Summary: Aubrey is THE BOMB!
Review: Jessica Allodola is far from your average 17 year old girl. She is shunned and ignored by her classmates. Sometimes they seem to shy away from her without even knowing it. But that doesn't matter to much to Jessica. She'd much rather spend hours in her room churning out the vampire novels that she has been writing for the past few years. Jessica very much so prefers the company of her undead charecters than her peers. But everything Jessica's ever believed is about to change. Enter two new high school students. They introduce themselves as Caryn Rashida and Alex Remington. While Jessica immediately snubs Caryn, who is secretly a witch, she is drawn to the darkly handsome and mysterious Alex. Jessica recognized him the first time she saw him as Aubrey but, she knew that couldn't be true because Aubrey is a vampire. One that she created. Aubrey is dead set on getting rid of the author who published a book about the one fight he lost to his rival, Risika, and who is about to publish another book about his history. But things go awry for him when he falls in love with her. But Aubrey isn't the only vampire who wants Jessica dead. What will happen? Will Aubrey be able to protect Jessica?

This was MY FAVORITE BOOK by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. God, Aubrey is soo HOTT! Jessica is soo lucky. Amelia has the whole sexy and evil vampire thing down pat. Another EXCELLENT read!

Summary: Amazing
Review: This book, for me, was the best by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. She is indeed a great author and in this story "Demon in my View," she gives you Jessica, a high-schooler who has no friends. She is haunting, and scares away all those who try to become her friend. She writes books, and wishes for the characters in her book to come out. But this can never happen...or can it? This book is a book that'll have you at the edge of your seat. Let's give this author some MAJOR credit. She wrote her first book at my age! Age 13!! Other books you should read by this amazing author : In the Forest of the Night, Shattered Mirror, and Night Predator. READ ALL HER BOOKS!

Summary: This should be burned
Review: I loved her first novel and her third was okay but this was pure [bad]. It was the most superficial book I have ever read. It was rushed and she lacks many story elements.

First off Jessica is a girl who writes books based on dreams she has. Sounds like a rip off of C. Pike. The book is very predictable just by reading the synopsis. The book is very unoriginal and she takes away the vampire myth by making them walk the day. Vampires are night creatures not day creatures.

Jessica is cynical, mean towards her foster mother, "has a body to die for", hates the world and everyone in it. She is annoying to the point I wished Aubery would had snapped her neck.

Now Aubery is so very hot! As the female characters say, so everyone is a model taken from a J. Crew catalogue. Aubery was evil in the first book but here he is a feeble minded wuss. He lets his emotions take over and falls for this ruthless female? I don't understand his thing i guess it's girls who can bad mouth their foster parents.

Fala is the only character I actually can relate to. Like her I wanted this writer killed. I was rooting Fala on but no, the villian always loses.

Amelia rushed on this book writing it was poor as a writer could possibly. She could had taken the time to edit since she has all that time. She has a book coming out once a year, I could had wrote something that thick within a month, why is it that she doesn't take her time and edit? Now if she had a book series going on with a book coming out every month I would understaqnd but this is ridiculous.

There were many elements missing i wouldn't give anymore then one star since she did write it atleast.

Summary: Pretty good!
Review: Well, I was a little bit disapointed, but this was a good book, no matter what my expectations were. I couldn't really relate to Jessica that much, just because she had such a nasty disposition, and she wasn't an incredibly complex character either. I found Caryn kind of annoying. But I liked the vampires. Aubrey--whoa! He was really sexy. He just radiated with strength. I hated Fala--but that was only because Ms. Atwater-Rhodes did such an excellent job of making her vicious and hateable.

Jessica is a senior who writes books under the pen name Ash Night. Kind of cool, huh? Her classmates don't think so. Something about her repels them. Then Caryn and Alex enroll at her school. Jessica immediately dislikes Caryn, but is drawn to Alex because of a strong sense of familiarity. She soon discovers that the books that she writes are true, and Alex--Aubrey, actually-- was sent to kill her because of the things she wrote, while Caryn is a witch here to protect her. Something about Jessica appeals to Aubrey, and he doesn't want to kill her. He resolves to protect her from other vampires. It all leads up to a vicious fight between Fala and Jessica.

While I really did enjoy this book, I have a few bones to pick with it. The dialogue between Jessica and Caryn, especially in the beginning, is not realistic at all. And how is it that Aubrey, so strong in Ms. Atwater-Rhodes' first book and even in the beginning of this one, goes all weak-kneed and sissy over Jessica? His aura of vicious power just suddenly shut down or something. And last--I promise this is last--this book was entirely too short. All in all, it really was a good book. Ms. A-R has a lot of potential as a writer. Four stars for a job pretty well done.

Summary: Another vampiric masterpiece!
Review: I was stunned at how well this book was written, with much more action and description than the last book, and the introduction to a few more of the other vampires, and an introduction to witches. Jessica, an adopted brat, writes stories about vampires that she sees in her dreams. She remembers all of her dreams vividly, and write about these interesting creatures. There is one thing that Jessica does not know though: these stories are true. These stories about dangerous vampires all are true, and she had chosen to lay bare the secrets that many of them have tried to conceal. First it was Tiger, Tiger, a fictional version of Atwater-Rhodes' first book, In The Forests of the Night. Now, it is Dark Flame, a book that tells of the life of one of the most dangerous of the vampires: Aubrey. She tells of the few humiliations that he had had in his powerful life, and this angers him, and the other vampires, who also have a problem with her books, let Aubrey deal with it. But Aubrey gets caught in a trap that he did not anticipate: he began to like Jessica. The rest of the book catapults through action so fast that I found myself flipping through the pages, only wanting to find out what happened. Any fan of vampires should rush out and grab this book, and anything else by Atwater-Rhodes.

Summary: The Demon that I see
Review: This book was wonderful and could not be put down. I almost found myself falling for the spell of Aubrey and I loved Jessica's character. Aubrey was quite the character, an evil Romeo if you will, again non-existant in Today's online guys. The story hit excellent conspiracy, i.e. this Jazyn being Jessica's mother making her somewhat a vampire. Vampires in itself intrigue me and Ms. Atwood has encouraged me to go about reading more of this "fictional" character. At a younger age, I wanted to write a book, become an author, I gave up years ago. But maybe, Ms. Atwood has encourged me that I could try again.

Summary: Loved It !
Review: I thought Demon in my View was far better than her first book, In the Forests of the Night. Her main character, Jessica, is a human writer who doesn't know that her stories about vampires are true. She exposes the past of a very dangerous vampire named Aubrey and it could get her killed.
Aubrey is actually one of my favorite characters, even from In the Forests of the Night(where he was the villian), and I've grown quite attached to him and I hope to see him again in some of Amelia's other books. I liked the ending, as I have a bit of a dark side, and the character Jessica fits the ending as well.
I think Amelia is a very talented author whose next book keeps getting better than the previous ones. I've read three of her books and I would recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I found this book amazing! I couldn't put it down, I think I read it in a day. I love books about vampires, witches, and other supernatural stuff. This may not be the best review on this book, but if you are into this kind of stuff too, I highly recommend it.

Summary: I must say, as a writer, fan and reader. I was disappointed
Review: I read "In the forests of the Night" and found it to be wonderful. And knowing the author was only thirteen when she wrote it inspired me to work on getting my books published. And I was looking forward to reading "Demon in my View"
But, as I read. It sounded basically like my life, and wasn't very EXICTING. And Caryn to me, was just plain annoying. I enjoyed "In the forests of the Night" for it's intrigue, and charm. This story was basically a romantic story, and in the biginning saying "Ha Ha, fools." to those who mocked her in her early years. Also this book was beyond predictable, I finished it and found myself bored. The only time I found myself surprised was when "SOMEONE" died. In the end, after reading all three of her books. "In the Forests of the Night" was the best of the entire series. One reason I was very upset with her last two novels, was they were basically the same. Vampire falls in love with girl, girl becomes vampire. I really hope she writes a better fourth edition.

Summary: This book was GREAT
Review: ...I've read lots of good books and her books are the best I've ever read! Demon in my View is about a girl named Jessica who has a certain darkness to her that people can't place but it scares them off when they see her, so Jessica learns to hate all people. The only people Jessica can relate to are her fictional vampires, or she thinks they are fictional until one of them starts going to her school! This is a must read!5stars for style, creativity, characters that stick, suspense,and an all together great book!
