Summary: Amazing!
Review: It's truely is amazing that a girl at such a young age could write some as beautiful as this. It's no suprise that she is being compaired to writer's such as Anne Rice, because she truely does hold their talent. This book held it's own twists and mystery such as her first book, In the Forest of the Night! I would greatly request this book to anyone who is interested in vampires and even those who arent.

Summary: A fun, easy read
Review: I read and enjoyed Amelia Atwater-Rhodes first book, but i did think her writing needed a bit more development. This book definitly shows an advancement in her writing. I had been awaiting the release of her second book for a while, so you can imagine what an *ss I felt like when I realized that the book came out a month before I found it. Though I had to restrain myself from reading the entire book within the very evening that I got it, it was a lot of fun to read and -alright, I'll admit it- exciting at times. It has action- let's just say it wouldn't have as many stars if didn't have a couple fights- and the romance was vague- just the way i like it if there has to be any at all. But she still hasn't reached the pinnacle of her writing ability, though she has the potential, which is why i didn't give her only 4 stars. I think she has still has the tendency to be a bit superficial- not going too in depth- and her originality is well done but not spectacular. I even found in a few cases that actual text in the book was nearly identical to another book i've read (my favorite)- I know this for a fact since i've read that favorable book 9 times. (No, its not one of The Last Vampire books.) But, either way, its a very good book, and better and worse than the last book in different ways. Rock on, Amelia.

Summary: People are missing the point!
Review: Some of the other reviews are commenting on Aubrey's change from evil to good. They are saying that this is a bad change to the story. But that is Ms. Rhodes whole point. There is no total evil, there is always room for the good in someone. Even someone like Aubrey. I thoroughly enjoyed her first book, In the Forests of the Night, but i saw a more mature style coming through in Demon in My View. The author had a much more twisted plot with many threads that she wound together in the end, and some, she hopefully will bring back in other books. I cannot wait for her next book and her next book tour! Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is a very talented woman and i hope that she doesn't give this up!

Summary: Writer still shows promise on this second effort
Review: Ms. Atwater-Rhodes' second book is not quite as effective as the first one. This is due I believe to her introduction of a character representing herself who then encounters her own literary creations. This makes for a less compelling story because the reader is constantly confronted with issues of whether the narrator completely believes in the story. Contrast the first book wherein no such device was used and the uncluttered story was much more powerful. However - having said this - I am also quite convinced that this young writer has a great deal of talent and I fully intend to read her next vampire book. My daughter Sarah, who is 12, introduced me to this author. She also feels this book is not quite as good as the first one, in which the story was told from a vampire's point of view and the characters (she feels) were more exciting. However it should also be noted that she has read this book 7 times and the first one, In the Forests of the Night, 12 times so - there is no question that Ms. Atwater-Rhodes is her favorite writer. Parents take note: here is a readable and exciting young author to whom you might want to introduce your kids around my daughter's age. I myself have enjoyed both of Ms. Atwater-Rhodes's books and look forward to more, as does my daughter who can't wait for the next one.

Summary: I am greatly offended!
Review: For many a years now, I have been told that I have a very advancedreading comprehension. I can even spell comprehension right. When Iread Demon In My View I was insulted that it was in the Young Adultsection of the bookstore. It should be by the tabloids in thesupermarket. The sheer and utter stupidity of making herself the maincharacter bothered me to the point of insanity. Aubrey was made outto be a villian in FOREST OF THE NIGHT, but in DEMON he is a kind"vampire" Can we say identity crisis? Or, was this Aubreyactually a good clone of the original villian? The lack oforiginality, creativity, and character development numbed my brainuntil it froze over and fell apart like spoiled peanut brittle. Lookhow original that comment was! I am more original than Amelia willever be, and I am 12. I used to have respect for Delacorte Press andthe great young adult books they published. But now all they careabout is getting publicity from an "average" teen"writer", and this greatly disturbs my profound intelligence... That is what I gave it a star, and because you can't give negativestars....

Summary: One of my favorites
Review: In my opinion, Demon in my View was a great book. Aside from the occasional lack of description, there is excellent storytelling and content. The characters are well developed and the plot is very thought out.

Summary: Demon in My Veiw
Review: I loved the book Demon in My Veiw, because even though the book is fiction it almost directly relates to my life. If you liked In the Forest of the Night then you will love this book. Aubrey comes back along with Fala and Jager. Aubrey is the hero of this story. The book is also a partial biography of Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.

Summary: Demons In My Review
Review: Jessica is a secluded teenager who has a passion for writing, darkness... and vampires. Her first book, "Tiger, Tiger" has caused quite a stir, both in her world and the world of her characters, who turn out to be all to real for her safety. When she meets two new students in her school, she can't stand over-happy Caryn, but is drawn to Alex, who is frighteningly familiar to Aubrey, the seductive, yet deadly vilian of "Tiger, Tiger". This can't be true,of course. Vampires don't exist... or do they? What Jessica finds out will change her point of view forever, that is if she lives long enough to tell about it.

Summary: An excellant follow up to Forests of the Night!
Review: After reading forests of the night i searched for more books by Amelia but finding none i gradually gave up my search, but when i found Demon in my View i was thrilled. Amelia is an excellant author and makes the carachters feelings and themselves very realistic. she almost had me convinced in vampires. Jessica is a dark, angry senior in Ramsa High and although none of them know it she has written a book which many of them have read under the pen name Ash Night. Most of the students try and ignore, her but when sunny Caryn Smoke and dark, mysterious Alex Remington arrive they both seem very interested in her both in very differents ways. When Jessica discovers that in fact Alex is Aubrey from her book she deepens into his and many other vampires lives causing mayhem where she goes as she is attacked by Fala an age old vampire and drawn to Aubrey in a way she has never felt before. As the plot thickens Jessica is lead into the lifes of the vampires she has written about and the dangerous game of cat and mouse with Aubrey/Alex. Aubrey not sure whether he wants to kill or love her has to choose and in it he drastically changes hers and his life.
