Summary: AMAZING TO SAY THE LEAST
Review: This book was unbelieveable when you consider how young she is compared to other great successful authors in her genre. I enjoyed this book so much and i think that is sorta saying somthing to me because its hard for me to find a really good vampire story like this one and suprises you at every turn of the page. Sarah Vida is an excellent heroine. This is an amazing story that alot of young readers will enjoy basically becuase it reaches them on certain levels where authors like Anne Rice can't reach because of the age diffrence that Atwater-Rhodes covers. I hope everyone will read this book because to me it as a must have for any teen vampire romance/action fan

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Vida Laws
Review: Sarah Vida is the youngest daughter of the Vida family, an ancient group of witches who are vampire hunters. After a violent confrontation with Kaleo (a vampire), she begins school with a broken arm. She meets Christopher and Nissa, vampires who are unaware of the origin of her wound. The brother and sister quickly become friends with Sarah even though it is against Vida law to befriend vampires. At the same time Sarah is on the trail of Nikolas, an extremely old vampire who had killed a member of the Vida family many years ago. She soon finds out the story of Christopher and Nissa as their friendship grows. At night she goes to vampire parties, looking for Nikolas, armed with various knives ready to kill Nikolas at any cost.

This book was awesome! There was such inner turmoil, so much tension and many life-or-death situations. Sarah was such a strong person, but still vulnerable. The vampires in this book were really deep and there seemed to be three basic types of vampires:

Vicious - They leave their victims dying in the street -Kaleo
Gentle - Snack on their victims and let them go afterwards -Nissa
Possessive - Blood bond themselves to their victims -Nikolas

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another great book by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Review: Sarah Tigress Vida is a vampire hunter and a witch. She is the youngest daughter of Dominique Vida, the most famous vampire hunter around. But trouble starts brewing when Sarah meets two charming vampires posing as high school students. Christopher and Nissa Ravena. Christopher is a "harmless" vampire, living off animal blood or willing human donors. He is artistic, kind and, of course, really hot. Sarah reluctantly begins to find herself crushing on him bad and becoming closer and closer to him and his sister. Christopher returns the feelings by writing her love poetry and giving her sketches he has made. But then things start to spin outta control. Turns out Christopher is actually Kristopher, twin brother of one of the most hated and hunted vampires of history, Nikolas. Nikolas is famous for carving his name into his victims and Sarah has always wanted to be the Vida to take Nikolas down. Will her feelings for Christopher cause her to hesitate?

OMG. Another great book. Man would I love to have a guy like Christopher. Woo!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An introduction to a world full of danger and suspense
Review: This book was sort of different than Atwater-Rhodes first two books, but equally as satisying. Sarah Vida, daughter of the leader of one of the most dangerous witch families, is an avid vampire hunter. She is currently following a vampire party circuit, and she gets launched into it in a way that violate all of the witch laws and the twists and turns of this novel surprised me thoroughly. In this book Atwater-Rhodes veers off her course of describing the lives of the more powerful of the vampires, instead describing the lives of the more viscious vampires, but less powerful. the ending was mildly disappointing, but the rest of the book more than made up for it. I was sort of hoping that Ms. Atwater-Rhodes would write about one of the older vampires, such as Fala, Jager, Ather, or even Silver himself. But if you want an action-packed novel with suspense and excitement, then this should be your pick!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Improvement
Review: I was impressed with her effort in this book. It was much better then her last which I was disappointed with. Though she lacked some elements like character build and her ending was exactly like Demon in My View so I give it three stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A forbidden love story
Review: With the forbidden love of vampires and witches, this book keeps you wanting to know more. A young author, but a great book!This is a must read for anyone who enjoys books like Harry Potter, the Silver Kiss, or Daughters of the Moon. This book kept me up reading till I got to the last page. An absolute AWWWW and OOHHH sort of book that everyone should get a feel of.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, not fantastic, but still good.
Review: I loved this book. I truly did, the story was breathtaking and although not as amazing as "In the Forests of the Night" it was very well written. The only reason I gave this only 4 stars was because of the end of the book which seems rushed. It could have been better but I'd definitely put this on my 2nd favorites list that consist of books I very much enjoyed but didn't love. But I suggest this book for a rainy day I think you'll enjoy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Never One To Dissapoint Me
Review: I love this book and all of Amelia Atwater-Rhodes books. I can hardly put my book down! The only thing about this book that buggs me is that it totaly got off the subject of Aubry and Risika and those people. I LOVE Aubry! He's my favorite character. I would love to see Amelia write more on Aubry.
Other than that small set back, I really enjoyed this book and anyone who is intrested in vampires should read it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow.
Review: Sometimes, browsing through a bookstore for random, seemingly interesting books can have really, really great results. Thats how I got hooked on Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. And while her third book is definately a diffrent style, its still great.
She has obviously gotten more in tune with her emotional side of writing with this. Not only was it gut wrenching at some points, but heart wrenching at the same time. Making the reader feel a variety of emotions is what an author's job IS, and Amelia really came through this time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Ending made me want to throw up
Review: I have no problem with this being about a vampire hunter. Believe it or not people, Buffy wasn't the first thing to use them.

The story started off good, but the ending good really stupid, for the lack of a better word. Nike is a killer who tortues his victims and makes them his followers, but is good and moral because he doesn't kill them? Uh, no, that didn't go down my thoat no matter how hard the author tried to shove it. The idea of vampires, after living a hundred years, decide to go to high school is hard to believe. The ending is the same as Demon in my View and it's hard to buy this time around. The vampires (who kill people) are made to be the good guys while the witchs (who risk their lives to save us meer mortals) are the bad guys. The idea that a person, who's father was killed by vampire, would sit well with the idea that they are vampires is outrageous.

The author needs to wait a couple of years before she writes another book. In that time span, she should watch people and see how they act. Because the Chacters she creates are not even remotely close to the people on plant earth.
