flame, but I am pretty sure it only exists in this book.  Demon in My View is a great story, and the series, author, world, and characters are just amazing. I loved Jessica, Aubrey, Caryn, and even liked Fala. SUCH an awesome book!

In the Forests of the Night

By Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Book One of the Den of Shadows Quartet

When you are a vampire, if you show your fear, you die. To survive you need to be strong and fearless. Risika is a vampire, and a powerful one, but three hundred years ago she was human. Now, as she prepares to face down Aubrey, the one vampire she fears, her mind wanders back to that time. Two stories are told in this book: the story of Risika now, and the story of her when she was human. Quite honestly, I don't think this is the author's best work, but I did enjoy it, and your opinion may be different. I love  this author, and it drives me nuts that I know hardly anyone who reads her stuff. Her world makes for great stories.

Hawksong

 By Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Book one of the Kiesha'Ra

Two nations of shapeshifters, the avians and the serpiente, have been at war for so long that no one can remember how the fighting started. In an attempt at peace, the heir to the avian throne, Danica Shardae, agrees to marry the serpiente prince: Zane Cobriana. However, when serpiente legend says the avians have no souls, and some avians don't believe the sepiente can really be called people, is peace even possible? The avians and the serpiente may have a chance at peace, but can Danica even trust Zane? One of my biggest pet peeves is how few people have read the Keisha'ra series, or anything by this author. I love the author, the writing, the plot, the characters and everything else about Hawksong.
