Summary: The BEST, BEST, BEST book EVER!
Review: (best with the possiable exeption of her other books)

The first time I read this book I fell compleatly in love with it. It is a MUST READ, TRUST ME on this one.
It is about the human Jessica who writes about vampires but doesn't know that her stories are true until Aubrey, the villian in her book Tiger, Tiger, shows up at her school under the name Alex. Very, very intreguing. A total five star book.;)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Demon in My View
Review: Jessica Allodola is the main character in Demon in my View. Jessica is a best selling author of vampire atuobiographies under the pen name Ash Night. She is a senior in highschool and is a flawless beauty. Despite all of this the students attending the school are afraid of her and won't look her in the eye, that is until Caryn Smoke comes to town. Caryn seems to think that she can heal Jessica's hurts and become her best pal. On the second day of school a drop dead gorgeous boy comes to school. He looks exactly like Aubrey a main character in one of her books, who is as dangerous as he is gorgeous. As the plot thickens Jessica finds herself in the midst of mortal danger in and out of the Vampiric Community. Usually being different can be good but in Jessica's case being different can be deadly. Suspense, romance, desperation and ignorance all in one, make one phenomenal novel called Demon in My View.

Summary: Better
Review: This book has some of the same characters from her first book "In the Forests of the Night" (like Aubrey). But it also has a new character to, Jessica and Caryn . Jessica is a high school senior, who is a published author who writes under Ash Night. She isnt your average high-schooler, so she is avioded by her classmates. When Aubrey transfers to her high school, Jessica doesnt know that he is trying to harm her, so (I dont know how 2 say it) she follows him (I guess). Caryn (who also transfered to her HS) is a good witch that tries to protect her. What happens? Read the book to find out.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It needed better Chacters
Review: The author has nice ideas but books can be based on ideas alone. They need good chacters to deliver them. This is what this story lacks. The main chacter is a person that the read needs to identify with. The reader needs a good chacter to about the story line and the chacter needs good and bad qualites to make them more human. Jessica isn't that. First off, she treats her mother like carp. Teens will deny that they like their parents but they don't aprove of other teens treating their parents badly. There is no given reason why Jessica would treat her mom like that and it puts the reader off. She is so hateful to other people for no reason and it hard to believe that anyone in high school would treat anyone like they had plague.

Even if Jessica had a body to die for, the reader can't find any reason why Aubery or anybody would like her. The Aubery in the first novel would have just snaped her neck. What was with all the under cover stuff?

The good witches are too self rightous and setrotpylly. The tragey at the end and Jessica's reaction to it will make one throw up. Any sane normal person would encourage the witches to go after the vamps and would be out for revenge.

The only chacter you will be rooting for is Fayla. You'll be rooting for her to kill off Jessica.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Atwater Rhodes is a writing prodigy
Review: Atwater Rhodes demonstrates her gift for storytelling in her second novel, and she isn't eighteen yet. She really does have a gift for spellbinding writing, developing her characters with the skill of Anne Rice. I recommend this book to anyone with a brain.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very good
Review: This was the 2nd book that i finished in one day and i am a slow reader. I loved this book and it had great description of the events that took place. The last 5 chapters were the best of the book. All i can say is that it was an excellent book and anyone reading these reviews should read the book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting...is this autobiographical?
Review: I read Forests of the Night a couple days ago and was intrigued enough to read Demon in My View. I was hoping Amelia's writing would have matured more than it did over the course of two years. The first couple of chapters were very off-putting, as it felt like an in-your-face, look at me, I made it! to anyone who may have disliked the author in real life. Jessica's character is not just dark, she's hostile, and I had to stop and consider whether or not to put up with her attitude long enough to finish the book.

I decided I would, and overall I guess I'm glad. This isn't a significant book by any standards except that it was written by a 17-year-old. In some ways it was reminiscent of Christopher Pike's Master of Murder, a book about a high-school boy writing teen horror books under a pen name...but the books turn out to be nonfiction. Amelia's Jessica writes books that are true, even though she doesn't realize it.

Caryn, a healing Witch, and Aubrey the vampire suddenly show up in Jessica's school and involve themselves in her life. Once she realizes her books are true, Jessica has other decisions to face--which side does she join, the Witches or the vampires? And what happens when she decides?

Amelia's writing hasn't matured as much since the first book as I would have expected; the flow is still too choppy, and she seems unaware of some of the subtler techniques employed in fiction (though I found one delightful piece of unintentional irony: the teacher calls Jessica's name for attendance. "Here," Jessica answered absently.")

This was a decent sequel to a decent first novel, though I would have liked more about vampire Risika and the intriguing Witch Alex from Forests. I don't plan to buy this book or any of Amelia's other books, but they are worth checking out from the library, and good for a couple hours of entertainment. I'm sure I will read the next two when my library buys them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Atwater-Rhodes is good!
Review: Demon in My View is the best ever book by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes so far. Jessica is a teen writer who learns that her fictonal charactors are not fiction and the whole of the vampire population wants her dead. You have to read this book. I couln't put it down!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Amelia is Getting Better!
Review: I have to say,I was unsure about this book,as I didn't have alot to say about her first book,In The Forests of The Night.But Demon In My View was very good.Aubrey,the bad vampire from In the Forests of the Night,is back and just as evil.Someone called Ash Night is writing what they think is a fiction novel about a vampire called Aubrey.But Ash Night is really writing about Aubrey's life,and by doing so,is threatening the vampire community.Aubrey is determined to find the author and stop them from writing again....this is a great book,it's got vampires,suspense and a great storyline.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: She just keeps getting better and better
Review: Even though I really loved "In the forests of the night" tis book just blows it out of the water. This book has all the elements that made "forests" so great, but it also shows that Atwater-Rhodes has improved in her writing.

This is the story of Jessica, a teenage novelist who writes stories about vampires. Jessica has no idea that the vampires she writes about are real, just as her schoolmates have no idea that she is the author that they all love. Aubrey enters this novel in disguise and makes himself confortable in Jessica's life. When I got to the part where you find out how Jessica knows so much about the vampires I was impressed that Atwater-Rhodes had hidden the surprise so well.

If you thought that "Forests of the night" was only okay then you have got to try this book.
