Summary: Loved it
Review: This was an awesome book, and was still great the second and third time I read it too. I started reading it and couldn't put it down. My only complaint with it, as somebody else mentioned, is it is really short, I wish she could've expanded on things a little more. I've read two of her other three, Midnight Predator is also really good, but once again, i wish she could have followed the story out a little more. Ms. Rhodes is going to have a very promising future if she continues as she is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Girl From PA
Review: I loved this book! I read it over and over, and almost could not put it down. It is very romantic, and really suspenseful. Aubrey goes from being the villian in In the Forests of the Night to being the hero in this one. It is by far my favorite book that Ive read. Thanks Amelia Atwater- Rhodes, and I hope you write a few dozen more!.( I also was a little irritated when I saw the rating. In my opinion, it should have gotten an overall five Stars)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This was definatly a great book!
Review: this book was about a human girl named jessica, and she writes about vampires' historuies under a pen name- ash night. what she doesn't know is that the creatures and the characters that she thought to be a figment of her imagination, are really alive and they know about her stories. the vampires also want tokill her because thye know who she realy is, and they will kill her if they get the chance to. she doesnt realize they exist until one of them shows up at her school. though she reconizes him from her stories, she doesnt beleive its him, and hes been told to kill her, as shes disturbing the vampire world....

this is a relly gud story, and if you like anything about vampires or something of the sort, you should read this book. this author is gery talented 4 her age, and i hope she writes more on these spesfic characters.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Automatic Writing
Review: This is Amelia Atwater-Rhodes' second vampire novel, a story of the progress of a woman who finds herself writing compulsively about the creatures of the night. Jessica Allodola, a senior I high school has already published one novel, and is awaiting the release of her second, but her computer is filled with an entire mythology. One that comes to her at night like a dream that will not let go.

Suddenly the tales become real, and Jessica is confronted with the reality of Aubrey, the vampire at the center of her tales. Both the vampires and the witches that hunt them are real, and Jessica realizes that she knows far too much for her life to continue as before. Jessica's need for isolation prevents her from reaching out to witches like Caryn Rashida, and soon her life becomes a turmoil of shadow and threat. Jessica is strong, but is she a match for those that would seek her death?

Although many of its themes are borrowed from the works of other writers in this genre, this story still displays some creativity in the nature of vampires and how they live among humans. The plot is really neither romance nor horror story, but runs closer to a third person diary. As such, the characters never quite develop to any depth. If the reader is looking for the strong feelings and prose of Anne Rice, or the action and violence of a Buffy story, then 'Demon in My View' will fail to satisfy.

Because of Atwater-Rhodes' age (15) at the time of writing this, it is tempting to be overly forgiving. However, I believe that kind of condescension is a disservice to both the writer and the reader. The truth is that, while well composed, the story lacks what is needed to bring it to life. I fault the story more for its emotional distance than it's somewhat stagy plotting.

As an interior tale, I found it a watercolor masquerading as a drama. While the author avoids the trap of depending entirely on action, she moves her characters as a chess player would. It is a bit too sparse for me, and I feel the book underestimates its intended audience. On the other hand, it is hardly a failure, and promises much for the future.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Plain stupid
Review: This book is stupid... the romance... the vampires... everything and why did she use that poem? Amelia never actually stated if these vampires are demon or not. They hold emotions of love and that doesn't make 'em demon...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Coincidence?
Review: I am a big fan of Ms. Rhodes, I'll be honest, I liked this book and the one before it. I love vampire stories and have also read the anita blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. But, I haven't read any Anne Rice books, only watched the movie. A couple of days ago, I watched Queen of the Damned as it was released to DVD and what I found were several similarites between Anne Rice's movie and this book. Both main characters, (the young girl some how tied to the vampire race) are named Jessica and both girls become powerful vampires in the end once they fall in love with the powerful, ruthless, yet passionate vampire (Aubrey and Lestat). Coincidence? I hope so. None the less, I liked the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Demon in My View
Review: This is an Awsome book! I could'nt put it down and put off school work just so I could read. I love the Relationship between Aubrey and Jessica. It's so romantic. I think it's one of the best books that I've ever read. This author is truly amazing and my friends love it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The romance is plainly unrealistic in my taste
Review: The romance is pathetically told. Of all the guys in school she begins flirting with Aubrey? Why? He's annoying to a fault and the romance is turned into physical attraction, it's just plain teen lust. The story was sadly told and turns into Amelis's fantasy of being hot and a hot guy falling for her. It's a moronic story by a writer with poor talent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Its a great book to read
Review: I think the book is the best of them all. It takes all the characters form the first two books and puts them in this one. The book is basicly about a girl named jessica who writes about vampires not knowing that there real. So another vampire comes to check things out his name was aubrey. He sences a vampire aura from her. But he doesn't know why, as he starts to fall in love with her.As another vampire is trying to kill her. I can't tell you the end but it is good. So read it.
