Summary: Another great one
Review: this book focuses on Aubrey, from "In the Forests of the Night", and Jessica, a rebellious teenager and author. Aubrey has to pose as a student in jessica's school, and eventually kill her. why? because the books jessica writes about vampires are true events, and some of the vampires that jessica has written about are not happy about what was said about them. a witch is sent to help save jessica. there is a romantic twist in this book, and you won't want to put this down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Some of the best YA fiction out there . . .
Review: "Demon in My View" follows a character briefly seen in its prequel, "In the Forests of the Night". Jessica is a young writer who writes about vampires, witches, and things that hunt in the night. Writing under the name of Ash Night, she has published one novel so far, with a second on the way. Where she gets her ideas from, she doesn't know - they seem to spring effortlessly from her imagination straight to her laptop, where entire worlds of vampires, witches, and other creatures of the night take form. What Jessica doesn't realize is that what she is writing is not fiction; somehow, someway, she is chronicling of creatures that really exist; creatures that do NOT want their stories told, their presence amongst humans revealed. And not a few of them are VERY angry that Jessica - a mere human! - has chosen to share their secrets with the world; secrets she has no buiness knowing in the first place . . .

Among the most upset is Aubrey, one of the oldest and most vicious of the vampires, whose entire background and life story Jessica has pretty much revealed in her fiction. Aubrey, the hated enemy of the heroine Risika from "In the Forests of the Night", appoints himself Jessica's executioner, and sets out to stop her before she can write anymore about his life and world.

I liked this book even better than the first. You can tell Atwater-Rhodes had grown aLOT in the two years in between the writing of these two short novels, as in this one the pacing and characterization and even style are more assured. Also, the ending is much more complete and satisfying here than in the first, and I felt alot more comraderie with and compassion for Jessica than I ever did with Risika. My only complaint would be the odd names (especially last names) the author comes up with for some of her characters, at least her human ones; sometimes they throw you for a moment out of the spell of the book.

That said, it is still AMAZING that this young adult novel was written by a 15-year-old! Atwater-Rhodes truly has a gift, and in 5-10 years could give Anne Rice a run for her money. I hope she continues to write, and grow as a writer, and I eagerly look forward to reading "Shattered Mirror", the next in the series. Brava, Miss Atwater-Rhodes!

Summary: ***
Review: "Demon in My view" was a very good book. I loved the characters, espeically Aubrey!! This was the first book I've read by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, but I'm on the prowl for more. Anyone could enjoy the book and it's not a hard read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Much Better Than Her First Book
Review: When I read "In The Forests of The Night" I thought Amelia was a great writer, but the book wasnt that great. This book is soooo much better. I liked how it had all the same characters from her previous book. I love Aubrey and the guy on the cover of this book is sooooooo hot!!! But thats not the point. Since there isnt a summery thing on the back of this book, I'll tell a little about it. Its about Aubrey, a vampire (I think hes like 3,000 years old, I cant remember), and Jessica, an author who writes stories about vampires. She doesnt know it, but her stories are true. Aubrey is one of the strongest, most feared vampires, and he is sopposed to kill Jessica so she cant tell their stories anymore. One problem: They fall in love.... I loved reading about how Aubrey, this big, bad vampire, falls in love with a human. The ending was great, and I am now reading "Shattered Mirror". I cant wait untill Amelia's new book is published! I REALLY hope Aubrey and Jessica are in it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent read...Time well spent!
Review: This writer's works are fantastic. I have read all she has written so far and I am waiting for the next! The characters and the setting make this book a very chilling romance. Great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Book On Vampires I've Read
Review: I'm fourteen years old and a wannabe writer, but my work is nowhere as near as good as this beautifully dark story. I'vre read other reveiws of this book. Some of the low-starred ones I had to agree with, but others simply were confusing and hypocritical.
This book, Demon In My View, stars Jessica Allodola, a senior high school student who is shunned and scorned by her fellow classmates. There is something about her that makes them want to draw away from her. Little do they know, Jessica is also Ash Night, the author of a rather popular vampire book called "Tiger, Tiger".
Meanwhile, some very angry vampires are out for Jessica's life, for all of her stories, her books, including the published one, is true. Every vampire is furious as they see vampire hunters know exactly who and where to find them.
Then, two new students come to Jessica's school-Alex, a darkly handsome boy who reminds her stongly of Aubrey, the villian in her books, and Caryn, who's overly friendly but has a secret reason for being that way-a reason that could save Jessica.
This book is a very good one. This is a freash, new novel worth reading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great read
Review: I liked this book, mostly because I really liked Jessica. I liked the way other kids at school thought she was dangerous and that was okay with her. The ending surprised me. It wasn't at all what I thought would happen. Jessica's tough attitude makes the book a fun read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great For Fans Of Paranormal Phenomena
Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read featuring paranormal phenomena. Amelia Atwater Rhodes is an excellent author for her young age, and the words she chooses to describe different things in the books are so poetic.

Jessica Allodola is a High School Senior. She is viewed as an outcast and "witch" by her peers, and has no friends. Which doesn't bother her. She's a writer. Everything in her life centers around the characters of her books. You know, vampires, witches?

Jessica is shocked that this year the characters from her books are showing up at school. She finds out that what she thinks she's making up is actually real. From the made-up bar, Las Noches, to the characters, Aubrey, Fala, etc.

Soon Jessica is swept up into a worl of blood-sucking vampires who want more than just human blood. They want her blood.

This is an excellent book, and a must-read for anyone interested in Paranormal Phenomena or even just vampires.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Demon In My View

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Vampires, Witches, and everything great
Review: Not only are her plots well developed and interesting, the reading is easy. No hard words to stumble over. The flow of the story is smooth, rich, and wonderful. I have read all of the books by Atwater-Rhodes, and hope the girl writes more. If only all young adult authors wrote as she does. She knows how to combine all of the supernatural elements in a way I would have never even thought. If you haven't read any of her books, you should. They're great!
