Summary: Shattered Mirror
Review: This book was an all right book. It confused me greatly. I liked Sarah, who was an excellent page-stealer, and Christopher's sister, Nissa, who seemed expertly created. However, Christopher and Nikolas both annoyed me. Christopher was too cocky, to I-Know-You'll-Love-Me. And Nikolas was an excellent villian for a while...until the author completely changed directions in making him a caring, loving Vampire. It drove me crazy, espeacially as Atwater-Rhodes made the witches more and more "bad". They seemed to become gradually worse than the vampires, while I had wanted it for once to be the other way around.
Although I reccomend READING this book,I wouldn't BUY this book. It's a great addition to Atwater-Rhodes' collections...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Great Book By One Of My Favorite Authors
Review: Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is a great writer! I loved this book's characters, writing, and plot. I have read all three of her books, and I can't figure out which is my favorite because they are all so good. Great book, read it!! I can't wait for Midnight Predetor to come out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amelia You Never Cease To Amaze Us Readers!
Review: This book is absolutley wonderful! It's unique and full mystery, and energy. This book will leave you guessing till the end. Some may say she doesn't answer the questions you may have in the book but she does you just have to pick up on it or pay attention I eagerly await her next book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amelia did it again
Review: Once again Amelia has brought us to her world of vampires and witches. Like her previous two I was unable to put Shattered Mirror down. Introducing us to more of the witches side of things was a great thing. And I hope we get to see more of our favorite vampire Aubrey in the future. If you like any books with vampire lore in it I surely suggest all three of her books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Take it for what its worth
Review: I've kept up with Amelia Atwater-Rhodes' releases, and honestly I didn't expect this one to be much better. But I found Shattered Mirror a bit of a surprise in which I cringed through the beginning, then hung on to the rest of the way. This book is enthralling with its delecately interwoven plot and a few new and rather intriguing characters. In truth, the romance is sparse throughout the story and pops up inconsistently. The quick action and unravelling storyline keep you tied until the end.

Unfortunately, the writing itself reads like a pair of fish-net stockings. I hate to sound like a middle school reading teacher when I say this but Miss Atwater-Rhodes does a little too much "telling" and not enough "showing." She seems to take her readers' level of understanding for granted and is a bit too in love with her characters. The introductions and descriptions are quick and unimpressive, inhibiting the reader from really getting attached. And as she attempts to reveal sensitive sides of her villainous characters, such as Nikolas, she only ends butchering any depth the character had at all.

But there's definitely enough improvement to praise.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Much better
Review: This is the best of her novels by far. In my time reading her books I have noticed a great deal more maturity of writing style in this novel. She has upped the anty on the language and the plot. My only problem is now sharply the book comes to a sudden halt. In all three of her novels I have found it hard to cope with the endings..they're so abrupt. But, over all...this is her best work and seeing the progression that she is making she has the potential to be around for a long time. I highly recommend her books...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VERY dark, VERY VERY good
Review: Wow..... wow. Thats just about all you can say after you read this book. At the very begining, Sarah Tigress Vida ( a daughter of very powerful vampire hunters) is on the track of a dangerous vampire named Nikolas. Things go wrong. She then precedes to go to school meeting two other vampires (whom she is supposed to ignore) and developes an attracting for Christopher. Things are about to go very very wrong. Suddenly she is drawn into a world of blood, life, brotherly protection, and edgy tempers. The ending is completly supprising, stunning. I keep going back and reading it over and over again. It is completly unexpected and WEIRD, but an awesome couple pages of writing. The book is ssooooo good, and so is DEMON IN MY VIEW. Read them.... They are awesome, complete with danger, dangerous love, and endangered lives.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another chilling book!
Review: This book is another excellent book from Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. This one is different from the others as it stars a witch instead of the usual vampire. This book was a twisting book with surprises. Example: Their is a twist about the main character's enemy. It was also romantic. I enjoyed this book. I give it 5 stars!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: coolio
Review: Amelia's writing improves steadily. Her first was amazing, her second incredible, and her third to good for words. Sarah Vida, sworn to kill vampires, finds herself enamored with the enemy! the plot twists further when Nikolas comes into play...a fascinating read, and to those who dislike the book, "how many novels have you written that brought happiness to so many people?"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: pretty good 4 her age
Review: this book was pretty good. it was a typical written in first person, romantic, lesson in the back book. the plot was interesting, though. it starts off with the vampire hunter Sarah Vida her family has been hunting vamps ever since the infamous nikolas killed elisabeth vida about 100 years ago. sarah has been transfered to a new school since she had been kicked out of her old one for fighting (does any of this sound kinda familiar?) well she meets the weak vampire christofer ravena who, unbeknownst to her is the brother of the infamous nikolaus well as in most vampire novels and movies sarah falls in love with christofer and vice versa. This book is a big fat buffy spin off but still an enjoyable read. i reccomend this to teens who like romantic vampire novels that don't get very graphic or gritty.
