This story is almost eight years old. The same age my blog turns next month. As a matter of fact, I bought this book almost eight years ago. And it sat on my shelf waiting it's turn. And I really wish it hadn't have had to wait so long. Because it's a really good story. And I'm not the only one that feels that way. There are over 75K ratings and over 4K reviews on Goodreads for this book. It averages above 4 stars after EIGHT years. That's amazing. But I'm also glad I waited to read this story. Why? Let me tell you.

First, I've been in slump. I'm not sure it was slump so much as a streak of reading meh books. I began to think it was me that had the issue and not all the really bad books I was reading. So I called it a slump. And I hid in the pages of old favorites to deal with my reading need. I was afraid to read a new book for fear it would be just as bad as everything else I'd read lately. Then I was wondering through the bookstore looking at YA books. And I found this book. This book that's eight years old. And I remember that I owned this book. And I went home and found it. And I got stuck in it's pages.

Second, I'm really glad that the whole series is out and I can just beige read it. AND there's a spin off series I can dig into after that.

Finally, it's clear I've just been reading the wrong books. I need to refocus my book choices to the things I really enjoy.

You might wonder why this book is good. I'll tell you. It's got great characters. I love the struggle that Kylie is facing as she tries to deal with who she really is. I even love her indecision as she tries to decide which boy she likes. I actually really like both Derick and Lucas. I have a preference but I could be okay with either choice. Derick is there for her a lot. A good friend. Lucas has the mystery about him and he's not everything Kylie thinks he is. There's enough of a difference between them for her to be confused. I like that struggle. It feels real despite this book being paranormal.

I'm a very character driven reader so it's important that I see the characters as real. But the story needs to be there too. It's not just the beginning of a story. There is a whole story here. Yeah, I want more. I have questions and the next book I read will be book two but this one ends in a good place. And the important threads of this book have answers. The mystery of who Kylie is evolves slowly and while there is no answer yet, a big question has been answered. There's nothing left that I'm growling about not being answered. It's clear they will be answered.

The pacing felt like it was right for this story. Things unraveled as the characters could handle it. I had a hard time putting the book down and read it over just a couple of days. And like I said, I definitely want the next book now.

It's nice to stumble upon a book, a series that can draw you in and make you happy. This one has that effect. Books don't need to be just released to be good. And I'm really glad I found this one at the exact time that I found it. Maybe you need this book now too.

Born at Midnight A Shadow Falls Novel C C Hunter Books Reviews

I loved, loved, loved this story!!!!! I loved everything about it!!! I fell in love with all of the characters. I don't think there was a character I didn't like. This book has everything you could want in a story romance, action, friendship. I was hooked after the very first page. It was very hard to put down.

Kylie has a lot of things going on in her life. Her Nana dies, her boyfriend broke up with her, and her parents are getting divorced. This happened all at once. Kylie goes to a party and gets arrested. Her mom then decides to send her off to camp at Shadow Falls. Kylie realizes that everything that she believed didn't exist, does exist. She is also told that she is special like them too. Only, she doesn't want to be special. She just wants to be normal so she denies that she is like them.

I loved Kylie as a character. I enjoyed watching her grow as a person. I enjoyed watching her find herself, especially when she realizes that she is special too. She just doesn't know what she is yet. I can't wait to find out!!!!

I also loved Lucas and Derek. I adored both the guys. They both seem to really care about Kylie and she really cares about both of them. I loved the steamy kiss between Lucas and Kylie!!! It left me breathless!!! I love both guys, but I am leaning towards Lucas. I hope that the next book pushes me one way or the other.

Miranda and Della were hilarious!!! All they did was bicker and fight. But they are best friends. They would stand up for each other no matter what.

I highly recommend this book to everyone!!!! I absolutely loved it!!!! Can't wait to read Awake at Dawn!!!!
Kylie Galen was having enough trouble with her life with her boyfriend breaking up with her, her parents tumultuous divorce, and trying to just be a kid who didn't feel wanted. Being sent to Shadow Falls camp for troubled teens, was not on her radar. She was a good girl, despite what her mom thought.

Finding out the camp is for teens who go bump int the night was another matter altogether. For Kylie, she doesn't believe that she is a supernatural creature. Yes, she can see a ghosts but really so can a lot of other normal people. Fighting against herself, Kylie has to decide if she is wiling to find out who she is or will she hide behind her fear.

I wasn't sure if I would get into this book, but I am so glad I picked it up. Had several twists to the paranormal world. I appreciated that Kylie's problems were real problems with her parents, boyfriend, friends they were relatable. Liked all the side characters, look forward to more in this series.
There are several plot threads in this supernatural summer camp story. The love triangle is handled well enough, but I'm particularly happy with the friendships the main character forges. The mysteries, on the other hand, were a bit of a letdown.

Love triangle I am not a fan of love triangles, but those who like stories about a girl pursued by two super-hot boys will enjoy this one. Lots of messy, confusing feelings and a terrifically awful ex poised to get his comeuppance.

Two big mysteries

1) What supernatural species is the main character? It's not answered in this book, but that doesn't particularly bother me. I don't mind a long plot thread weaving its way through multiple books.

2) What exactly is going on to make camp management so nervous? The handling of this mystery was my biggest complaint with the book. I feel as if this plot thread could have been completely removed without disrupting anything. It didn't get enough space to hook itself into the greater narrative, getting tacked on at the end without any emotional payoff.

I laughed out loud during the struggling kitten scene.

I love Kylie's friends. Della and Miranda are wonderful. I'm also dying to see more of Helen, who is totally who I'd be hanging out with if I were there.

Edit Unfortunately, the series has fewer awesome moments and more issues as it continues.
