Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty good read
Review: I have to admit, I blew through this book in about an hour. It was not that it was insubstantial (the book is 225 pages long), it was because it was a generally good read. I couldn't put it down.

The book is about Sarah Vida, a member of the Vida line of witches. The Vidas are elite vampire killers and devote their entire lives to that goal. Sarah was raised with the rules of the Vidas and was taught to see the world in black and white. That is until she meets Christopher...

Christopher is a vampire, but he is weak and does not feed on human blood. Although she has been trained to hate vampires, Sarah soon finds herself charmed by the artistic and polite Christopher. Through her relationship with Christopher, Sarah begins to see that having vampire blood does not make a person evil. She learns that the world is not black and white and that there are shades of gray.

While the book is not incredibly profound, it is still very entertaining. That in itself is a good thing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: This was such a great book. I loved the characters, even the antagonist Nikolas. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves supernatural novels. Again, it was awesome!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very good vampire story
Review: I really enjoyed Shattered Mirror. It was an interesting and enjoyable book. The best part is it ends well. I have been disapointed by many books for their endings. Some times it seems authers have forgotten how to write a book that ends with 'happily ever after' I advice you buy this book, as well as Amelia Atwater-Rhodes other books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I love these books!
Review: I first stumbled upon Amelia Atwater-Rhodes while I was at my local library. I love the way she writes and makes you feel connected to the characters, and how you can't help but root for the good guy. I liked Shattered Mirror because,number one, I love any vampire, witch, shapeshifter fantasy. Number two, It's believable, it almost seems real. It takes place in Massachusetts. I also could relate to Sarah Tigeress Vida. She acts tough, but deep down she had fears and a little insecurity. I kind of fell for Christopher too. (I guess I'm a little bit of a romantic.) The only thing I didn't like about this story was that there were a few loose ends. I hope there will be a sequel. I want to know what happens between Sarah and her family, how she handles going from a vampire hunter/witch, to her relationship with Christopher, and how they handle Kaleo. I do highly recommend this book and any other titles by Atwater-Rhodes. She has an incredible talent.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Cliche, cliche, cliche.
Review: While some confusingly bitter reviewers angrily state that the story is "stolen" from that horrid show Buffy, I'm afraid the story is Amelia's. It would seem that her talent peaked with her last book, "Demon in my View". Honestly, if you want to read more by this author, skip this book and continue on to her fourth one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: good vampire book
Review: I thought this book was excellent. Geared toward teens, it expresses some of the emotions they feel many days. Sara, the main character, mirrors how some of us feel, confused. I liked the vampires, especially Christoper. The book flows smoothly, and is easy to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who has read 'The Last Vampire' series by Christopher Pike or just likes vampires.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books EVER
Review: The minute that I read this book, I fell in love with it. I checked it out at my school's library along w/her other books, In the forests of the night, and demon in my view. The first 2 were pretty good, but this one was AWESOME! The plot is really good, and unexpected things happen during the book you wouldn't expect from certain characters. I give it 5 stars, and this author has a gift no one can take away!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining Story by the Vampire Queen Herself!
Review: This is a great story of forbidden love, a vampire huntress falls in love with a vampire now if that isn't breaking the vida law then I don't know what is. She also puts her life on the line a number of times to avenge her ancestors on a horrid yet intoxicating vampire named nicholas. This is a story of action and love hate relationships a great novel the best winter read on a dark night it will let you escape into the dark gothic mists of rhodes latest most intriguing novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A stunning book....
Review: Amelia Atwater-Rhodes continues to write about vampires in this book which is one of my personal favorites.Its about a vampire hunter who moves into a town where good vampires goto school with her and she ends up associating with them much to the displeassure of her family.So what happens when a forbidden bond is created between the vampire hunter and the vampires?If you really want to know then read this book,once you start you may not be able to put it down though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Reminds me of Night World books by L J Smith
Review: Sarah is a Witch. One of her duties is the slaying of vampires. These are not your typical vampires. Some of them go to school with Sarah. Not all Vampires are bad. Some of them feel that killing is wrong and some feel that drinking human blood is wrong.

It is a rich and interesting world that reminds me very much of the Night World books by L. J. Smith. If you are familiar with them and like them, then I am sure you will enjoy this book as well.

Sarah has just started a new school. Sarah ir rather head-strong and does not always follow her mother's orders (her mother is chief witch, head of the line and very powerful). This really comes out regarding two of Sarah's classmates. They are vampires and seem to be of the "good variety". At least she can not detect that either has had human blood.

So, take the structure of Night World, add a dash of Angel (read it and you will see) and you get a very entertaining book with an interesting plot and an ending you do not see coming.
