Chosen At Nightfall - CC Hunter - Shadow Falls

Chosen at Nightfall by C.C. Hunter

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


If you are reading reviews you are a fan of the Shadow Falls series already...  This book was the final in the series even though it looks like Della is getting a series next!  I loved the ending, CC Hunter leaves no loose ends and ties everything together perfectly.

You finally find out who Kylie chooses to be with, there's fun surprises with Holiday and even Kylie's family.  The book keeps you on your toes and the ghost in it is by far my favorite!  I will definitely miss Miranda, Della, Holiday, Burnett, Kylie, Derek, Lucas, and even Perry.  I'm sad to see the series end but as far as series finales this one is one of my favorites.

Whispers at Moonrise - CC Hunter

Whispers at Moonrise by C.C. Hunter

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book would probably compete with the first one for my favorite!  I loved it!  There were lots of twists and excitement.  Someone close to Kylie is going to be murdered and she has to figure out who to try to save them!  Kylie finds out a lot more information about what she is and let me tell you it's amazing and unique!  Her new abilities will amaze you!  Amazing addition and I am eagerly waiting the next book coming out April 2013! 

The love triangle gets completely complicated and you'll find yourself going back and forth between Lucas and Derek.  This book adds a bit of a thriller to the series.  I was amazed and fell even more in love with the series!

I'm currently reading Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick, the final book in the series! 

Taken At Dusk - CC Hunter - Shadow Falls

I really am debating why I rated the book so high.  I'm just completely disappointed in parts of it when I'd been looking forward to it for SO long...

Well here it is for all my fans of Shadow Falls:

Taken at Dusk by C.C. Hunter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I rated this high because I like the series it deserves about a 3.5.  This book entertained me.  I read it quickly like all of the others.  I've even read the Novella.  I loved the relationship between Holiday and Kylie in this book.  The love triangle got more intense.  I don't even know who I'm rooting for anymore.  Both Derek and Lucas are so different and CC Hunter writes one up in one book and then the other in the next.  You just don't know who to love.

Miranda and Perry are finally working it out in this one which made me happy.  There's a new character named Ellie.  There isn't much more to add, Lucas and Derek, Holiday, Burnett, even Red and Mario make appearances.  There was a few twists with the "bad guys" and I liked that.

Here's what I didn't like, I mean really hated, I almost rated it a 3...  The ending.  Here it is, I had no idea this wasn't the last book.  I'm thrilled that it's not I love the kids at Shadow Falls but seriously, the ending was like Deja Vu to the ending of the last book in this series.  That really had me disappointed, I would've liked an original ending. 

Yes Kylie got some answers, but the ending still, besides that, is an exact replica of the ending of the last book.  Meeting her grandparents, questioning her identity, etc...

Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins - Hunger Games Trilogy #2

I'm finishing Mockingjay today I hope because tomorrow Taken At Dusk book 3 in the Shadow Falls series by CC Hunter comes out!!!  

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Action, Killing, Plot Twists, Addictive Read, what more do you want in a sequel? Sequels tend to fall short of their predecessors but I found this one to be a compelling quick read.  Yes you don't get to know all the tributes that well but we didn't know all of them in the first Hunger Games.  The ones you do get to know are easily remembered.  There's plenty of action and plot twists to really keep you flipping pages.  I was so shocked by the ending that I had to buy three and start it the same night.  It was a fantastic read with lots of surprises.  People who expect happiness and roses should not have read this trilogy to begin with.  The complaints seem to be the same about this book and yet I find the majority of people rate it 3-5.  This is not a series for people who want a happy ending which I admit I typically do, until reading these, I've grown to expect sadness and death.  These things are typical of dystopian novels. 



Excellent addition to the series.  I read this faster than either of the other books.  It was fast paced and entertaining.

Born At Midnight - CC Hunter, Next Up Fallen In Love

I finally started and finished Born at Midnight by CC Hunter and now I'm going to read Fallen in Love by Lauren Kate.  Then I think I'll finish the Shadow Falls series...  :)

Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I started to read this book 3 times and then other books I wanted to read more came out.  Finally I had nothing to read and decided to delve into this one.  It took a couple chapters to get into and enjoy it because at first I thought Kylie the main character sounded like a brat.  But once I got into the story I realized she wasn't.  She was really interesting and so were all of her new friends from Shadow Falls Camp. 



The story is about Kylie who is 16/17 and her parents are getting a divorce and she suffers from night terrors and seeing people a "stalker" no one else sees.  Her friends are having promiscuous sex and she gets caught at a party covered in alcohol and is sent away to a camp for troubled teens for the summer.  The camp is really a camp of supernaturals though and Kylie doesn't think she is a supernatural.  No one can tell her what she is and she just wants to go back to her dad who doesn't seem to even want her.



I ended up having sympathy for Kylie and instantly loving her roommates.  She had a witch and vampire roommate and the chemistry between the three of them was really well written.  It was probably my favorite part of the entire book.  That and the shape shifter peeping tom.  :)  Kylie also had an ex boyfriend as well as a love triangle.  So there were many guys in her life but the love was only annoying and overwhelming at the beginning.



The book was funny and took on real life issues at the same time.  Definitely a good read!  I highly recommend it and would give it a solid 4 stars, maybe a 4.5.
