Summary: Witty and Exciting
Review: This second volume, Demon in my View, I personally like better than the first. I absolutely love Rhodes' vampire characters. This book was a really great read. I recommend it for any young adults. I liked that she included Aubrey in this book, because I really liked him in "In the Forests of the night", too. Also, I like that she completely flipped his personality, but only in a certain view. All-in-all, this book was great.

Summary: "Demon in My View"
Review: I thought this book was excellently written. I can't say much because there are really no words to do my opinion justice, but I'll just say that I borrowed "In the Forests of the Night" and I loved it. WIthout even reading "Demon in My View" I went out and bought it the next day. I'm kinda sad that the book is short enough to read in one day... but the book was written so well that in my own stupor I started to contemplate whether vampires do exist. Read it and see for yourself.

Summary: Its a page turner!
Review: This book was really good, I couldn't put it down and ended up staying up all night just to finish, even though its not long, its awesome, but at the beginning i was slightly lost, like theres a series and i missed something, but then everything became clear, so if you like vampire novels, then pick it up for a fun read.

Summary: Pathetic attempt
Review: This book just over uses the whole vampire and human being fall for each other thing. Amelia streotypes the whole outcast thing making them all out as cynical think they are better then everyone.The writer who happens to be writing the exact events in exchange . . . see where I am going. This book is full of originality and no thought up ideas by her own creative mind. This book doesn't evn show a creative atmosphere. I admit the vampire being able to survive in the sunlight is fine but i think if she was going to change that se should at least tried to change the world a little rathe then setting it in our world using modern world science fiction.I can't think of anyone who could relate to her character: Jessica. I know plenty of outcast who love writing but they aren't cold and heartless. She doesn't have have a soul. This book is crap. I have never read something so inexperienced by someone my age. I have read better.

Summary: Good, but not great...
Review: As a teacher of middle-level gifted students, I was thrilled to see a book written by an adolescent receive such widespread praise. Based on both student and publisher reviews, I was quick to order "A Demon in my View." When the book arrived, I eagerly read it in one sitting (a little over an hour). While a good read, the book was a disappointment. The text is entirely too short for such a story. Atwater-Rhodes could have had a much better (and more involved story) had she chosen to develop her characters further. As is, the book is an extremely fast read and lacks any depth. I'd rather she combined her first two (or three) short novels into a longer, more involved (and explanatory) one. I wanted to know more about the main characters. Their histories, when discussed, are short and shallow. Their conversations are basic and unimaginative. The one redeeming quality of the book was in how Atwater-Rhodes handled the main character's dream sequences. Albeit short, they are almost poetic. I look forward, actually, to reading more of Atwater-Rhodes' books and I do think, to this point, that her works are acceptable. However, would an author with an age of "30" have received such positive reviews? Doubtful. For an adolescent (teenager? young adult?), Atwater-Rhodes does a commendable job. As she grows up and matures, though, I sincerely hope her books gain depth and length.

Summary: Demon in My Veiw
Review: This Vampric novel is ravaishly colaborated by a young 15 yr. old girl. Surprisingly enough, this author has mastered the art of doing an exelent job of deeply presenting to the reader a world full of mystery and suspense. I became emotionally attached to Aubery, Jessica, and Caryn, as they ventured though out the story. I rate "Demon in My View" 5 stars, because of the novels dark, errie depth, and griping storyline.

Summary: Easy Reading
Review: Jessica is a teenage girl who writes novels under the pen name Ash Night. Her inspiration for writing comes to her in spouts- usually in dreams. Yet when a new guy, Alex, visits her high school, he uncannily resembles the main character of her novels-a vampire Abrey Jessica finds out that what she writes is true, and she has offended many because of her books. Soon, Jessica is enveloped in a paradoxical world of realism and fantasy, and she finds out that she no longer has control over whether she lives or dies.
Overall, I found the book easy to read and the content easy to understand. The plot was interesting, and I enjoyed how it seemed the book would be about a loner teenage writer, and then another story formed within that. So it is something of a story in a story. However, there are not any clues of her past preceding the climax of the story. Jessica finds out why she is like she is by simply asking someone and connecting it with a dream- not very exciting. The book was too unsurprising, even if it was a good read. At times, the author just fed the reader the facts, and at other times she led up to them. Overall, a good book for a quick read.

Summary: Boring, just too, well, stupid!
Review: When I first read this book, I got through the first chapter and fell asleep on my couch! I waited two weeks, and forced myself to get all the way through it. The thing I found least exciting about this book is that she wrote the book about her books! Only a writer down on her luck writes like that. Also, every character was dark, gloomly, the same. I LOVED her last book, In the Forest of the Night. Then in this book, the vampires turned from superman strong to can't kill a girl. I was disappointed at this. When I was finished with this book I thought, I can write better then this. Now I am writing my own book. Her books only got published was because she is a teen. Publishers thought, "Money-maker!" Well thanks to you, Amelia, there is going to be a lot more teen writers.

Summary: defintly a must for those of interest in vampires
Review: this book is one of the best i've ever read. she, in my opinion has a great perception of my kind. i have a message for amelia,"keep on writing, we're not annoyed. you hit the hammer on the nail" -bestoer of the black rose.
this book brings a deeper understanding of aubrey, who is actualy a pretty cool guy, and a story that i would not have been able to describe so well.
