Demon in My View by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

The main character of this book is a young human by the name of Jessica briefly mentioned in the first book because of her ability to write the truth about the vampire world without knowing it is real. She may be a successful author under her pen name but as a high schooler she is an outcast. When Alex and Caryn both show up new to the school and trying to be nice to her she isn’t sure how to react especially because Alex is identical to the character Aubrey that Jessica thinks she made up. Both of them know the truth but what are their true intentions and what side will Jessica choose?

In the Forests of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Atwater-Rhodes wrote this book at the age of 13. She is only 3 years older than me and I was enchanted when I stumbled upon this book so much like the things I myself was trying to write. The vampire Risika was born the human Rachel. She struggled to retain her humanity and to be free of the control of others. She was free of her father but instead she was ruled by her fear of Aubrey and her desire to have her vengeance on him for the murder of her twin brother Alexander. The pacing is a little disorienting at times, but the unique story makes up for it. An easy but entertaining read.
