Summary: greatest
Review: This book was Great! Amelia atwater-Rhodes' books are good because they seem so much like the opposite of life here on Planet earth. From the beginning of all her books you (the reader) is launched into a world of Shape-shifters, witches and best of all Vampires. AAR is great at creating a world that is so unlike our world that you almost believe it is ours, we just don't know whats there, whats higher up on the food chain.

Summary: Best novel yet!
Review: Haha, yeah right, maybe a drunk critic would say that. Funny when we talk critics and booksells, I want to know why I haven't I ever even seen her on a top 100 booklists? Why no awards or nominations except for those Ala book picks, or whatever you call it? I've never seen her novel nominated for anything else -- or win for that fact. Yes, a book pick, oh how amazing. It's a good thing she doesn't writer Science Fiction like Ursula LeGuin or else she may get nominated for a Hugo or Nebula Award and win -- because of her age! If that ever happened I would die because Midnight reminds me of those stupid vampire flicks that we must suffer from because they can't write a good one. Slave houses and strong females. I admit Buffy is a great show, it's convincing, because the leading female has a brain while this girl named after a color doesn't have one. Another thing names like: Jaguar (the feline), Ravyn (attempt to sound beautiful from the term of the raven), Silver (haha, I would laugh if someone actually had that name), and Smoke, just to name a few. Why don't you write a fantasy Amelia? Oh wait, you couldn't create an original world if you tried. Too bad, MP is a waste of good cash, borrow it if you're that desperate. Sadly, I liked Shattered Mirror better then this novel.

Summary: Can she write anything original?
Review: 1. She attempts to use Anne Rice's writing style: "Trying to be poetic, when it clashes with a teeny Dawson's Creek episode and sounds like crap." 2. Demon in My View: Copies Christopher Pike's novel 3. Shattered Mirror: No offense, but Sarah reminds me of Buffy. I get the feeling that's why she used the "name" Sarah. 4. Midnight Predator, yes, this is a copy. I actually noticed it from reading the synopsis, before I read the novel. Things she's used over-over: -Good looking chick falls for good looking dude, who falls for the good looking chick who's a tough girl wannabe (Ex. Sarah + Kris; Jessica + Aubrey)
-Nothing but good looking characters (ex. Riska, Jessica, Sarah, Kris, Nick, etc...)
-Only one average looking character.... Caryn Smoke
-Personality Switch.... this goes for DIMV As far as Midnight those are examples of patterns she has used. In Midnight she never concludes the story and yes, the main character falls for a good looking guy and another tough girl wannabe. After seeing Dark Angel, Alias, Charlie's Angel remake, She Spies I am getting fed up with those tough girls who only hold more personality in their muscles. Buffy was enough, but now AAR has to turn these female characters who hold no persona. Midnight showed us exactly what to expect.... unoriginality. She couldn't come up with one, just one original idea if her life counted on it. I'm not saying her books should be wildly original, because then it would sound stupid, but she uses exactly the same ideas other authors use. It's idiotic in her case. She sees to always make the villain the weak guy, maybe an exception for ITFOTN since Aubrey seemed stronger, that is until the terrible fight scene. Midnight is a novel that is just the edited form of her other novels. The only peeps who will like this novel of those writer wannabes who worship her. Just because you can write a book at the age of thirteen, doesn't prove anything. The only thing her books are judged for has to do with her age. Once she hits 30 and still writes ..., critics and fans will be still overrating her.

Summary: She coped L.J.Smith
Review: Anyone who's read L.J.Smith's novel The Chosen (published 1997) can see that Atwater Rhodes as blantantly copied it. In the Chosen, Raschel seeks revengence after her mother is killed by vampires. She learns how to fight and became, surprise, a vampire hunter. She helps Daphane Childs out and discovers a secret world of human slave trade run by vampires and shapeshifts. So Raschel goes undercover as a slave to bring down the organization and ends up falling in love with one of the vampires running it.
Now where have I heard this story from?

Summary: You review the book, not the author
Review: In practically every review posted about any of her books everyone glorifies the fact that she's young and excuses the problems in the book. 'Oh the book has character flaws and is a clique oh well she's young so i like it', sorry kiddies but that doesn't work. Midnight is good, but there are the same kinds of characters that are in all her other novels, the tough but insecure bad girls who go after the tough but romantic bad guys. Some people praise her originality, but i don't see it. Her book is full of cliques from beautiful ubervampes to black leather. I don't know a lot about fighting, but i've worn leather pants and trust me it's not someting you want to fight someone in. So although her books are good, they're not great. I'm eighteen(the same age as her) and I've read stories by my friends that are better and they're eighteen too, but then again they're teachers weren't literary agents. If it wasn't for her teacher or her age she never would of been published. And for all you reviewers who praise her age and allow that to excuse the flaws, what are you going to say when she grows up? Books are reviewed based on book, not the author.

Summary: ....getting old.
Review: First book, vampires...ok.
Second book, vampires....getting old.
This book, vampires....frankly, write about something different.
I know atwater personally, she's a good kid - a little dark, wierd. This book parallels her life.

Summary: Not as Good
Review: I am really beginning to wonder about the mythology that Atwater-Rhodes is creating. Her vampires are frankly too powerful, and it is all too clear that their despicable natures are forgiven because they are "beautiful." Turquoise was an O.K. character until she began to sympathize with Jaguar. I'd like to say that that development was shocking, but it is the same device Ms. Atwater-Rhodes used in nearly every book so far: strong female character ends up falling for evil villain. Plus, I don't buy the whole Midnight slave house. Are the humans slaves or pets? I couldn't fathom. Considering that these vampires are practically indestructible and can move around during the day, it seems to me that they could set their sites higher than some slave house. Heck, they could rule the world because it seems half of all those who try to kill them become them. I give the book two stars instead of one because I actually could finish it...

Summary: Good Book But Could Be Better
Review: I like the book and it was very well written with a good plot, but I wish it would have said more about what happened to Turqouise. She said that a domestic life, while entertaining, was not for her. I just think the author should have given more of a clue as to what happened to her. But other than that it was a great storyand can not wait for the author`s next book. Which is from what I hear about the ancient vampires and Shapeshifters and is called HawkSong.

Summary: Could Ameila be anymore [bad]?
Review: Okay, so her first novel was great. Her second novel was weak. By this time, she's seriously lacking everything that makes a book "good" and "acceptable". What is up with all the far out names anyway? This book is [bad]! My kitten could have come up with better plot, better characters, better anything! Don't buy it. It's a waste of your money, seriously.
