Loading... Demon in My Viewby Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
The first book was good, but this one was a lot better. Enjoyed the plot and the author's writing style, (still needs work but getting better). Only wish that Jessica's transformation had been more descriptive and that there had been more of an ending; which was quite abrupt considering the novels already stinted length. Hope for more in the upcoming novel. (  ) Allizabeth | Jul 17, 2011 |  1Q, 4P  jwrosenzweig | May 19, 2011 | Demon in My View gives the classic feel of vampires: dark, dangerous, predatory. Yet, it gives the reader a view of their pasts, as humans. A breeze to read, the ending was satisfying and sensible. (  )1  yourresidentvillain | Aug 27, 2010 | This one was better than the first, but still not fabulous. She could have taken the whole series and put them in one volume of connected short stories. I do like Aubrey as a character though. And it was interested to find out about Jessica's mother and how she is able to get into the minds of the vampires. Ilithyia | Dec 20, 2009 | Sequel to In the Forests of the Night. Jessica is shunned by everyone at school, but she doesn't care. She prefers the vampire characters she writes about. When a character from one of her books, Aubrey, shows up at school, Jessica is forced to consider that her vampires might actually be real. An interesting tidbit is the fact that certain vampires become stronger than average because they become vampires unwillingly. The more they fight the change, the stronger they eventually become. I thought that was a nice touch. Now Jessica has revealed many secrets of the vampires and several are out to get her. She must choose death or to become one herself.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440228840, Mass Market Paperback)The teen queen of horror fiction Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is on the prowl again! Continuing in much the same vampire vein that established her reputation, the young writer's sophomore novel also includes a touch of autobiography. Jessica Allodola is a high school senior who pens vampire tales under the pseudonym Ash Night. (Hmmm, sound familiar?) Because of her funereal clothing and cynical demeanor, Jessica is shunned by her sunnier classmates. No matter, she prefers the company of the undead she creates on her laptop, anyway. But Jessica is shaken when a creature from her novel, the suave vampire Aubrey (who fans will remember from In the Forests of the Night) shows up as a new student at her school. Not knowing whether he plans to seduce or harm her, Jessica plays a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Aubrey as she tries to discover the secret of his existence. As she delves deeper into the midnight world of her own novels, she encounters other supernatural beings, like Fala, an evil Egyptian vampire, and Caryn Smoke, a teenaged good witch. When she finally unearths the shocking truth that explains the tangibility of her imaginary world, Jessica must decide if she loves that dark world enough to leave the light forever.Atwater-Rhode's writing, while still showing strong traces of Anne Rice and Stephen King, is maturing nicely as she cleverly constructs this story within a story. Her vampires, while thousands of years old, have adolescent mood swings and tempers, which will sit well with the under-16 crowd. Demon in My View will undoubtedly find its way into many backpacks and Trapper Keepers. (Ages 12 to 15) --Jennifer Hubert (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:25:30 -0500) Seventeen-year-old Jessica Allodola discovers that the vampire world of her fiction is real when she develops relationships with an alluring vampire named Aubrey and the teenage witch who is trying to save Jessica from his clutches. |
