Rating: Summary: She keeps getting better Review: I finished this book with in one day. I loved it so much i could not put it down. It was interesting to see this side of Aubrey. But i recomend reading her first book in order to understand better what she is writing. I commend her on her great work. She has inspired me to be more expressive in my writing.
Rating: Summary: Demon in my Veiw Review: I have read many books about Vampires and science fiction, but never have I read such an intrigueing book on this subject. The author, being as young as she is, has magnifinclty toled the story of a young author who discovers that the characters she has written about are real. I was sooooo amazed by this story of a somewhat fiction romance. I have read this book twice, both times in one day. After I was done reading it the first time, I just kept thinking about and picturing everything that happend in the book in my mind. So I had to read it again, it was even better the second time. I love how the "touh" guy in this book turns into a totaly different guy. It may be, it may be about vampires and witchs, but it is a GREAT book!!!
Rating: Summary: A great horror book for teens and adults. Review: Amelia Atwater-Rhodes' second book is a great one. Somewhat different from the first, the book includes alot of ideas linking her first book to her second. In the book Demon in my View, it tells about a girl, Jessica, griefly mentioned in her first book, is a teenage outcast. Nobody likes her in her her school untill two new students enroll into Ramsa High. One is an annoying girl who thinks Jessica's inner child needs a friend. The second student is a dark, handsome, mysterious boy, who looks an awful like Aubrey. He is a vampire in Jessica's book Dark Flame. From his pendents from his tatoos, he is exactly like Aubrey. He is sent on a killing mission of the author, untill he falls deeply in love. What will happen? Read Demon In My View by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes and find out for your self.
Rating: Summary: Unfortunate Review: I'd draw the comparisons between Amelia and I, just to show that I can relate. I'm a 15 year old aspiring writer who also has a penchant for otherworldly creatures (vampires, etc), but Demon in my View is much like all the other horror/fanfiction stories online, and doesn't deserve to be published anymore than they do.For one, I find it ridiculous that Jessica is "Drop dead gorgeous, has a body to kill for, etc." while she is unpopular. No matter how cynical, no matter how bitchy one is, I have found the beautiful ones are always popular. The characters are all vaguely defined spare for the oh so modest autobiographical Jessica, who sounds like she is written to sound too cynical. Seriously, this book was worse than an episode of Dawson's Creek. And that is very bad indeed. Predictable. In the Forests of the Night was by far better, although short, and still not worthy of publication. Yet Risika was more well-defined, and the novel had a solid if a bit digressive story line. Amelia chose to focus on using words that will make her sound like an adult rather than focus on the developing plot and description. Aubrey wasn't even the antagonist. She did in every way possible to just try and make him suave, which made me vomit. In short, it's acceptable writing, perhaps a pale imitation of 40-year old writers who write teen novels (Pascal, Pike, Stine, etc.) Like a bad episode of Dawson's Creek, irritable characters surface everywhere, the plot is predictable, full of teen angst and not even any witty lines (that you might see in buffy, at least.) Acceptable, but not good.
Rating: Summary: An excellent Book Review: I love this book. It was great! The writing was excellent and the end totally blew me away! I can't wait for Amelia's next book. This book perfectly mixes suspense, romance, and fantasy.
Rating: Summary: I wish I could go lower than 1 star Review: Ok I will give her a 1/2 star for an attempt because she is so young and she is published and I am not, but the editor needs to be fired. This book had characters coming out of the wood works. No explanation. No description. Alas, I do not fault the author it's the editor who needs a crash course writing. Also I am a 25 year old reader, the field wouldn't let me enter my real age.
Rating: Summary: BREATH-TAKING! Review: I loved it! It kept my attention the whooooooole time. Please Amelia Atwater-Rhodes write another book! Everyone will totally fall for it. Amelia again inspires me to write more at a young age! PLEASE READ IT!

Rating: Summary: I underestimated this talented young girl! Review: When I read her first book, IN THE FORESTS OF THE NIGHT, I was sorely disappointed. She went to fast and lacked character development. But in her follow up, DEMON IN MY VIEW, she shows that she has grown as a writer since her first book. I found her second one to be outstanding. You go gurl
Rating: Summary: Impressive writing but something was lacking... Review: I think that the writing was impressive, especailly on a 16-year-old. The story was pretty good but something was missing. I liked seeing Aubery return and lots of charecter devolpement in his direction. But I found a few things strange about it. It almost felt like the author was putting herself in the lead charecter spot. And with the whole Aubery story-lline was like reading "Daughters of Darkness." He reminds me way to much of Ash, an evil charecter in the first book but he has a change of heart in the second when he meets his soulmate. I'm looking forward to her next book, I hope her writing will mature along with her age.
